Omni Insurance Co CIS, Direct Shoppers Sent $2300 check to initiate a phoney secret shopper assignment to bilk me out of money Atlanta, Las Vegas Nationwide

I received a random email (I now to have been spam) from these people asking if I'd be interested in being a "secret shopper". I've done this work before several years ago; reporting to Companies the overall performance of thier company's performance by posing as a typical customer.

I replied "yes" to the email.

Without ANY discussion of ANY assignment a received a check from them on Saturday in the amount of $2,310.56.

I've been down this road before. These companies are usually based out of internet cafes in Africa with P.O Boxes in the United States (Indeed this check #384864 is from an "M&T Bank" in Baltimore, Md.). The next step is they typically ask for money from the "target" (me) to complete the assignment, and then they disappear.

So, here we have NO discussion of a secret shopping assignment, a company based as a PO Box in Atlanta, sending a check drawn on a Maryland bank, sent from Las Vegas, Nevada!

I checked them out on "RipOffReport.com, and SURE ENOUGH; there they were with a rip-off complaint.

BEWARE of "Omni Insurance Company" or ANYONE who sends you a large check without ANY discussion of what's expected from you. I even replied to their follow-up email essentially stating "We sent you a check, why are you not responding?". I told them of my intention to file a "RipOff Report", and that's the last I heard from them.
