The person calling me from this number previously e-mailed me using the name "Jessica Larry" using the address jessica6t7k@gmail.com. They claimed to be moving to Chicago from the UK to work for the American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and were seeking martial arts lessons from the club I manage for their daughter. Our dues are $60, but they mailed me a check for over $1,000.00 with instructions to send the balance via Western Union to a cab company that would be driving their daughter from home to the martial arts club. The 'cab company' address given was a person (Aaron Green, 32 N. Main Street, Rosenberg, TX 77501). The check arrived and appears genuine (Check says it is from Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company, 100 Vanguard Boulevard, Malvern, PA 19355), and was mailed via Fedex from a sender identified as 'Smith Andrew' of RCT LLC, 1014 Vine Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202. I did not follow through with any of the instructions as this apppeared to be a confidence scam. I did not receive actual phone calls but follow-up texts from the 312-236-1165 number urging me to send the balance via Western Union. Texts were made on 4/29/13. No contact from person since that time.
