Infiniti research, inc they must think people are pretty gullible. Houston, Texas

I recently received a letter from INFINITI RESEARCH, inc announcing I had been selected to be a "Customer Service Evaluator"; enclosed also was a fairly legitimate-looking check made out to me for $3780.00. I was to deposit the $$, then go to two 
Western Union locations & wire $3140 of the  $$ to a location to be determined. for this, I would make $400. ( $240 goes to W.U. as a service fee)

Infiniti called this a "try-out " assignment.

Somehow I couldn't help but feel somewhat skeptical. Seems odd that a company would send out a check to someone they didn't really know for such a large amount. Naturally, I have done nothing so far. There is a posting from a Credit Union in 
Indianapolis, IN. detailing a similar scenario, ( naming INFINITI  in Indiana) wherein they indicate this is very  likely a scam.

The Credit Union in Houston that originated the check appears legit.

Oddly, the return address is Ontario, Canada.. street address shown- but NO company name. I can find no website for any Infiniti in Houston, Tx, the address indicated on the letter. 

Anyone else get any correspondence from this co.?
Wondering if there is any connection between Infiniti/Houston and Infiniti/Indiana.
