I just love busting scammers!
I got this $4950 check in the mail in a plain envelope with a Los Angeles postmark. It has a check inside for $4950 drawn on California National Bank, and a letter from "A. Randall", "Grant Broker".
It gets better! The letter says to immediately cash or deposit the check and send $495 commission right away! Then, after we get your check, we will overnight you the other $4950!
Well, those of you who know me know that this is too good for me to pass up!
I went inside my bank to the counter and deposited the "check" for $4950, and got my reciept. I was posted and available immediately, but I did not touch the money. Now 3 days later the credit is reversed, as expected.
Bank of America is sending me the bad check as well as my bad check charge notice and bill for $5 for a returned item.
Now, legally I am the victim as it has now cost me money, and I am going to prosecute the bad check too. It is a felony being $4950.00, and they sent out thosands of these checks according to CalNational Bank!
I have notified the "issuing bank" and they are already aware of the scam. Next notification is the FBI. I notified the scam artist and stated I expect the check be made good, or I will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.
The domain GrantOutlet.com is a protected domain registration by ProtectFly.com. I also notified them that they are complicit in the felony if they do not immediately shut down this domain after being notified of the criminal enterprise being run.
