On XX/XX/2023, an account on XXXX I recognized reached out to me to do a painting on one of my XXXX posts. I thought it was a cool idea so I accepted and from there they explained how they were gon na conduct business. They would send me a check for the rights to the image and I would just sit back and send me a copy of the completed work that they were also sending to another consumer. I agreed and so they sent me a check and I cashed it through XXXX bank and it said that it had gone through, but then the XXXX account had told me to send back {$500.00} due to an error of some sort and I didn't think anything of it because of the check they had sent me. After I sent back the {$500.00}, all seemed well until the next day, the checks were declined and the instagram refused to send back the payment I had made through venmo. I was not able to get the money back and I was then blocked by the account. I reached out to chase bank for help on the issue and I filed a claim which was reversed a month after. I have information on the XXXX account, I have a phone number, and I have the username used on the venmo transaction plus messages of the conversation.
