Citzens beware. I work at a financial institution and we've recently had many customers come in with "Mystery Shopper" checks. How does it work, well... You'll get a check in the mail. They'll instruct you to go to your bank/check cashing place and cash it. The check is normally for somewhere around 3000 dollars. Now, we scan our checks, as does every other bank and what not, we'll more likely than not, find it to be a different bank, via the routing, when comparing the bank info on the face of the check.
If you manage to find a business that cashes this check, you will get the 3000, but once it becomes a bounced check YOU will owe this money back.By then, you will have followed the instructions that came with the check. It'll as you to spend $50 at some store. $50 at another... Write some kind of letter reviewing service... And then they'll tell you keep, I don't know. 500$ for yourself and ask you to take the remaining and buy money orders and send them back to them, usually for "training" other mystery shoppers..
