Thank God the teller at my bank knew about this scam!

These people contacted me via e-mail. They told me I would recieve a "package" thru UPS. I got the package, and was told to cash the check, ($1000) and take $100 off the top for my pay. Another $100 was to shop at Wal-mart, and fill out an accompanying Shopper's Survey. The rest was to be wired to an address in Texas, taking the fee out and sending the remainder.
I was then to come immediately home and e-mail them scanned copies of all my receipts, their completed survey and and copies of the Money Gram.

My son and I joked that it might be a money-laundering scheme, but then we thought that that wouldn't be a very profitable scheme. I mean, that's alot of work and expense to launder $1000.00, right? So, I got the check and straight to the bank I went. My teller looked at that check and immediately informed me that it was a scam. Thank God for her!

She confiscated the check and instruction letter, and told me that it was to be sent to the main branch for investigation. How close I was! And me living on $674 a month SSI - and two kids to boot! Anyhow, please beware!
