Scam-mystery shopping -do not deposit the fraudulent check it will put you debt for that amount

I received a check for $3,885.72 for a so called Mystery Shopping job. The check was drawn under a bank in Dallas, TX.

I called the phone number located in the letter to tell them I was interested in the job. Ms. Nathalie Westhall was the person I spoke with (could be a ficticious name). She explained my first assignment and then proceeded to tell me that I should go to my ATM and deposit the check.

I told her that I would be in Dallas and that I would cash the check at the bank that it was drawn under and then put the cash in my account. Natahlie became flustered and did not know how to react. So she asked me to hold then hung up.

I tried calling back and dialed her extension and it went straight to voicemail.

Then I called the bank and told them I received a check and they knew right away, what I was talking about, and explained to me that it was fraudulent and that I should turn it into my local police department.

I will be handing in this check today.
