If you have received a check in the amount of a couple thousand dollars attached with a letter stating directions on what to do with it... don't follow the directions and don't waste your time calling the person. I am a skeptic when it comes to this kind of junk and I am so glad I looked this up before taking the check to the bank. I would have been in serious trouble!
The letter is posing as a bonified letter, stating that I would be a Mystery Shopper and would need to do a moneygram for a large sum of money plus the fee... the rest would be mine to keep. I knew it was too good to be true to make this kind of money because I've checked into Mystery Shopping before. When I called the number, the person on the other end was so hard to understand, but gave specific direction on what to do. I'm sure dollar signs were shining in their eyes when my call came through.
While I was on the phone with this person, they told me to hold on while they were on another call discussing the same thing to another person who had received a check. Please... please do not cash this check, or deposit it. I am honestly disgusted that human beings from another country are taking advantage of our struggling economy by teasing us with checks for a large sum of money for their own amusing benefit. I ask... what have you done for us to help... ey? $3, 405 was the amount of my check... and I am so glad I did my research before going to the bank.
