Gwinnett Intl.Group Inc.
Gwinnett Intl.Group, Inc. - Gwinnett Intl. - Farmers Market, Inc. A check sent to me which was to be deposited now. Then I was to send money Western Union or Moneygram Smryna, Georgia
A check arrived via mail from a Mystery Shopping Co., which was for $3,870.00. I was to be an evaluator/shopper. I was instructed to immediately deposit the check in my bank account. Then I was to call Dorothy Johnson for instructions to send $3,180.00 by Western Union or Moneygram to one of their coordinators . There was a form that I had to fill out evaluating the transaction. I spoke to Dorothy Johnson and asked for their website but she could not give this to me. I gave her my email address for her to fax more information about their company and she said she would. I never did get this information.
The scam was for me to deposit the fraudulent check, send my money by Western Union and keep the rest of the money for my services which was $500.00 with a promise for more lucrative work
The hoax is that by the time the check is returned to my bank for insufficient funds, I would be liable for the entire amount of the check.
Beware of this scam!
