Landscape Associates GrantOutlet.Com, A. Randall, Protectfly.com Phony Check scam offering a "grant" just send fee! Evidence to prosecute Malibu California
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.

Postal Inspectors should always be contacted on these scams. They have much more power than most people think. They have federal authority and do not have the cross state line jurisdictional problems of local law enforcement. Postal Inspectors ARE Federal Law Enforcement Agents. Its a bad day for this scam artist.
