Here is what I did. I told them I would not transfer any funds from my account to anyone. I deposited cashiers check in my account, my bank will hold for ten days to make sure of its legitimacy. If the check clears I will get a cashiers check and personally hand to the installer upon completion of wrap advert. So far he has answered all my calls and text and kept in contact with me. I don’t know what else to do to protect myself against this, I’m still Leary but he has been Legit and is being patient with my requests few

I too, received a letter from "Matthew Evans" but upon reading it with all of it's spelling and grammatical errors, I quickly realized it was a scam.

Tee Hee Hee, I happen to have friends in the Attorney General's Office in NY and forwarded the correspondence to him. I also notified 5 Hour Energy corporate offices and Fedex Corporate offices since they are using both companies in their scam.

They have no idea who they messed with this time! I love it when criminals trip themselves up!
