Got an email from a supposed mystery shopper service that evaluates service for major companies, was a bit skeptical but answered. Contacted by mail three days later with a letter and check for $990.The "probationary" job was to cash $990 check at your bank, pay $20 fee to send through Money Gram services to a fake relative in Canada with the same last name as mine.

Instructions were to keep $100 for your work, pay $20 fee for Money Gram delivery and send balance to a fake individual. Check has no watermarks and is drawn from a JPMorgan account in NY, NY. Had additional paperwork included that had a "schedule" you were supposed to fill out for times you would be available to work for the next week and a customer satisfaction eveluation form that is sent back within the next 48 hours.

The scam is you cash check within a short time frame, wire the money and send in the form. THE CHECK IS BAD, DON'T DO IT!! I received it on a Friday, was concerned about it being an out of town check ( I know the bank will hold for several days ) so I decided to reserch the company before I did anything. If you cash this check, the bank will hold money from your account until it clears and since you must complete task within 48 hours, by the time you figure out it's no good-you're out of luck! Beware!!

My friend had the same experience he came over one day and said he received something in the mail and wanted me to check it out so I did and when I got there he had this $700.00 or more check can't remember the exact amount for the check and said that this so called company wanted him to cash the check and then send it by money gram or western union whatever it took to send them the money and my friend would get to keep $200.00 or something like that for himself I told him no way is someone gonna give you $200.00 and thinking you're gonna send them the rest RIGHT most people would keep the money for themselves but here's the catch your bank will either deny the check or cash it and get you for fraud well here's what I told him I told him to go to the bank and see if it was real BEFORE trying to cash it so he did, he went to the teller and asked her I think he said she said she was going to call that bank that the check was written from when she came back she said it was fake and that there was no such bank and the address was fake of course to. She told him that there were alot of ripoff scams outside the U.S. so when you try to cash a check they really can't tell because it's out of the country so they target out of their countries territory. Well see people if you are getting something for nothing you end up with nothing and possibly more trouble FRAUD. So watch yourselves out there or the criminals will.
