I recieved a check from Family USA Inc. shoppingInsite Inc/DBSmysteryshopperjobs.The check was mailed to me in the amount of $4,880from Canada with no return address on the enevelope. I called the number and spoke with a woman named Laura Mckenzie she was the assignement Coordintaor. The woman told me to cash or deposit the check and call her immediatley after the check cleared and she would give me the lcoations of were to use the money (Walmart,The gap, Money Gram,and Western Union)She assured me several times that this was not a scamm and she didnt ask for an account number so i deposited the check.She called me The next day to see if i deposited the check and gave me their fax number.I then went to my bank and they informed me that my account was negative and i deposited a fraudulant check. They rippped the check up immediately and told me the could press charges and that i would not have an account open for 7 years.The said they have many checks from this company many times and one woman was sued for 7,000 for having the same check.I was so embarrassed and ashamed leaving the bank and my account is now negative because of this company. I have never experienced this in my life.I will remember this for ever. I am so depressed and filled with shame I cannot believe these people are so creul and heartless.

I received aletter like this today...........plain white envelope with no return address. I never signed up for a mystery shopper program, so i was skeptical. So I tried to call the phone number given.......twice.......and was told to leave a message. Then I googled shopping insite inc.....and found a link to the ripoff report. I hope you are successful in your suit against the company, but I am glad that I checked before I deposited the check. I will be turning the letter over to authorities here in Washington, DC. It is a shame that people use hard working people like you and I in things like this.
