This number is associated with a check/ washing cashing scam. They get ahold of closed bank account information and checks that have already been cashed and print your name on it telling you to do a secret customer service survey and purchase gift cards for them. Talking photos of front & back sending txt pics. By time check bounces you are out the amount of the check. This is the 3rd time I have received such from this person.
