I responded accordingly, before I did any research on the company, which was my own mistake.
Second email:
"Dear applicant, YOUR FIRST TASK explained
Kmart and USPS Inc. Wants you to run surveys on a few prominent USPS/Kmart locations in your area.
Your Evaluation at the USPS/Kmart/Riteaid location would be:
1) To send funds with USPS service to another evaluation agent or use Western Union sending services
(we will provide you with the needed funds; you will never use your own money).
2) You will have to record the time you spend sending the transfer.
3) You will also provide the name of the cashier that attended to you.
4) Make a detailed report about your personal impressions as an average customer.
To complete the surveys, we will send you the money to cover your $250 commission for your first task and another $50 to be used for your transportation and transfer charges.
Upon receiving the funds which is in form of a check, the exact instructions of the survey will be forwarded to you and the report is to be ready same day you receive the funds.
These two companies were reported for evaluation for the following reasons:
1) Customers have reported their money missing.
2) Slow services.
3) Unbalanced transfer charges.
4) Rudeness to customers.
5) Late opening time and Closing before time.
You must deposit the check at your bank, same day you receive it, then withdraw from bank and use the amounts we specify to COMPLETE THE TASK.
After task is completed, deduct your commission, same day
&You have a bank account, yes? &
You will have to keep a comprehensive report on every activity you carry out and send it by mail to our office.

I had received a similar type of response from a different 'company' and discovered that these types of offers are generally scams.
