I received a letter in the mail instructing me to deposit $2500 in my checking act and then send $1800 through western union and spend $250 at Best Buy or Walmart in order to do a retail survey, and keep $300 as a participant wage. After reading the letter I called the 888 number to get more info and the guy told me to deposit the check in my bank and after it cleared to call back and they would give me more information. I took the check which was drawn on The Huntington National Bank to my bank and had no problem depositing it in my savings acct. On Monday after calling and talking to a woman who gave me the name and instructions for the western union wire transfer I had no problem getting the money out of my savings acct. The teller that I talked to on Monday asked me "are you sure you don't want to leave any money in this acct?". I can see now that he could see that there was a problem, but he never came right out and said anything. So I got all the money and made the $1800 wire transfer and the $250 secret shopper at Walmart and completed the survey. And then the next day, May 15, the $2500 was backed out of my acct because the check was returned nsf. I've been looking for a job for so long, and am so desperate for money to pay my bills that I missed all the signs with this one.
