I had been looking for a work from home job and heard about Mystery Shoppers and how easy it was to make some money doing online shopping. I applied and received an approval email and my first assignment. The assignment sounded bogus and therefore, I emailed back that I was not interested in the assignment.
Two days later, I get home to find an overnight envelope with two (2) money orders for $950.00 with my name handwritten, drawn on Western National Bank, etc. The person who signed the checks was "Felicia Fucsom" as Purchaser Signer for Drawer.
I looked at the UPS Envelope which had a Myrtle Beach, SC and the Boston, MA address, and was confused. The assignment instructed that I take the checks to a bank, preferrably my bank, cash them at the teller and send a western union back to them. I was to email "Tim Daniels" back and tell him I had received the checks and await further instructions.
What I did was deposit the checks into my account and waited for them to clear. The checks did not clear, and I have been charged fees.
