Scam Warning: Yes, this is a real company, however they have previously been impersonated by scammers as part of a ‘check fraud’ scam. This scam is easy to avoid: If you ever get a large check in the mail from anyone claiming to be from “Sentry Marketing” it is fake: DO NOT deposit it! Do not wire any money! Pretty simple to avoid.
I want people to know that Sentry is picky, but they don’t pay on time and are very slow to work with. I did shops for them in July that I still have not been paid for. When I contact them the Check is always in the mail.
