someone wants to send me money to do a painting of me,i get a cut of the money

Question

There is a woman approached me on fb saying she likes my profile picture and wants to do a mural of me. she said her client is gonna fund her 2500. i get 500 for letting them paint a picture of me. she told me that the clients account manager will be texting me. her client says she is fine to send me a check for mobile deposit to my email address for easier access because i also need part of funds to get the art supplies to complete the painting and asking for my full name and email address where the check sent to

Answer 1

This is a scam. You will get a check for $2,500. Your bank will deposit that check and you will see the balance in your account. Then you will send the money on to the "artist".

Then in a few weeks, the check will be revealed to be fake. You will be on the hook to pay back the bank the $2,500 and the money you sent to the "artist" will be long gone and unrecoverable.

Classic cash back scam.
