Qualitative Market Research Tony False Address, NO wed ID, Could not be located anywhere on internet, used 9/11 as reference New York, New York

I was sent a letter in the mail on 6-1-2011 stating that this particular company Qualitative Market Research was interested in me being a "mystery shopper".
I Immediatley became skeptic when I saw Western Union as the place of my first transaction, I then noticed that 3,700 dollars was a lot to entrust a person with. I noticed that the person i was supposed to send this money to was in Paris, France and his name OSSAI, Kelvin seemed odd. I decided right away that this was most likely a scam and then proceeded to contact the "coordinator" Tony Allen (name sound familiar?) when the "coordinator" picked up he did not speak very good english and seemed suprised I had called, He asked what was I having problems with and I began to drill him, asking him how he recieved my information and why would I need to send money to anyone Western Union??? He replied that due to 9/11 they we're seeing if Western Union would be asking for government ID's so funds would not be sent overseas for "improper" use. I asked him again why would that be the first thing I needed to do and he began to get impatient with me and I could hear what seemed like a voice in the background telling him to get off the phone in a non chanlant manner. I was offended that he would use 9/11 as an excuse and explained that my husband was military..immediatly he says" Well ma'am if you don't believe me then you just need to look us up, I will be here if you have anymore questions"
The check was a US BANK check for 3,700 and it was signed by a Vicki Halteman and the remitter being Dave Handcock.
I am hoping someone else reads this before they follow through with anything, please be careful!
