Complaint Review: John Shaw

I am a pet care provider & some how they managed to get my cell # & use my profession against me. I received an odd text from Ericka Tesar from this phone # 1-877-413-4443. Saying my manager is locating to your location & needs services for their dogs. To email Hannah.trenchard@outlook.com. So I did & we back & forth emailed eachother for about a week. Talking about the services needed, what services I offer & working out a business service for their dogs. She told me how her & John have been together for 6 years & he just got promoted & she is 6 months pregnant. That, they wouldnt be able to take care of their dogs, as much as they wanted too. I thought it was harmless, to my disbelief. Hannah Trenchard told me first, that I would receive a $2,955.00 check & to keep $300 to secure my services.

Then, they wanted me to send the rest of the check to one of their managers to buy the supplies needed for the job. I honestly thought it was a test, to see if I was trust worthy with their money & their home while away. She told me to contact her right away after I received the check. So I did as soon as I received it, I told them. They wanted me to deposit all of the money. I thought something was up, so I called the bank on the check. To verify if this was legit, I contacted Fox Communities Credit Union. The man who answered didn't even think twice & told me to rip it up, that they have had many people contact them about these fraud checks with the name associated with John Shaw. I wanted to report these people even if all the information is blank. Because if I would have cashed that check, I would of owed the bank that amount & I don't have that kind of money to repay. I want everyone to know, how easy it is to fall for these scams. I hope that anyone who is contacted by these names. Will now have some sort of info on who they are & what they're about.
