Focus Plus Shoppers Group sent me a check for $4,215.00 on a bank account that is not active to be a mystery shopper Spoke with the bank the check was issured after the account was closed Dallas Texas

I recieved a letter by mail that iIhave been selected to participate in a paid consumer research program as a mystery shopper, with this letter I also recieved a check for $4,215.00. The check was on a account from Dallas,Tx.
the account name was Tidewater Senior apts out of Dallas, tx. there was no phone # or listing that i could find off of the web. The bank listed on the check only had the name, so I checked this out and spoke with some one at the bank and gave them the account # on the check, I was told the account had been closed for some time. The date on the check was issured after the account was closed. I also found a scam from another person on this same company.Please help me to inform others of such scams. Also when I tried to contact the # listed to verfy my acceptance the voice mail was always full.
Thank you Pamela
