Fake HS Global Brand invites to work

February 07, 2020 12:53AM
I just wanted folks to be aware that there is a scam going around posing as HS Brands Global. They are using the company logo in the fake correspondence. If you receive anything from Ayrta Bocknard in an email or text message from 657-207-0025 it is a scam. They will send you a check via email for $2,000 wanting you to purchase 4 $500 gift cards. Do not try to cash said check. You can possibly be held for passing bad checks. Thanks for reading.

Did you report this to HS Brands? Please do if you didn't.
The police can not do anything about the scams, but they have to report it through the news paper, Police Reports per town. This at least makes people aware of what SCAM is in now. I think the Social Security Scam is the hot one now. IRS will be next. I have a code on my IRS tax report, no one can SCAM us. We were compromised in the past.

I am going to guess that B. Scott Oakley is from HS Brands. I might be wrong, but that's the impression I got from the post.

Unfortunately this scam has been around for a really long time. I would alert your local US postal inspector as they actively investigate. And whatever you do, NEVER cash the check without verifying it.
Sadly, it's not just MS anymore either. Someone tried a similar scam from PoshMark - I'll send you a cashiers check for more than the items value, you cash it and send me back the extra. Be alert!
