Kroger Express Company Sent a check for shopping surveys, and bank called 5 days later, and said check was fake Jeannette Pennsylvania
Kroger Express Co. sent what they call a payroll check for you to deposit. after which they give you 2 assignments. 1) to wire cash via western union, and moneygram. 2) Use remaining money to buy items at a local business, they name the big box stores as their clients. After doing their assignments they have you fill out survey forms and scan all receipts send them e-mail. 5 days after deposit of their check my bank called and informed me the the check was a fake.

Why would you have to send them money to do their "work" for them? You are now out the total amount and the bank is going to want the money repaid to them right away. Sure hope it wasn't too much, but it's usually in the thousands.
"..to wire cash via western union, and moneygram."
This makes the money untraceable and you'll never see it again.
