That one poster was a little hard on you but maybe that's what you need.Everyone is looking for that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and that's why these people are able to scam people so easy.Like the saying goes,if it sounds to good to be true then it is to good to be true.
But like he said you don't have any chance of getting your money back,so just learn from this.
I wish you nothing but the best and God Bless.

The emails you received were not from Secret Shopper, but rather were from a scammer, using information copied from our website to make their offer seem more legitimate. We are sorry for the inconvenience you have experienced recently and are very troubled that our company name is being used in disreputable scams such as the one you described.

OK, a few things here. First of all, you are NOT going to get your money back. The scammers with the phony names and titles, phony addresses, disposable cell phones and portable computers are LONG GONE with your money. Yes, they are most likely lying on a beach at some exotic location LAUGHING at YOU, all the while having fun spending YOUR money !! Wow....what a genius you are !!
Next. You are NOT going to take any legal action. How can you ?? THEY ARE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY, Genius. Far, far away from US laws and law enforcement agencies. And, of course, you have absolutely NO CLUE as to WHO they actually are, or WHERE they are, do you, as if any of that would actually do you any good.
Next. You received a HUGE check in the mail from a "company" with which you have never had ANY form of communication; no interviews, no paperwork filled out, no phone calls, no home visits, NOTHING whatsoever. And suddenly, out of the blue, you're employed by this "company" who doesn't know you from Adam's house cat !!! For Pete's sake, use what's left of your brain for once in your life !!! Just HOW did they get your name ??? How did they know that you even wanted this job ???? WHY would they send a complete STRANGER this enormous check ??? Geeezzzzz.
Seriously, exactly what kind of a company operates in THIS fashion, Genius ?? A BANKRUPT company, that's what kind, because they have sent all of their money to strangers who's names they pulled out of a magical hat. And you didn't think that this could possibly be a scam ????? Seriously, Genius, WHO pays an employee BEFORE they even start to work, and then expects this person to actually DO the work, rather than just keep the money for themselves ?? Can you really be that stupid. I guess you CAN be, as you certainly fell for it, and sent your hard earned retirement funds to these VERY OBVIOUS scammers.
Now, here's the REALLY good part of your adventure down Scammer's Lane. When you went to the Moneygram location ( yes, even though you didn't mention it in your post, in all probablity the scammers demanded that you go there. How do I know this ?? Because this old, OLD scam has been exposed on EVERY TV station, radio station and newspaper in the country, along with the INTERNET, for many, MANY years, and Moneygrams can NOT be traced. ) did you not see the SIGNS posted ALL OVER the office telling you that THIS IS A SCAM, and NOT to send them your money ?? And, guess what, Genius, just in case you're blind enough not to see the LARGE SIGNS, the very same warning is printed in BIG BOLD LETTERS right on the form you filled out !! But, you, being the genius that you are, chose to ignore all of the warnings and sent the money, anyway. Didn't you ?????
At this point, I would normally tell you to wise up and check out such obviously suspect things here on this site, but I would just be wasting my time, wouldn't I ?? You'll never learn.
