I was a victim of check fraud by Strong Hawk, Inc.   I looked online for a mystery shoppers company for some extra income.  I was contacted several times by Bob Hart and was told that I would receive a package and must follow the directions to be considered.  I was sent several emails explaining the program and requesting information about me. 

I finally received an email stating that I had a package delivered from the company.  Enclosed was a check and instructions on how to complete the assignment.  I was told to deposit the check in my account and wait until it clears.  Once it clears, remove cash and go to the post office and purchase 3 money orders for $520 dollars each and I was to keep $300 for completing the task. 

I had my bank look at the check before depositing it and it was a fake check from a fake credit union call timberlake credit union.  Needless to say, I sent the emails to spam and gave the check to the bank for evidence of fraud.

Secret Shopper Scam

AUTHOR: FloridaNative - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, June 08, 2017

This secret shopper scam has been around for a very long time under numerous names. Thank goodness you had the teller take a look at it prior to actually depositing the check.  If you had made the deposit, you would be responsible for the payment of any funds spent out of that fake check. That's why the sender insists you send them the funds "once it clears". They are relying on your bank's clearing policy to give a courtesy clearance right away and then have the check returned for non-payment.  You can also read about this scam at the FTC.gov website.
