*Consumer Comment: It's a scam - good thing your bank caught it
No credit card was used. I simply received an unwarranted email saying a check was on its way via fedex to become a secret shopper. On 5/26/17 I received a fedex left at my door containing a letter of instruction and a cashiers check for995.00 from a bank called First National Bank and Trust Company, 1625 10th st, Monroe, WI 53566. I thought wow with the specific instructions included maybe this was legitimate. I took the check to my bank and they told me it was fraudulent. Routing and account # 12698371 075900973. 1900035

It's a scam - good thing your bank caught it

The check for secret shopping is a very long running scam. The names change but the scam is exactly as you describe. Take a look at the FTC.gov website so you learn to recognize these financial scams.
The good thing is that your bank recognized the scam and caught it before you deposited the check. Otherwise you would be responsible for the amount of the check + fees to repay to your bank if you had deposited it. Thank you for posting the bogus routing numbers so other people don't get caught up in this scam.
