Daniel Strauss, the V.P. operations of the Miami Research Center, sent me a a form to be a mystery shopper at one of the local stores in my area. I did not apply for this type of job. Along with the letter was a cashier's check in the amount of $2,400.00. I read the letter from top to bottom because it seemed like a good offer.....which is to go and do surveys and rate how the customer service is to the shopper. I have never been offered employment that depended on me depositing a large check into my bank account before working. The letter urged me not to cash the check, but to deposit it in an account for them to verify that it was there, then the money c second than be taken back out. This is not the first time that I have received something like this. Times are very hard for many woman like me, who have children and are going to school and working while trying to raise a family on little or no money. To receive a check like this is all we pray for in order to get us out of whatever financial hole that we might be in, but I know that NOTHING is life is free!! No Body gives away money without a catch...Some day someone that wont know better will deposit a check into their bank acct or someone else's. when that happens, this fake company will have access to their banking and personal information and they will take all their money from their bank acct. Someone please stop this fraudulent company from doing things like this to people. I really need a job right now but I will not take a chance like that. It sounds too criminal....Please check this out and email or call me if this is fake or real. thank you.

This one is easy.

AUTHOR: Flynrider - (USA)

  Do you really need someone to tell you that the check is fake?   Put on your logical thinking cap and mull this one over.  Does it seem logical that you would not only get a job you never applied for, but that this so-called company would send a valid check for $2400 to someone they'd never heard of?   

  Cons like this rely on the greed of the victim.  Greed makes you stop asking simple and logical questions like those above in an attempt to cash in on easy money.

 

"Some day someone that wont know better will deposit a check into their bank acct or someone else's. when that happens, this fake company will have access to their banking and personal information and they will take all their money from their bank acct. "

  Not even close.    What happens is that you call the number in the letter, they tell you to wire part of the money somewhere else as part of the phony job.  About two weeks later, they have untraceable cash in hand, and your bank is asking you to repay the amount of the phony check you deposited.   Think about it.  It's a phony check, so how would they possibly get your banking info.  The check will only be returned to you, not to them.

They want you to deposit it because it takes about two weeks to return it as bad, By that time you've been f**ked out of REAL money.
Throw it away, it's fake, AND a scam.
