Zevia energy drink Imposter scam
A fake check/money order scam report, targeting a consumer in Orlando, FL, USA - 32803.
Narrative evidence
What happened
Zevia Energy drink is a real company but this was someone using company name to scam. Sent me a check for the amount $3990.80 and instructed me to deposit into my bank account and once the check cleared, I would collect the $700 for my weekly payment and the other remaining funds from that amount would go to the sticker installer that was going to go on my car for a campaign to promote this energy drink.
