It involves you receiving a check made out to you for $2,000 to $4,000. The check is real and will come via UPS, FedEx, DHL, or USPS. You will be told to immediately deposit the check into your personal bank account. Next, you will be told to purchase gift cards with the funds and forward via email the card numbers, which they will immediately transfer to different cards.
