I received an email regarding being a secret shopper. I filled out the information with my name, email, address, and phone number. Then not to many days after I got a text saying I was accepted and that a check would be delivered to me. It said to text as soon as I got the check. It came in a priority mail envelope with instructions on what to do with the check. The email said to cash the check and keep $400.00 of it and buy the rest in apple or footlocker gift cards. The check from a reign beverage company LLC. The address was in Los Angeles, CA. The name the personal email came from was Gino Salmina. The check came from first Merchants Bank and the remitter on the check was Christopher A Jones. I called the bank to confirm the validity of the check and there were no funds available based off the check.

A letter from a company posing as my mortgage lender trying to pressure me into buying “mortgage protection” Addressed from Re: My Mortgage Lender’s name The text reads “PLEASE CALL UPON RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE” “We have been trying to reach you regarding a matter of importance as it relates to your mortgage. Please call 1-833-402-0148 Thank you, The Mortgage Service Center” In very small text on the back of the page it says it’s not *actually* your lender and that my information was accessed by them via public records. Came in a paper form with perforated edges that you fold to tear open. Paid for with presorted first class US postage.
