This is informational regarding some current scams taking place. My close friend received a check in the mail from a NJ bank with a letter from a company saying she was being rewarded for completing an assignment. The check was for $1,900 something. All she had to do was purchase 3 $500 gift cards from CVS and Walgreens, and give the letter writer the
info an pin numbers, and do a survey on how the customer service was at each location. Doing some checking, there is info on how this is a scam. Although the check looked real and had the bank's routing number on it, had she cashed it she would be liable for paying the bank back. They sent another check today for $3,500. Today I received a phone call from someone saying they were calling from Medicare and were issuing new cards. All they needed from me was to give them my medicare number. Come on, if they are from Medicare, they would have my number. They pull these scams because it works in a decent percent of the time.
