Business & Finance

I had signed-up on the internet as a secret shopper. As a secret shopper you evaluate businesses by shopping there and then filling out a report.

I was sent a large check, $1995.00, and when I called the number in the letter for instructions, Mr. Martin Williams told me to deposit the check into my bank account, wait 2 days, then proceed with my assignment.

I was to go to Wal Mart and spend $50.00. Go to Burger King and spend $20.00. All merchandise I would keep, but I had to send the receipts to them with the evaluation form.

Then I was to send $1560.00 via Western Union to one of the addresses listed. He would tell me which one: Brenda Florence (Schedule/Evaluation Manager) HEAD OFFICE-USA, 100 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10001 or Angelina Wilson (Human Resources Manager) REGIONAL OFFICE-. 30 Pears Dr. Markham ON T2H3V3 CANADA.

The bank informed me 5 days later the check was a fraud, and now I have fees incurred at the bank, plus they also closed my account.
