got the same email but it referenced CareerBuilder and the name was David Brearton.
Can anyone tell me if they received the check and cashed it and what happened next? Or did nobody get this far? I’m seriously curious!
My check (I know it's a scam, but I love messing with people like this) was supposed to be delivered today via FedEx; it's currently pending, and I arranged to have it held at my local office. I just want to see what happens next :)
It bounced and now i owe 1600 to my bank
Same message with name Pete Smith
