Description

@mistressvin9151 messaged me on TikTok and expressed to me that she wanted to make a painting of me and pay me for her work. We talked about it and she convinced me to deposit a check that was coming from her client. When I spoke with her client artsentertainment he sent me a $400 check through Capital One. Once I deposited the check, he asked me to deposit more checks and that’s when I start to get confused cause I was like wait I should only be getting paid for one thing. Why are you trying to give me multiple checks? So I left him alone and I didn’t response any of his messages. Then the next two days I received threats from other numbers +1 (719) 623-5581 +1 (646) 830-9253 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] 3210 N PARK DR MISSOURI CITY TX 77459-2008 MO Reginald Shanks 98505455 Capital One Check The day I deposit the check I quickly called capital one in my bank and expressed that I deposit a fraud check. They told me everything was fine a couple days later I tried to close my account. They said I couldn’t and now my account is -$397. The check that was given to me, got bounced.
