The victims will then be left to pay back the bank the wired amount and other charges associated with the processing of the check.

Remember, when you receive an offer that is too good to be true, please do your research before participating, even if the offers seem legitimate.

Please see the email below. They originally posted a notification on Facebook, I replied, and was sent the email. As soon as I read the process for handling the "payment", I knew it was a scam. Of course, I thought it was suspicious in the first place!

They also sent a text from phone number 406.290.0471

I seen a ad on Facebook about Pepsi mobile vehicle wraps freelance. So I reply to the email and gave the information they needed; and they sent me a check out for 1950 dollars so I deposit it into my check account. But I didn't know it was a scam until I look it up on the internet today at work. What should I do because I don't want to get in trouble for something I didn't do. Please help me.
