I deposited the check into my account, but was smart enough not to touch it until I was certain it cleared....which it never did. The bank ended up debiting my account and for the $3934.00, and I was at the same spot as I initially started.

The Logs Goup/Spectrum Research Group>>>SCAM SCAM SCAM MONEY LAUNDERING SCAM SCAM SCAM

AUTHOR: Cindy - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, January 29, 2009

I got this letter in the mail today as well! If you Google the address 232 Sandringham Drive North Moraga CA 94556 it is someone's house and you can see their cars in the drive way...Someone should call the CA police on these people..... Also the Check has a different address and when you look it up this web address comes up http://www.mortgagemag.com/guide/c001/c001488.htm and a cross street view of nothing!!! This is the worst scam ever these people suck! I would never drop money into my account from someone I didn't know just to pull it out and "mystery shop" with it. Putting dirty money into an account to pull out clean money and send it off is called money laundering.........I hope these guys get locked up for this stupid crap.
