Mystery Shoppe
Consumer Report

My mother who is in her 70's and is retired and a widow, responded to an email about becoming a mystery shopper and was sent a letter telling her to take the $900 money order to her bank and cash it then to go to a Western Union outlet and pay close attention to the service she receives and the condition of the store and get another money order for $8?? And mail it to a person and address that was included in the letter. The money order they sent to her, they said, would cover the cost of the money order they wanted her to mail and the remaining amount would be for hers to keep. Once she did this she was to notify them by email that she did it and they sent her three $900 money orders the next time. When she took the first money order to her bank, the bank said she could not cash it but she could deposit it into her checking account and would have to wait 24 hours before withdrawing it. When she tried to withdraw the money the next day, her bank told her that she as overdrawn in her account by $900 because the money order was a fake. She immediately emailed the people about what had happened and requested a refund and they criticized her for taking the money order to a bank, that they wanted her to go to a check cashing store. Yet in their letter they sent to her with the money order it said to take it to her bank and cash it. My mother feels like she's so stupid for falling for something like this and is just taking it really hard. She turned in a copy of everything to the bank and they said they would report it to their fraud department. I have told her to keep everything including the three latest money orders they have sent to her. I wish the FBI would get involved in things like this to protect the public.
