Meritdirect Insurance Sent me a check in the amount of $1992.42 and stated to wait 10 to 24 hours for check to clear and take out $350.00 for my "pay". Then click on first assignment which was to send money by Moneygram or Western Union. Rye Brook New York

 Received a check in the mail in the amount of $1992.42. This was to be a mystery shopper payment and the money for my first "assignment".   My "pay" was to be $350.00 and the rest was to send to Spain.  I did not put the check in the bank or send the money since I did some research online about the company first.  The name of the person on the letter is Shaun D. Martins and the name on the check is Lanette Fernandez. The check states it is Chase JPMorganChasebank, N.A. New York, New York.  The check looks real.  But as the old saying goes....if it sounds to good to be true, it usually is! 

I researched the name of the company Meritdirect Insurance and found that there were several scams showing to be reported on them. 

I sincerely hope these people are caught and put behind bars as I'm sure there have been many people who have fell for this and were out the amount of the check!  Luckily I did check on this but there are several people out there who need money really bad and will put the check in the bank and possibly spend it before finding out that it is not any good.
