Scam question
Hello, I keep getting these emails and I don't know what to make of them. Heres a snip of what the email entailed "You'll be paid $250/hour, of which payment for 2 hours advanced deposit of $500 shall be mailed upfront to you BEFORE the shoot to ensure your engagement on the upcoming project with us in line with our business ethics. Meanwhile, the balance of $500 will be paid at the shoot venue as soon as the shoot is done. More so, Your wardrobe bills will not be from your personal pocket, in view of this; YOU WILL NOT ONLY RECEIVE A CERTIFIED PAYCHECK OF $500 but also with an ADDITIONAL amount that you will use to pay for your wardrobes bills which you will forward to the Designer in charge of your Wardrobe after processing the check along with your measurements. As time goes you will receive more info regarding the wardrobes." Yada, yada. I'm sure there are tons of people who have gotten this. I know its a scam but I guess my really question is that is this them trying to get my credit card information? Anyone has stories from this?

They make money when you forward money to someone & their check will bounce. Jan 28 17 03:23 pm Link SMendez wrote: They send you a check for, say, $2,500. You deposit the check into your bank account and send $2,000 (for example) through Western Union. Jan 28 17 05:05 pm Link Scam!
