I got a letter from a "Dorme Research Inc" requesting that I will be a secret shopper. They mailed a check in the amount of $2,760.00 to cover my pay, moneygram evaluation, the service charge and fees for shopping. If I would deposit the check, once my bank cleared it and I moneygramed money to them a week later their check would bounce and I would have to repay back my bank! Usually, the scammers will claim that you have to use the money from the first check to pay "fees" and "taxes" before you get the big payout.
Remember, ANYONE can print a check, that doesn't mean that the account is real or the money is there!
Here is an email from them that they sent me after I've got the check:
Good Morning,
