National Financial Services LLC Bait and Switch Routine Potential

On 1/20/10 I received a letter posted as Postescanada.ca) & canadaPost.ca) with a Canada 98 stamp. On opening it I discovered it contained a check made out to me for $3,560.00 that was written on 1/14/10 plus an offer for a home business involving being a Secret Shopper at well known stores, gas stations, etc.

Upon accepting this offer which would be done by my depositing the check into my bank account, I was supposed to wait a couple of days and then withdraw $3,110.00 from my account and transfer $2,920.00 of it to the assigned receiving agent via a Western Union or Money Gram Store and use the remaining $190.00 to pay for the money transfer.

The $350.00 of the original check was to be my first week's pay for making a shopping evaluation of the service that I received at the store I selected.

Several receiving agents were listed with addresses in the United States, Canada, and London. But my assigned receiving agent was David Johnson who I was to call for further clarification, i.E. More information about where to send the funds and the offer was sent w/o a signature but the name Janet Reynolds, Director of Human Resources with a PO Box 7535 in Highlands Lake, NJ plus an e-mail address and fax #.

I did not respond to this obvious scam which showed an expiration date of 5 days after receiving. I will keep the material for a month in case anyone thinks it would help them. After that, I am going to shred it.

I am wondering how my name and address was obtained by this organization/person, but suspect that my recent registering of myself at a Canadian Supplement store on a supposedly secure page might have been the opening for them.
