I just received a scam in the mail today. Let me outline it in hopes no one falls for it.
It seems suspicious right away. The envelope was from Canada. The letter is from New York. The check is from Long Beach Calif. The contact number of the 'customer relations manager' appears to be in the UK.
Ok, so anyways, in this scam, I "have been selected to participate in a paid Consumer Research Program".
Enclosed is a check (#413293) for $2350.65. This check looks VERY convincing. Has DocuGard water marks on it and everything.
I am supposed to call their 'Research Associate' Brad Moore at 1 (Personal Info Removed) immediately for further instructions.
The tasks are to deposit the checks into your bank account, then go out and spend $xxx amount at Walmart and JC Penny, and then wire $1900 back to these scam artists via Western Union.
All names associated with this scam sent to me.
