Description

I received a cheque in the mail under a name I use so scammers don't have my actual name. I use this specific name on websites i view as suspicious. The paper i recived along with the cheque told me to contact the number (828) 316-1633 with my Full name, Amount received, Bank name of the check, My phone number, and estimated time it'd take me to complete the evaluation. After searching online to confirm my suspicions, the names listed did not match. The number though matched what was listed as a scam did match. Whats weird is they wanted me to buy Footlocker cards worth 1300 dollars then take pictures of the cards front and back after scratched, I'm not entirely sure if the names listed are victims aswell but i'll list them anyways. Claudia Martinez is the name on the cheque, and Adam Brentwood is the name i was told to contact after completing the evaluation.
