Complaint Review: Smith Barney Monitoring & Research Services(Mystery Shopping Market ResearchTraining & Con

I received a letter to my grandmothers house that I have not lived at for over 5 years. I was kinda shocked that I still received mail there. I went home and opened it and it was a letter with a check for $3,960.50, made out from Adobe Systems Incorporated Matching Gift Program. I said out loud what the "f@#!. My parents were there at the time and asked what happened. My dad read the letter and he was bought, but not me I had a gut feeling it was a scam. It had mentioned that I requested to participate as a mystery shopper. Which i know I didn't and why would i give them my grandmas address. It also mentioned that I would get paid $100.00 an hour for 3 hours, I had to spend $150.00 at a major shopping store and use the rest to pay fees to transfer $3,340.00 by western Union back to the company that supposedly sent me the money. I ended up typing in the address on my Internet search and here I am I found similar stories such as mine. Please research before cashing anything sent to you. No one give money for free.
