Complaint Review: WM Quality Control Management

I received a letter with a check attaches in the amount of $1,998.72.  This check was drawn on Wachovia Bank, N.A.

 The letter was an acceptance letter for the check and the position of Consumer Service Evaluator which had to be

activated on line, before depositing into my checking account.

 After the deposit was made, I was to go online to www.wminiciativeselect.com; sign in using a user ID and password generated from the letter.  The letter gives a breakdown of how the money was to be distributed.  $350.00 of it was to be for my perticipation in the program.  The rest of the money was to be split between two assignments underlined in the letter.  Assignment# 1, was to be sent to a false receiver located in Madrid, Spain using Western Union.

 Assignment# 2, I was to send money to a false receiver in Atlanta, Georgia using Walmart 2 Walmart Money Transfer.

My position was to evaluate these transactions and send a report by fax or email to a coordinator at coordinator@wminiciativeselect.com for review. 

 I activated and deposited the check but not into my regular bank account.  Instead, I opened a new one and maid the deposit.  I waited a few days, then went online to see what the assignments were and how I was to conduct them.

 They were unprofessionaly written and suspicously worded that they raised red flags.  I tried to contact Walmart Iniciative Select Company by phone and email several times but only got recordings and no answers to my emails.

 This only raisd more red flags, so I called my local Walmart Store Manager who informed me that Walmart never sends out checks for this pourpose, that this is a scam.  I then went online to Ripoff Report and found very similar reports, under a different name using the exact scheme.  As a result, I did not continue with this transaction and lost no money.

 I will make a report to my local police and postal service concerning this scam.
