Scam

Has anyone received a check for over one thousand dollars from a person named Joe with Secret Survey?

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

I haven't, but if I did, I would toss it in the trash.

100% agree! Best to stay away from what appears to be free....and always read the fine print (that is why they make magnifying glasses!).

[JB in TV]

Yeah, what they said! It (fine print) may say something like "by endorsing this check you agree to...."

And rather than thrwong it in the trash, perhaps shred it.

I haven't and would shred it. Definitely a scam as no one gives someone "1,000 they don't know. My rule of thumb is , "if I am not doing business with you and don't know you, it's a scam".

Heck, a lot of people would not give you $1,000, even if they did know you"!!!!

Holidays are coming!!! Be careful about ALL kinds of scams. If you are not sure about something, before you make a decision, Call Seniors Vs Crimes (Consumer Complaints) and ask them if it is legitimate. Rt 466 Annex 689-4600 Brownwood & Wildwood Annex 750-1914 Mulberry area 753-7775. They are there to help you

Heck, I was offered $20 million and I turned it down. Those Nigerians sure keep busy.

Just got a call from "the US treasury Department" called ID 19th floor Exec, phone number 213-457-0535. Called stated, we were selected to receive several thousand dollars from the government.......Wife said fine send it to us and hung up!!!

Obvious scam.

I shredded it. He kept emailing me so I told him I didn't have a bank account so I shredded it. I told him to send me a money order so I can get to work! lol

I don't think I will hear from him again.
