I recieved a check in the amount of 947.35 and was instructed to send 415.00 via money pak to a MARY EDWARDS and the balance of 9,052.65 would be paid to me via airmail next day- I was recieving this money because of a cash grant in the amount of 10,000.00---i was a little sketicial at first but it caught me in a desperate time of need i was being faced with eviction and car troubles- i thought it was legit because i am a single working mother and attending school and have been applying for loans and grants- so i didnt research it much more- after 2days when i didnt recieve the balance as promised i got worried and started researching and found out it is a FAKE- i cashed this check at my bank and now i am responisble for this fake check- i filed a police report and made a complainent with the greendot program (the real business) i also reported it to the BBB- i hope they find out who all is responisble for this- it was not very smart of me to cash it so quickly- i know- but it came at i time i really needed it and the check looked legit- i have to call this a LESSON LEARNED and i gotta realize if it too good too be true--- RESEARCH IT! as i believe in BLESSING, but there are wayyyyy to many scam artist out there and they will take advantage of you- Learning the hard way!
