TTL Group, Inc. Fido Solutions Got ripped off for bout $1600! McCook, Illinois

I was such a fool. Thought I'm smart enough not to fall for these scams and yet I did. The broke and desperate college student in me wanted to believe in something to good to be true. It was not.

I received a letter in the mail with a check for 1986.50. I just had to call this number before depositing. Turned out to be a number linked to something called Fido Solutions in Canada. Should've looked here first. Anyways I just needed to leave enough money aside, about $1600, to wire via Western Union to a Toluana Christian in London, England.

The purpose was supposedly to judge how Western Union handled the transaction. Another 56.50 was meant for me to shop at and evaluate a store such as Rite-Aid. $350 of the check was to be my "salary" for being a mystery shopper.

Well today I learn the horrible truth. My bank charged back that 1986.50 so now I'm deep in the red on my account. Of course I try calling that number and speaking with this guy who claims to be Gomez Wilmot but all I get is a prerecorded unavailable message in French and in English.

So it would seem I've been had. I just couldn't reason it as a scam. It wasn't my money. It was there check and it did clear. But now, it's like the rug has been pulled out from under me and I'm in the red $1,628.51 and I don't know what to do now. All I know to do now is warn others so they don't fall for this mystery shopper scam. If it's too good to be true, it is.
