I was sent a check for nearly $3000, drawn from Capital One, bearing a company nname of a legitimate Cadillac dealership in Richmond, VA. I was to deposit the check, wait 24 hours, take 15%, and western union the balance to Someone in China by the name of Adams Smith. L: ater I was told Adams Smith was indisposed, to send it instead to a Tony Brown.
I then called the company whose name appears on the check. The phone number on the check was invalid, so I looked it up on their own website, contacted them and found out it was a scam.
