I received in the mail a letter with a check enclosed. The letter stated that I was selected to participate in a paid consumer research program. The check (4,200$) was to cover what I was to get paid (400.00$) as well as the money needed to complete the assignment. The first thing I had to do was deposit the check in my account and wire them the designated amount from it. The plan is to get you to send them a lump sum of money and then when the check bounces you're stuck paying back the bank.
The check looks real in fact it is real but you will have to pay for it in the end. I went to the bank and we researched the check... It is bogus. Someone got ahold of their info. I called the company and told them i knew it was a scam and they told me not to waste their time and to F*K off. I repeatly called them and they are very rude. Can't the 1-888-832-1147# be traced?
They asked me to send them a money gram to

I did forward everything to the FBI, and the attorney generals office of Oklahoma.
