Description

Received a priority mail large envelope with a letter and a check inside for $2,488. The letter was from Amusement Advantage. The envelope was from "KS Group" (there could be a letter in front of the KS, but the writing was not visible). and the check was from Primeway Federal Credit Union. The letter instructed the recipient to deposit the check, deduct $388 from it as cash for the payment of completing the job. Then they were to go to two or more Target stores and purchase $2,000 worth of Target gift cards. After completing this task, the recipient was to email [email protected] and complete a short survey AND include the gift card numbers and other information. Rob Shofner also included his phone number which was 775-583-7434 This is a scam.
