Direct MOnitoring & Research Group Management Data System Intern., Inc. A "Want To Be" Mystery Shopper Scammer Tampa, Florida

I received a letter in the mail and a check made out to me for the amount of $3,998.00. Contained in the letter was a description of two assignments that I am to complete using the money from the check I received. My first assignment was to cash the check and spend $100.00 on any product I chose to and fax a copy of the receipt along with a survey report to 1-866-603-7324. After that my next assignment was to send $3,158.00 via moneygram or Western Union and evaluate my experience. This is to check and make sure these businesses are complying with federal guidelines as far as asking for ID and other similar info for any amount sent over $1000.00. I was supposed to contact my Assignment Coordinator PETERSON CHAMBERS  at 1-517-573-5738 to get the address to send the money gram to.

The instructions broke the money down into what was to be spend where...

PROBATIONARY TRAINING PAY     $500.00
FUNDS FOR SHOPPING                $100.00
FUNDS FOR TRANSACTION AT MONEY GRAM OR WESTERN UNION     $3,158.00
SERVICE CHARGE (MONEY GRAM OR WESTERN UNION)    $240.00
TOTAL   $3,998.00


THIS IS A SCAM!  The checks will not cash...I tried. Luckily I did not deposit this check.

The name on the check is Management Data System International inc. 9385 N. 56th St. STE. 301 Tampa, Fl. 33617-5505

I did a reverse search on this address and the closest thing I found was an ADT business with the address of 9395 N. 56th St. Tampa, Fl. 33617.

THIS LOOKS LIKE A LEGITIMATE BUSINESS BUT IT IS NOT. DO NOT CASH ANY CHECKS RECEIVED FROM THIS COMPANY OF ANY LIKE IT. A
