I received a check today from Shoppers Impressions Inc for $4998.00 with instructions to call and get more instructions.
I was very hesitant to make a deposit of that amount not knowing if this was a legal thing or not. What got me was that I would have to wire transfer money by two different companies.
I called the "bank" phone number on the check and they first asked me for the check number (I worked at a bank, they don't do that, they ask for the account number first). So being a savy internet person, I looked up the bank printed on the check on the internet and found the real bank phone number where they told me the check was fradulent! They even have a posting on their website warning people about the company and the checks.
DO NOT deposit this check into your account you will get ripped off. Luckily I did some research before buying into it but many don't. It's a scam!!! Anytime a company wants you to wire money anywhere, it's probably a scam.
