Postal Scam: I just received a letter in the mail offering me a job as a secret shopper for western union, normally I wouldn't have even thought twice about it and called it a scam but a check was legitimate was also included as the amount to be wired through the western union. Thankfully I did plenty of research before I even considered depositing it to my bank, turns out they are opening bank accounts to get real checks and then closing the account immediately after so that they bounce only after showing a balance in your account and they keep the money sent through western union while the money in your account is removed by the bank as the checks bounce. The name on the check is the same company information as in the letter through Wachovia Bank Charlotte, NC. The amount of the fraudulent check is $1,398.30 (check #0148952194) and the numbers on the bottom are as follows: ". 0148952194". /: 061209756/: 2079900091229. The information about the letter and check are as follows: Return address: PO Box 4056, station A, Toronto, ON M5W 1L8 Postage: Canadian lettermail stampted 1083201 Information on letter enclosed: Company name listed as Wal-Merchandise & Control, Inc. 111 Broadway, New York, NY 10006 Western Union Recipient: Frank Moffett in Atlanta Georgia Phone# Listed: 1-289-892-3839 Fax# Listed as 1-812-961-0126
