With the 'letter/instructions and check, I called the number and a Hispanic voice (woman) answered and at first scolded me for being 'so late' (since the letter was mailed) and asked me to go and deposit the check into an ATM ('Since they process the checks faster' - translated - takes longer for your bank to find out that is it a bad check; then call her back and she will give me the name of the other 'Mystery Shopper' who I am to send a $ 3157 Western Union or Moneygram to.
Of course the next thing was to shop at Walmart, K-Mart or Best Buy and buy $ 100 of stuff and fax them the receipt and fill out the store questions; then go and do the money transfer since they are trying to test these agencies since 9/11 to make sure that they are friendly etc.
Of interesting note, the plain envelope which this came in was mailed from Canada - St Laurent Quebec - probably to avoid USPS mail fraud charges... BAD bad fraud - you do the work and before you know it YOU are out the $ 3997 from YOUR account.
