Obviously I did not follow through and cash this check or there wouldn't be a picture of the check in this report I was just letting everybody know out there what is going on and how people are trying to scam everybody. I'm not dumb by far and I do research on everything and anything in the world what I feel there is second guessing. I was just informing everybody else out there so they wouldn't have charges that they would have to pay back for a somebody else's stupidity.

This an obvious scam where the check will clearly be worth nothing. It may clear at first, but it's a fake check, so the funds will be reversed within a week or two. Usually they say you "won a contest" and have to pay a small fee. I've never heard of it being done in such an obvious and shady method. This scam is one of the oldest and most well known. It's a shock that someone would fall for it still. Unfortunately though you were greedy and helped a scam artist. How did none of this stand out as shady to you? Western union, taking notes on the staff, moving money around for them... No one gives money away, no one who pays you would immediately ask you to spend money, secret shoppers don't do shady cash transfers - they shop.
Money doesn't come easy. If it's too good to be true then its simply not. Next time don't let a dollar get in the way of your sense. There are plenty of real jobs out there and none of them will contact you or ask you to go to western union.
