A musician from Donna, Jason Moreno, warns others after being targeted by a fake check scam while booking his band, Buck’N Crazy Band. In April, a person claiming to be from Brownsville contacted him about hiring the band. The situation raised red flags when the client offered a $1,000 deposit for a $500 request and sent a check for over $4,000, asking Moreno to return the excess via Zelle. After confirming the check was fraudulent, Moreno canceled the event and shared his experience online, which went viral. Experts advise musicians to verify bookings and report scams to protect others.
