I was such a fool. Thought I'm smart enough not to fall for these scams and yet I did. The broke and desperate college student in me wanted to believe in something to good to be true. It was not.
I received a letter in the mail with a check for 1986.50. I just had to call this number before depositing. Turned out to be a number linked to something called Fido Solutions in Canada. Should've looked here first. Anyways I just needed to leave enough money aside, about $1600, to wire via Western Union to a Toluana Christian in London, England.
The purpose was supposedly to judge how Western Union handled the transaction. Another 56.50 was meant for me to shop at and evaluate a store such as Rite-Aid. $350 of the check was to be my "salary" for being a mystery shopper.
Well today I learn the horrible truth. My bank charged back that 1986.50 so now I'm deep in the red on my account.
