Complaint Review: Shoppers Market ResearchP&g Pharmceutical

december 2 2008 received "invitation" to work as mystery shopper evaluating 1 of the following companies k-mart, home depot, gap,jc penny, wal-mart,sears, or lowes. the second evaluation was to be on western union or money gram. check did not pass bank scrutiny, no perforated lines of any sort.i was to fax my acceptance form to them by dec. 5th, on that day offer expired. the check they sent was for the amount of $3970 to be broken down as follows: 1 probationary training pay $100.00/hr x3 $300.00
2 required fund to be transferred $3400.00
3 service charges $ 170.00
4 funds needed for shopping $100.00
total $3,970.00

i was given the names of 3 individuals to whom money could be transferred. 1 located in long island ny, 1 in bronx ny, 1 in queens ny. this is the first "business" i've had contact with that has NO web address. that in itself is enough for me to get suspicious, and i personally have never seen a check either personal or business that has no perforations from being torn out of a holder. also, there was not a financial institution's name anywhere on the check.
