BizCampus Consumer Research Group "SCAM" Received counterfeit check for a Mystery Shopper position! New York New York
Aloha
Yesterday I received a letter from Canada (Return address: FRSM, PO Box 2537, MTL, QC H2m 2L3). Inside were 2 pages and a check for $2845. The 1st page was the introduction and that I was selected to be a Mystery Shopper, and details how it would work and so on.
It also says that the evaluation would be in 2 steps and the money was broken down in different categories.
Probation training first week pay............ $ 400.00
Money Gram including service fees................$2320.00
Required funds for shopping Wal-Mart............$ 100.00
Sears...........................$ 20.00
McDonald......................$ 5.00
Total------------------------$2845.00
I knew right away that this was a scam as I read that the 2nd evaluation step would be to go to the nearest Money Gram location and to send $2320.00. I contacted the bank (Live Oak State Bank) who's check it was and also the issuer Communications Workers of America Union (C.W.A. - AFL - CIO Local 6251.....). Both are out of Dallas, Texas. The bank told me right away that this check is part of a scam and to contact the local law enforcement, what I am going to do later on.
I am really sick of those people and scams. I was only looking for a job and then get this!!
