I'm in Dunkin Donuts counting out extra change to get a coffee and I get back in the car and my Fiance says, "Honey, you got a check for almost $3,000." After going back and forth about this "check, " my fiance said, if it's too good to be true... It's probably not true. We decided to come home and do some reserach online and of course we were bombarded with articles about this scam.
A week or so ago, I called an 800 number to answer an add for a Customer Service position and the woman took my name and address and said she would be mailing a packet. Even after that phone call, I found it weird that the whole conversation was just getting my name and number. To be honest, I forgot all about it until tonight.
The letter states that I was chosen to be a Customer Service Evaluator. Seriously, PEOPLE, don't do it. I know it is tempting to cash a check. But it's against the law... It says to money gram $2,585 to my "relative" in Bristol, New Brunswick, Canada. It would cost $ 105 and to keep the other $200.
This company has some real nerve. When I called the number it said the mailbox was full... I am sure this is someone that has tried this and they may be able to cash the check somehow... But it's not a real check. It is FRAUD and you could have charges brought against you... Not worth it.
Trust me, I was tempted considering the economy right now, but my freedom and my morals mean too much to me.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND NO COMPANY WILL PREPAY YOU FOR ANYTHING. We are not talking about prepaying to fill our gas tanks people. THINK ABOUT what are you doing... Think before you ACT!!!
