I recieved a postal priority mail delivery with what appers to be a USPS money order in the amount of $975.00 from a supposed mystery shopper company with instructions to cash it at my bank against my account, deduct my fee ($150.00) and then send the rest on to another shopper. I thought this was very strange because I have not formalized any agreement with any mystery shopping company because I will not share my personal information online. So I was wondering first of all how did they get my personal information and secondly do they really think I am stupid enough to cash a money order check at my personal bank (and give them access to that info as well) and make myself liable for that check when it bounced. I did some online research and found what I thought I would. None of these companies are real. There have been others who have recieved the exact same letter that I did (word for word) and unfortunately they were taken in. I have not cashed the check and plan to turn it over to the FBI with all the other information that I HAVE. Don't be fooled. These companies are not real, and I know in these hard economis times we want so much to believe that these kind of things are real but they are not and people need to be extra wary.
