I was interested in mystery shopping. I have worked retail and have been "shopped" so I know this can be a legitimate source of income. On 2/22 I received an envelope postmarked Canada. Letter said Re: acceptance letter (secret shopper)... A check for $1995.50..instructions to call account mgr Melissa Stewart or Robert Newman at 1 647 919 1407 to activate check before depositing in my account. Then I was to shop a western union and send $1460 to Spain. Songkanh Sandler at the Int'l processing center... When I completed that call manager immediately... I did that exactly and it was difficult to even find someone in my area to do that it took me two days to find a place. I did exactly as instructed. When I called Robert put me on hold for about 10 minutes as I could hear him trying to call someone else... I finished my conversation and went to Macy my 2nd shop. Called when I was finished... Didn't like the response from Melissa and questioned her as my gut told me something wasn't right. I asked if the check was good and she said I will call you back in an hour. Three hours later I called her again..in the meanwhile I got on line and realized that this could be a scam and called western union and was told that the money was picked up an hour after I sent it..in the meanwhile. The check did not clear the bank... The $1600 that I took out of my account was gone. I am still in the process with TCF and they are not helping me... I need my moneyl. I lossed my job. I also had other payments being paid out of my account. That have not been honored because I was scammed and these companies want money from me and I have no way to take care of this. Please, please someone help me.
