Insider Mystery Shopping Mystery Shopping Scam! Woodbury New York

I received a vague letter, and a Cashier's Check drawn on the Huntington National Bank of Columbus, Ohio. The check is for $4989.00. I'm sure this is a bogus check, just as the one for the same amount drawn on the MidWestOne Bank was, as noted in another Ripoff Report I just read.

The letter says to deposit the check in my bank account, and then proceed to perform four mystery shops on Burger King, Wal-Mart, Western Union Transfer and Money Gram Transfer. The shop instructions are totally vague and meaningless, except for the instructions to call "Brooke Andrews @ (514)569-5076." I'm sure this person will tell you to send the wire transfers to a specific person's account. The wire transfers are for $2202.00 and $2103.00.

The Cashier's check is made out to my name, with the bank routing # 044000024. The "Remitter's" name on the check is Linda George.

The letter is signed by Anthony Bret (Director, Operations) for Insider Mystery Shopping. That's all the info I can provide.

Good Luck...and BEWARE!!
