I offered to do survey work from a craigslist ad for parttime work. I entered my name and address. Nothing else. Before I knew it, I received a check for $3600 via FedEx with instructions to keep $500 for my efforts and forward the remaining amount (minus transaction charges) to a designated party via a MoneyGram location. This immediately sounded bogus to me. I called my bank and was told of this website and all the fraudulent activity similar to my situation. So, beware of large unsolicited checks that will never clear the bank. Once cashed, you are the one in debt.
