Just received a check in the mail for $2,490.00 (no joke) and a letter saying I've been chosen to be a 'Mystery Shopper'. I'm to deposit the $2,490.00 check and do the following two days later...
Assignment: The letter says the pay for my first assignment is $250 and it will be done in two parts: 1) I'm to spend $50 at one of various retail outlets (gives a list to choose from) and evaluate their service, overall cleanliness, etc. For the second part, I'm supposed to evaluate Western Union or Money Gram Money Transfer systems by sending them $2000 plus estimated $190 fees. The objective was to evlauate the efficiency, effectiveness and policies of any of these sorts of systems.
Why does this seem like money laundering to me? Run money that is not theirs through a regular person's checking account and have them send it back to you?
By the way, there is already a company called My Organic Market located just a few doors down at 9827 Rhode Island Avenue, College Park, MD 20740.
