Today I received a letter with a check for $3,499.86 for America Consumer Research Mystery Shopper
Research.
I DO NOT have a bank account at this time but I did take the
check to a bank and ask them to look it over or tell me what they could
and all they could do was deposit it and wait.
I took the check home
and decided to call the people and this is how our conversation went:

Something fishy about this one for sure. I live in Bentonville and that is not a local area code or prefix.

Yeah, it's pretty suspect when someone just sends out $3500.00 checks. Of course it's got to be a fake.
The scary thing is people fall for this kind of scam all the time. They have bank accounts and the banks have no trouble cashing them (the banks only seem to make you wait when it's a paycheck or any legitimate check)...then when it bounces they hit you up for the full amount of the bogus check (yes, you are responsible for cashing the bad check in the banks eyes), plus all fees involved such as NSFs etc..it can be a life changing disaster.
