SurveyMonkey Mystery Shopping Scam Palo Alto, California

I received a letter from a company that states they are Survey Monkey and there is a casher's check in the envelope along with this letter. Survery Monkey is a legit company but this company is using their name to perform fraud. They ask you to deposit this cashier's check in your account and then withdraw $1190 to western union the money back to them. They lie and state that they will activate the account and put the funds in on the cashier's check once you let them know you will start doing their surveys. It seems legit because they use Survery Monkey's name.

This is a common fraud that is happening to several people. I am glad that I didn't send any money via money gram or Western Union however several people have done this in the past.
