Got a letter in the mail with no return address and noticed it had two odd stamps from Spain. I open it and it says its an acceptance letter from Rapid-Profile Inc. To be a mystery shopper powered by best buy, ikea, western union and walmart. It included a almost legitimate looking check for almost 2k. It required i activate the check through theyre website with my job ID #and password, which they provided in the letter.
Lucky for me I was suspicious from the beginning and checked the address of the company. I found another scam report on the same scam but named Insula Corp at the same address. Unfortunately for the person who fell prey to Insula corp, they were asked to deposit the check and as soon as the funds were available she had to wire the money to a strange place as part of the assignments. Days later the check bounces and leaves them 2k poorer.
