This is the second time this has happened to me. I recieved a check in the amount of $3770.00. It was attached with a letter from Shoppers Market Research and 3 evaluation forms.
I was instructed to keep $300.00, spend $100.00 at a list of locations, and send $3200.00 through western union. Since it was the second one i recieved and I tried to cash the first one I knew it was a scam.
The chesk seems to be perfectly ligitamite except for the fact that there is no phone number and the zip code is incorrect.
This is the worst thing to do to families in this tough economy. I have three small children and $300.00 would really help out. I hope these people are caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent.
The bank said the check would probably go through but I would be charged with check fraud. Seeing how I have a clean record I am not interested in making it dirty!!! Be careful with this scam!!!
Also at the top of the letter there is a magnifying glass over the word Shoppers Inc. Like a logo. Then under it says Take a that is all they didnt even scan the whole logo!!! What geniuses! LOL
