Description

I received an email from a Walgreens career opportunity notice to complete employee evaluations at a local Walgreen; I supplied my mailing address as requested. Two months later, I received a USPS Priority Mail envelope from Belleville, MI with a fake "cashier's check" for $2,800. The check had all the makings of a real one, except a bank address for Comerica Bank. I was told to text 585-714-2921 "received," deposit the check immediately, and to keep $350, and go to one Walmart and purchase three gifts $400, each. Go to another Walmart immediately and purchase three Walmart gift cards of $400. Keep the gift cards, text pictures, and wait for instructions. The letter said to purchase another item for me to keep, and text that cell number, immediately when I go to Walmart so "we know the exact time you go to the store." I was told to get the cashier's name and some other information while I was at each store and to text it to [email protected]. I checked online and saw that the number was listed under scam. I did not go to Walmart, and I am in the process of contacting Fraud Alert.
