Windsor Employment Agency
Mystery shopper job, company sends a fraudulent check for $3,950 and asks you to put in your account, shop, fill out evaluation

This agency sent me a check for $3,950 and a description of a job for which I would earn $300. I was to shop in any one of the stores listed for an item that costs $50 (which I could keep), report on the store environment, location and personel by filling out a questionair. Then, the thing that made me skeptical was that I was to go to a Western Union or Money Gram place and send $3,450 to one of several names of people with no street addresses and only a city and state (CA).

I searched on the internet for the company the check mast was on, Kimbell Operating Co., LLC, in Ft. Worth TX, and I searched for their phone number. I spoke to an accountant, and she was familiar with the scam—she said about 8 other complaints came to them, and that the checks were all for the same amount, printed on their original check and with a "real" signature. Of course, the check would never go through! Thank goodness I checked!
