Expert Opinion

Imagine getting a check for $1,100 out of the blue and being asked to buy gift cards—that's exactly what these texts are pushing. The pattern ties back to a single individual, Derek Terpstra, who claims a "secret shopper" gig for Whole Foods Market, but the details (misspelled brand names, unsolicited checks) scream scam. Never cash a check you didn’t request; banks will later reverse it and you could face fees or criminal liability. Preserve the message, block the number, and report the incident to the FTC, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, and your local postal inspector. Stay skeptical and protect your finances.
