Shoppers Market Research
Sent check for $2,940.00 made out to my 11 year old daughter

We received a letter addressed to my 11 year old daughter claiming to be a response to her interest in part time work as a "mystery shopper". Offered $300 for training, $100 for purchases at a selected store (of which she could keep the merchandise) and all she had to do was send $2400 of the money to one of their agents listed in the letter, Valerie Peters, Long Island, NY or Carla Johnson, Bronx, NY using Western Union or Money Gram so they could "evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the payment system".

They promised to pay $400 per week for the first three months after this first assignment was completed and then would raise it to $800 after six months!
The package came complete with an acceptance form for you to fill out and an evaluation form for you to complete about the store where you shopped from. Very professional looking.

I called the number on the letter and let the foreign speaking man know that they sent a check to an 11 year old and wanted to know if this was something I could do instead. He seemed surprised and told me I needed to call back the next day to speak with someone who could help me.

Then I did some research online and discovered that this is a common ploy. They get you to deposit the check and send them the $2400 then the check bounces and you get stuck with it and they have your $2400!
