Complaint Review: Secret Shoppers

Working from online resumes, this scam involves sending the target victim an envelope in the mail(with no return address). The package appears to be a prepaid assignment to test the MoneyGram system at Walmart by sending $3400.00 to a Bryce Hall in Moncton, New Brunswick. Canada. This must be done within 48 hours. After a service charge from MoneyGram of $115.00, you get to keep $350.00. A cashier's check for $3,865.00 is enclosed, drawn on Greenfield Co-Op Bank at 144 Main St., Northfield, MA 01360-1020 showing a phone number to call regarding the check of 1-902-412-1355, a Nova Scotia phone number. There are also reporting forms to gauge the service of Walmart.

All fake. If you are stupid enough to front the money, you will soon find their check a worthless forgery. Criminal activity.

Yes, the cashier's check looks very, very, real. If you call the number on the check, the phone is answered with "Integrated Payment Sytems Inc.", then they ask your name and put you on hold until you hang up. The web site does not work, and no email address is given. Be warned.
