Good morning,
The payment will deliver to you this morning via UPS courier

informed that the mover shipping funds was added to the check so I

money and am also offering you $50 for your kindness and run around
expenses. Then the difference ( remaining balance ) can be forwarded
back via Moneygram International Money Transfer which can be done at
any walmart outlet around you. Kindly speed up the process today so
that my mover can handle the pick-up soon and also I have other things
they have to pick for me.

Package received from Anna Kravetz of Scottsdale AZ (company: AZ Most Eligible) - not sure if she is involved
Texts received from (863) 797-4916 - out of Lakeland, FL
Check received from Nationwide Insurance (Canton, OH), drawn on J.P. Morgan Chase (Dearborn, MI) for $1250
Reported to Nationwide, J.P. Morgan Chase, Big Sky Western Bank, FTC, FBI
Ask LOTS of questions about the "mover"...the company name, address, phone number, etc. (they wouldn't answer the questions, kept avoiding and finally gave me a bogus freight company name - "Los Angeles Freight Moving Company" - doesn't exist that I could find). Also, ask the "buyer" for the final total to be sent (I got an answer not even I the ballpark of the check amount).
If you are suspicious of the check, call your bank and ask them what to do. Call the bank it's drawn on to verify funds, call the account holder and verify the check actually came from them. Use the contact info for these companies that you've researched from a reliable source and cross check. Never hurts to be too careful. If they are legit, they will understand and be patient with you.
