Leggett Market Research Cascades Tissue Group-Sales Inc. Mystery Shopper Scam. I recieved a check in the mail for $2,170.85 to be deposited in my account. $300 was mine to keep,the rest was to be sent to someone via Western Union.The check is FAKE! Waterford , New York

I recieved a check in the mail in the amount of 2,170.85 which was accompanied by a letter describing a job as a mystery shopper. The letter contained complete instructions on how the jobs were to be carried out and what was to be done with the check. A second page contained 2 forms to be filled out for the jobs to be done which included a evaluation of a Western Union and a Department Store. There was a phone number to call to activate the check. I called and spoke with a guy who said his name was Michael and spoke with a african accent. He assured me that everything was legit. The check was activated.

I Googled the company name which pulled up RipoffReports and saw a report filed  on this company which described my same experience so I compared the name, address and phone numbers. They were all the same.  I called Michael back and told him what I discovered and he hung up on me. Now I was lucky because I researched them before doing anything .. If it seems too good to be true.. It usually is.
