Fraud and cheating

I received a letter in the mail offering me a position as a 'Mystery Shopper' being paid $440. a week. A check was inclosed in the amount of $3375. I was to shop one of seven stores with $100. of that and Money Gram $2900. to an individual in Canada claiming to be one of their representatives. I was to keep the rest as my pay.

I did deposit the check as I have been working with survey companies online and thought they had a part in it. Thank God the teller put a hold on the check to ensure it cleared. It did not but I was out 5.00 to back the deposit out of my account. I plan to meet with the bank today to see if I should even close this account.

They are ripping off people and causing people to loose faith in the companies they claim to be. The names they are using on the letter and on the check are real companies. The banks the checks are written on are real companies as well. Do not deposit these checks.

Unauthorized charges

Received check in the amount of $ 2, 920.00 in the mail yesterday afternoon. What seemed and looked suspicious to me was the letter that it came with stating that I was offered a position as 'Consumer Survey Specialist' a.k.a Mystery shopper on a part time basis.

My salary would be $80.00 an hr for 4 hrs worked($320.00), $2400 had to be transferred through Money Gram, $100 would be spent to transfer/wire the money through Money Gram, and $100 for me to shop at one of the 7 locations listed on the letter i.e KMart, Home Depot, Gap, JC Penney, Wal-Mart, Sears, or Lowes. The objective of the Money Gram 'assignment' was to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of a payment system.

I would strongly recommend that this be investigated to ensure many families are not buying into this scam and not put themselves in a position to lose what they've worked hard for.
