Secret Shoppers Wal-Mart Money Gram Scam and Bogus Cashier's Check Calgary Alberta Canada
I recveived an unsolicited letter in the mail from Secret Shoppers of Vancouver, BC, and a consumer report sheet for the same company with the same physical address except the city changed to Calgary, Alberta. The the cashier's check was in the amount of $3275 and I was to keep $300 for my pay, send a money gram to a relative of mine in Hamilton, Ontario in the amount of $3425 and pay $60 for the processing fee to Wal-Mart. The amounts total $3785 but the check was only for $3275, which set the first red flag a flying. I located the credit union on line that the check was drawn on, Winkler County Credit Union in Kermit, TX and sent them an e-mail to verify the account number and the validity of the check, purchased by some Jessica Coughlin. The person who authored the letter did not sign it but the name at the bottom is Linda Flemington. I sent the information via complaint of fraud to the Federal Trade Commission. This is a fraud scam originating in Canada and hopefully the FTC will contact Canadian authorities in Hamilton, Ontario and have this person(s) arrested. IF YOU RECEIVE ANY UNSOLICITED CASHIER'S CHECK IN THE MAIL, CONTACT THE INSTITUTION IT IS DRAWN ON AND REPORT IT AS FRAUD
