Studio Merchandise, INC. Bryan Adkins, Mr. Henri Richardson Selected to a Mystery Shopper through Consumer Survey Specialists Chicago Illinois

These people sent me letter stating I was selected to be a mystery shopper for their company, Studio Merchandise, INC an affiliate of Consumer Survey Specialists. I received a check for $3,950.00. Upon acceptance of employment, I would keep $200 and spend it either at Wal-mart, K-mart, Macys, Jc Penny or Target. Then I would send $3,450.00 back to some other guy (Bryan Adkins) with a $150.00 service charge fee through Western Union or Money Gram. Then keep $150.00 for myself which was supposedly my pay.

I called the guy (Henri Richardson) to let them know I received the letter and check and he didn't answer with a company name just said Hello like if he was at home or using his personal phone. I decided to look up this company, and I didn't find anything on them, no email address or web site. I ended up calling Bank of America to see if the check was legit, and of course it wasn't. Thank God I did deposit this check or else I would be another victim of this scam.
