Market Pulse Fraudulant Check,Dont Deposit-mystery shopper. Delta British Columbia
On August 11th I received a letter and Check in the amount of $4,820.00. I called the Telephone # in BC and was informed I was choosen to become a Mstery Shopper and I would be paid to do so...I asked the thief (man I spoke to) how could i be assured this was not a scam.He told me"deposit the check it will clear and call me when it does" tasks as secret shopper involved walmart,Gap,and money transfers through western union and Money Gram.
..So as a silly person does-I deposited the check, Wow It cleared,within 2 days..I called my Bank and asked if the check was good as gold? I was assured by the rep., Yes as good as gold..lol, so I was thinking hum....maybe this is legit. So I waited 1 more day after check clearing to call the thief back..guess what??
there was no answer, no answering machine.
This struck me strange so I called my Bank again., this time I spoke with a Lady who had dealt with this kind of scam before., She assured me the fraud dept.of the bank would advise me..and so I spoke for another 20 mins with That Lady who gave me some solid advice,
This whole process has been such a pain I now have my Bank account frozen,I have to go into my local branch and file a fraud application,I then have to go to the police dept.and file the fraud complaint..WOW...
I have learned my lesson-and I hope you read this before you deposit that (or any)Fraudulent checks.
Funny thing is......I am always warning other people about scams....LOL
