Prudent Shoppers Research
Nesha Elery and Paul Thompson Received check for $3,870.00 in the mail

Received a check for $3,870.00 in the mail from Prudent Shoppers Research. I am to deposit the check, send $3,320.00 via Western Union or MoneyGram to "training agent" Nesha Elery, 1723W Kentucky St., Louisville, KY 40210. I am also to call the coordinator, Paul Thompson, 1-403-667-5524 to activate the check or to ask questions.
Pay estimate of $170.00 for Western Union or MoneyGram fee, keep $300.00 for one week of "work", buy $80.00 worth of items from several stores mentioned to evaluate them, and I get to keep the items.
I believe this is a scam. Have heard about people depositing check, following instructions sending off majority of money, then bank reported that that bank account from which the check was written was closed, putting the person in debt to the bank for $3,870.00 plus bank fees.
I had not solicited work at home but have been getting internet spam and now this check and letter. What do I do if this is actually a scam? Do I report it to our Attorney General or what?
