T.T.L. Profile Outline Inc. Humphrey Johnson I cannot say they did anything to me but I am a little reluctant on a check that I received from them in the amount of $1,898.85. This check is for Mystery Shoppers program. I am supposed to deposit McCook, Illinois

"  I would like to get some feed back as to what should I do with the check,  "

  Shred it, burn it or otherwise destroy it.   It is a phony check.   The basis of this scam is that they get you to deposit the check and send them real money through Western Union as part of your "job".   By the time the bank returns the check as bogus, they are long gone with the real money that you sent them.

   This is a very common scam which manifests itself in a few different ways.    In a nutshell, when you receive a large check that you weren't expecting from someone you don't know, it's the phony check scam.  

  The scam takes advantage of the victim's ignorance of banking regulations.  Specifically, that a bank must make funds available before a deposited check clears the originating bank.   The victim will then be responsible for reimbursing the bank for any funds received when the check is ultimately identified as being a fake.
