Miscellaneous

I am a Mystery Shopper. So when I received a letter in the mail from this company with a check enclosed I read what the assignment was. I didn't believe it was a scam because I contract for over 15 companies and sometimes companies contact me directly, after reviewing my profile, to sign up with their company.
Anyway, I received this letter with a check for $1600.00. It stated that all I needed to do was deposit the check into my account, wait a few days for it to clear and then they gave me this breakdown of the assignment: I would be paid $100.00, I was to go to a Western Union to evaluate their services and wire $1350 to a specific person, then $92 was to cover the Service Fee charged by Western Union, then they allotted me $50 for going on a retail assignment at either Best Buy, Sears, JCPenney's or Macy's. Once the funds were available I was to call & get further instructions.
I deposited the check & waited a few days. Then I get a call from my bank saying they are closing all 3 of my accounts because of check fraud. Now I have no access to money in any of my accounts. The legitimate companies I work for will not be able to pay me & the 5 checks I wrote will be returned unpaid and I will not be able to write checks any longer!
