We received a letter today with a check for $2,450.50. The letter told us to deposit the check into our account. The money will be in our account in two days.
We were supposed to "Mystery Shop" two stores, spending $50 at each store. Then "Mystery Shop" a Western Union location by sending an international Western Union transfer (in the amount of $1,830.00 $120.00 service fee) to an agent in Spain. Then call a number in Canada with the Western Union Control numbers immediately after completion, then fax copies of everything to an 800 number.
The envelope was postmarked from Canada, the check and letter were dated May 4th. We received it May 5th, in Alaska. The letter and check had business addresses in Dallas, TX. The bank the check was written on was in Dallas, TX. The phone number we were to call was in Canada. We were supposed to send the Western Union to Spain.
Sounded too good to be true AND suspicious. We didn't follow through with their instructions. I wanted to post this on usacomplaints.com in the hopes that others will see it and be wary if they receive anything from these people. And in the hopes that someone will do something about it.
