I am currently investigating this company in central North Carolina for sending out stolen or otherwise fraudulent checks to various individuals in my state as well as other cities in the US.
Several individuals in Noth Carolina have received a check for $4, 985.00 along with a letter instructing them to deposit the check at their local bank and then take these funds minus a $830.00 payment to the local Wal-Mart and send the difference to Kurtis McFarland in Halifax, Nova Scotia via a money gram. The letter further states this is to test the customer service of the individuals handling the money transfer.
The person depositing the check will then be responsible to their respective bank for the full $4, 985.00 when the check will not clear.
If you have signed on with shadowshopper.com you are likely to receive a worthless check that might have a legit company logo on it. Don't deposit or cash it!
In these cases prevention goes alot farther than the cure!
