Market Research Inc. They mailed me a "cashiers check" for $2,400 wanting me to deposit it into my bank account in attempt to steal my bank information. Clifton Park, New York
Report Attachments
The week before Christmas I received a letter in the mail with a cashiers check for $2,400. Market Research Inc asked that I deposit this check into my bank account, I should withdraw $2,100 and keep the other $300 as my participation wage. I should take $1,800 and go to western union. They would provide me with a computer generated receiver name, destination city and country to western union the $1800 to. I should fill out a 6 question survey about my experience at western union. I should take $150 of the money and purchase whatever I wanted at best buy, Walmart or Kmart and fill out a 10 question survey about my experience in their store. As an added bonus, I could keep the products I purchased at the store.
After completing the survey I was to call a survey coordinator to verify that I completed the survey and get instructions on where to fax the paperwork. It said in the letter that I had 48 hours to deposit the check and complete the survey.
This is the second year in a row that the week before Christmas, I received this garbage in the mail. And at two different addresses! Last year I took it to show my bank, this year I gave it to a bank manager relative who determined that it is most definately fraud. They are attempting to gain peoples bank information.
These people need to be stopped. During such difficult economic times, imagine all the people who have deposited this in their account only to later find they are missing money!
Can you help me to stop these people?

Steal your bank information? Not likely, they want the 1,800 dollars and later the check will bounce.
