Mark Armstrong Transferring Funds Isn't Shopping!

Miscellaneous

I applied for a job as a mystery shopper. I received an advance check for $1942.00 The envelope postmark is from Canada. The company address is New York, NY

The letter explaining what was expected of me said to call to activate the check, I only got a voicemail box so I called the bank on the check and verified the bank routing number and bank account number. The bank said that those numbers were good.

I then tried to call to activate the check and spoke with who I was told to and he said that I had to deposit the check and follow instructions as outlined in the letter. He activated the check.

I had no experience with the company and have heard of scams so I took the check to the local banks and they will not deposit it.

The instructions I had recieved were to keep $350.00 for my pay, then transfer $1396.00 via Western Union, I was told that I was to evaluate their service and fax a evaluation report to them. Then I was to choose a store from a list they sent, as my 2nd assignment and go to the store and spend up to $70.00 and keep what I purchase. Then send them an evaluation report.

I went to a phone number look up website and the number I had be given for this company on a official looking letterhead was for a cellphone in Canada.
