I assuming that I am going to have a 24.00 fee from my bank when they discover that two money orders of 960.00 from the post office aren't good or real. This is my story. I received an email offering the opportunity to work as a mystery shopper agent. During almost a whole month I received different email with follow ups abouth the assigment that was going to be given to me. The first assigment consisted in evaluating a Western Union service and Walmart. They said that funds would it be available for me to complete the assigment. Finaly the day came. I received an email letting me know that a certified letter was sent out for my first assigment. They mentioned that I was supousse to be at home to received the assigment and that I only had 24hrs to complete it. When I arrived at home on Friday, August 26th around 4:30 there was a orange papaer posted on my door. Imagine, they said they will provide the funds for the assigment and that they would paid $200.00 to complete the assigment. I thought they would sent around $5.00 or so to do the assigment and evaluate the Western Union's service. When I went to the post office I got my packet and I went to my car very excited about it. I have been waiting so long for this job and earn some extra $. WOW! What a surprise, when I opened the envelope for my surprise, there were TWO POSTAL MONEY ORDERS OF $960.00. WHAT!"Why so much money", I thought. Well next step, I read the instructions. The money orders were left empty for me to fille them with the information they provided in the letter. Of course I did. Next, they said that I had to take the money orders to cash them with my bank institution. I did. When I went to the bank I asked the teller if there was any way that he could tell me if the money orders were good. You know I was amazed by the amount I couldn't beleive it. But the teller said they most be good because they were from the post office. Well since he said they were good I thought there were no reason not to have them cashed. Next step was to tkae $200.00 for me and sent $1,591.00 through Western Union and evaluate the service. When I was at the agency that provides Western Unuion iread in the first page of the western unuions form an advice or warning about the money transfer. It did alarm me at first because one of the questions aked you if you are sending this money regarding a phone call or email. I did knew that I was sending the money because of an email. But I went to the teller to sent the money. I thought, well this is not my money I have to send it. I didn't even thought that the money orders were feak. Well the teller asked me if I knew the person and why I was sending the money for. Then she gave me a papaer about landering money nd so on. That made me stop. I didn't send the money.instead I called the person who sent me the packet. I argued with him because he didn't explain me that they will aske me so many questions. He said that it was ok they have to ask but that it was ok for me to send the money. Then I asked him why he was sending so much money and he said because 6 people were part of the assigment and I was so lucky that the packet came to me first. He approach me to sent the money as soon as possible because the other person was waiting for it. I got so nervous thinking that maybe they were loundering this money and maube the FBI would be after me. At this point I was still thinking that the money orders were good. The person also lead me to a website for Mystery Shoppers Association were he claimed to be part of it. He insisted that he was a certified instructor for Mystery Shoppers. I went to the website and absolutely, they exist. BUT he isn't one of them. I felt for a moment that it was ok to send the money. So I talked to him one more time and told him that yeas i went to the website, that I saw it is real and that I was going to complete my assigment the next day. He said that he was going to call by 5:00 PM next day to get the Western Union number to received the money. Wow. Next day I took my son to his football game and I called the post office. I aked the post man if there is anyway a post office money order could be feak. He said, "OH YEAH!" and he explained to me that they are makeig fake ones. That I could take the money orders and they would tell me if they are good or not. Not to good, I cahsed them, I sadi. He sadi that then I should put the money in the bank because the bank will go against my account. I called the bank to see if I could revert the transsation. But it was too late. They made a copy of the money orders. I went to the bank got the copies and sat with a bank representative. She helped me to identify the money orders ahen we dicovered they were fakes. Wow, wow, wow. I was freezed. I was thinking that I was about to have a caos in my account, in my life, in everything. That would it ruin my life for a long while. I was so mad and at the same time very glad to know that God advsed me all the times. PLEASE, this is something very important this people are working hard to make money by ruin other peoples' life. I hope this can help others to stop, think and analyzed before you gets fooled.
