Manpower, Sullivna Singers Booster Clun, INC Sent a 2,975 check. Was to cash, send money gram and keep 200.00 plus a 50.00 walmart purchase. But now account was debited for the 2,975 in full amount. Milwaukee,Sullivan, Illinois---Ajax, Canada Wisconsin
I had received a check of $2,975.00 and I was told I was going to be a secret shopper. I was to send a money gram of $2,665.00 which also charged a +/- $60.00 fee. I was then supposed to purchase anything I wanted from Wal-mart in the amount of $50.00. Then I got to keep the left over $200.00 and fax all my receipts and survey to the following number: 1-810-483-6838. Please help, I am a full-time college student with two part-time jobs barely making enough money to pay my rent. I have obviously made a big mistake by doing this but I was desperate for money and It is hard to say no.
Sincerely,

it sounds like you got scammed for the entire amount.
Somebody sends you a check, which you deposit in your account, you then send them a moneygram, they get clean, untraceabble money and the check that you deposited is returned as insufficient funds...
it's a scam that has been going on for some time and you appear to have been victimized.
remeber, there is no such thing as a free lunch...
