    Hello fellow forum members,

    I want to share a recent experience that I believe is a scam, in hopes of preventing others from falling victim to a similar situation.

    Recently, my partner and I were supposedly hired by Shock Energy Drink for an advertising campaign. The task was to put a wrap on my car. As part of this arrangement, they sent us a check. Since I don’t have a bank account, we deposited the check into my boyfriend’s account.

    The next day, we visited the bank to ensure the check had cleared and was legitimate. The bank staff, particularly a lady at the branch on 20th Street, informed us that there was an ongoing scam similar to our situation. They had just had a meeting about it. The bank manager advised us to wait until Monday for further action, assuring us that they wouldn’t process the check until then.

    To our dismay, the bank went ahead and processed the check, only to later withdraw the money from his account. Now, they are attempting to make us pay for a part of it.

    This experience has been quite distressing, and I wanted to warn others about it. If anyone else has encountered a similar situation or has any advice on how to handle this, your input would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.
