Consumer Report

About a month ago i filled out an application on line to be a secret shopper. On 02/15 I recieved a check for $1300.00 for 2 surveys i was to do. One for Western Union and one for Walmart and a questionaire i was to fill out with instructions. I had to deposit the check in my account wait for it to clear. I then was to go to a Western Union location and make a wire transfer of $675.00 to "a computer generated Receiver Name as well as a Destination City and country" which was given to me by one of the"representatives" of the company. They alloted $75 for the wire transfer. At the end of the transaction i was to evaluate the customer service of the attendant and fill out the Western Union part of the questionaire. Then i was to take $250 and go to K-mart, Wal-Mart, or Best Buy. Purchase $250 worth of merchandise which as a "Perk" I got to keep and evaluate the staffs customer service and fill out the questionaire. Which i did. I had 48hrs upon completion of the survey to Fax all the reciepts and the questionaire to the number provided by the "Represenetive". Which i did. Now today 02/22 i go online to check my account because i'm expecting my income tax money and the automated system tells me i have a overdraft fee of $1335.00. (1300 for the check and 35 bucks is the cost of the overdraft fee) So i get through to a live rep from the bank and im told that that $1300 check was a fake check...
