As I opened this letter, addressed to me, with no return address, i saw a check that looked to be real. As i read the letter that came with it, i knew it was already a scam. So out of my curiosity, i continued to read. On the letter it had a lot of well known company like Wal-Mart, Sears, Home Depot, Kmart, Costco, Office Depot and alot more to mention. So i got a little bit more curious. I figured it was one of those secret shopper company, it was telling me to activate the check, cash it and the go shopping and everything i buy is for me to keep. I decided to go to the website as it instructed me on the letter. I signed on then clicked on activate the check. Then it ask me for my info and i was cautious because i got burned before from a company i applied for via Craigslist..the form said its optional so i click NO THANKS as one of the option, But it was not doing anything, So since they know my address i put my name and address but left everything else blank but still did not go to the next page until i put my id and ss (ofcourse i was not that stupid) so i put all 0 on everything and it went thru. As soon as I click SUBMIT it told me to go to Western Union and sign up for an account as if i was sending money overseas. As soon as I saw that I knew it was a scam. I deactivated that crap right away.. This kind of company or people need to be stopped. So when you get a check that looks real and too good to be true.. ask yourself and stop or do your job and google or make sure you have someone else look at it... So Becareful. The Amount of my check was $1,995.55 and said that i can deposit it within 24 hours... Yeah Right!!!!
