I was given a mystery shopper position and sent a money order in the mail. I was told to go to my bank and cash the money order, deduct $200 for myself and use $10 to purchase anything in order to evaluate a local grocer then wire the remainder of the funds by western union to the next mystery shopper in Seatle Washington and report western union's service as well. After thinking about it for a few hours I went online to investigate if a money order could be fake. I got to thinking what if that check bounced, would I be responsible? After researching, I have found that yes, if the check bounces it will be on me to reimburse the bank. I am about 90% sure I have been scammed.
