So I recieved a check that same morning from the casino and i went to go cash it when i arrived to cash it out the teller told me the amount is too much to cash out so i waited till the next day by then i took out the cash kept my 40 dollars of comission and sent the money to Beverly Hawkins the next day was the worst day I had recieved a text alert from my bank saying that i had commited fraud and that i owed them 960 dollars .I quickly panicked and attempted to call Ireland Riona back but apparently the phone number was a number created online i texted her and she didnt reply and then another check arrived.I stupidly assumed that maybe it was a trust issue and cashed in the check by then my debt of 960 was gone so i was relieved till today. I got charged 990 i dont know how im going to pay it off but i swear to be more careful next time. I found another person who was caught up in this and im glad i did atleast i know that i wasnt the only one to whom this happened to i wish i wouldve found out sooner .
