Mystery shopper scam!
My wife and I received a check from consumer monitoring and research group that described a work at home position based on mystery shopping.
Reading over the document and seeing that everything seemed legit and in place until i seen the transfer amount through money gram and or western union, which by the way was, 3,158 plus a 240.00 fee for the transfer to some p.O. Box address!
I took it to the bank and deposited it and told the cashier what the check was about and then i quickly had her return it and undo the deposit for her safety as well as my own financial instability was in jeopardy.
She explained this kind of thing is becoming more apparent and suggested I do more research to prove it was false or fraudulent, which thus looking on this site and other reports of course I find i did the right thing and did not allow the check to stay deposited.
