Description

I was sent a check via FedEx for $2650.00 to place a wrap on my car for 12 weeks. Once the wrap was installed I would receive an additional $500/week for the 12 weeks. The installers fee was included in my initial check. So i am assuming someone would be requesting money from me if i deposited the check. I was to deposit the check and send a copy of the deposit slip to Robert Smith with the check amount and the check number. All of this needed be be done via texting to 240-319-8462. Once that was done I have an install date and time set up at my home. The check was drawn on Westlake Financial Services out of Los Angeles, CA Comerica Bank & Trust N.A. Ann Arbor, MICHIGAN 48275-2450. Yes, the Michigan was capitalized on the check as I typed it. The letter was signed Mr. ROBERT SMITH in type only. He was noted as the Auto Wrap Campaign Manager.
