MAIL SCAM NOTICE -
I received an email to become a mystery shopper and received instructions int he mail regarding my first assignment. It was to test the efficiency of the moneygram service. I was sent a cashier's check for $980 and told to keep $120 to participate. I had to pose as a potential customer for Wal-Mart who was sending money to a relative(who was actually the company) and write a survey on the experience of using money gram.
Their contact info recvd 11-09-07 via USPS:

Then you have to call in the information along with emailing and faxing the information to the company. I shared this with other friends and one told me that something didnt sound right. She asked me to further research and sure enough it has been listed as an ongoing scam in the US and who knows where else. If you find that you have been a victim of this you should contact your State Attorney General's office immediately.
You should also file a report with the FTC(Federal Trade Commission) It has also been suggested to contact local authorities or the FBI.
