So I got an inbox on Linkedin from a person that I knew about a marketing research opportunity. Since it was someone I knew I signed up. I had several email correspondence with an Edward Fuller who then asked me to confirm by text.
It wasn't until I got a check for $2998 and requesting that I cash it at my bank, get 3 $850 money orders and 4 books of stamps did I realize that this was a scam! I reached out to the individual I got the message from in FB and asked did he send me a message.
He explained to me that his account was hacked and a bunch of messages was sent out. Needless to say, I'm not cashing this check and I'm for dang sure sending nothing back!
