5th - I received this email below 3 weeks later with a request to cash a check?


 
This is to inform you that a transaction has been completed and you will be receiving your 1st payment for processing this morning via FedEx.
 
The payment is for $1,976.

On delivery of payment, you are to send a notification that payment has been received and then proceed with the processing.

Once you receive the payment kindly deposit it via your banks mobile app, if you don't have one, please visit your banks website and download one.

If it becomes too stressful to do that, kindly head to your bank today and have the check deposited, please note that a (third) or less off the total amount will be made available to you immediately,
make that known to me so I can give you more instructions on what to do next.

As a matter of fact I would need you to send me a copy of the deposit slip provided to you across the counter after deposit has been made.

Note: If the slip would reveal vital information about your account details please mark it out before sending please. 

You are to deduct 10% as earlier discussed ($197) and you'll be sending the rest of the funds($1,779) to the customer whose information will be given to you as soon as you're ready to send the rest of the funds to him/her.

Once the task has been completed you are to send me Info/Details such as:

{i} Deposit Slip
{ii} Amount available for withdrawal
{iii} Due Date for total sum to be available if not available on the 1st day of deposit.
 

Email me with details required as soon as the transaction has been processed.

Your efficiency is needed.

Good luck with the task.

6th- I filed an IC3 report with the FBI and now one with Rip Off reports,
I will include a copy of check I received with the overnight FED EX envelope.

I received only check with no company letter head and Cara Operations is suppose to be a fast food chain in Canada, 
I questioned why I would get a cashiers check from a Home Owners Association and 
the sender on the envelope did not have a company name just a private individual named

"Atumn Horrall - Freeman, Melon Acres INC P.O. Box 198, Oaktown, IN 47561 phone number: 812-745-2807.

In addition, I keep getting a text from this so-called Matthew Mclendon at 205-544-2253".
