Posing as a consultant for Xyiencce Energy Drink Company, spelled similar as Xyience but with 2 "C"s they claim to be willing to pay $300/week in return for wrapping your vehicle with their logos. Once you agree they send you a check for $2430 and tell you to take $300 as your 1st payment and then to wire the balance to the company doing the vehicle wrap. I assume that's the scam, you wire them money that you never actually received.

The check came from Elliott Bay Design Group, but after talking with them they deny any involvement and said multiple calls came in about the scam.

The checks are written from M&T Bank / Buffalo NY.

Received emails from a Mr Tory green supposedly work for Rockstar Energy Drinks advertising and was sent a check from CHRIST THE KING CATHOLIC SCHOOL Tampa FL by Wells Fargo Bank N.A

Received promotional literature in the mail today (Jan. 9, 2016), addressed to a Jason M. Yukins, 11545 Old Ocean Blvd., Apt. A, Ocean Ridge, FL 33435-7358. My name is John Butler and I have lived at this address for over 8 years; I do not know any Jason M. Yukins. The promotional literature indicates Jason M. Yukins is a Chase customer. I am not a Chase customer. Check for fraud. Perhaps this Yukins has opened an account using my address?

"Alica David" contacted me about buying and Xbox 360 and she sent me a check for an amount well over my asking price. Then she requested I send the remaining money to her "mover" so they can pick up the item I was selling through money gram, so that when the fake check bounced I would be responsible for the missing money from the bank and she would have the cash in hand.
