   Then wanted me to act like a secret shopper, but to secret shop western union and i knew right then it was a scam!! My dad thought it was weird from the jump. So Thank God That i didnt send them the money but now I have to return the money to my bank so i dont have to pay this back. They say in the letter to have the cash in hand and to send it within 24 hours!! They do this i am sure because even though the check cleared at my bank, i am sure this is a bad check, and they want you to send it before my bank finds out that its not really Walmarts check!!!                   

   I recieved a letter saying that based on the previous survey , I am looking for a part time job. Then has a check for $ 1,998.45. Then wanted me to then be a secret shopper. To keep 350.00 for participation pay. Then when the check clears at my bank, which it did, to have the money in hand before i look at the next assignment. When i pulled up the assignment, it states to send 3 people with my last name,{ 2 in Atlanta and 1 in Madrid, Spain} send money to western union posing as a Secret Shopper. Then I called my father flipping out saying that of course, he was right. I have already went and got the money thinking it was legit being a secret shoppper, but Thank God I caught this cause now I am sure my bank will be calling first thing Monday, and I will have to pay every bit back!!  This is just horrible all the way around!! So Dont Do it if you recieve anything like this! Also my father noticed that there is no return address and it had a water mark from Madrid,Spain!! Where they wanted me to send the $925.00!! 

            If its to good to be true, Then it is! My father always said this and now i know why!!

         I do agree!! I am a 30 year old and of course a female. So i thought of course they have secret shoppers and since the check actually cleared my bank, that it was actually legit!! Well thats what i thought anyways until when i went and got it and then read what they wanted me to do. But my dad has all the money and cant wait to go to my bank Monday to give it back!! But also i told the bank teller about getting this check in and she was also wondering how to become a secret shopper. But Yes so Glad that i did relize it!! Believe me!! Cant wait to give this money back! Just hope everyone knows about this and I did my part to warn everyone so.....Yes I have recieved my card!!
