I received a letter in the mail letting me know about my first secret shopping assignment.in the letter was a $900 money order with directions to put my full name on the money order and to deposit/cash is at my bank. I was to keep $200 as my salary, use $20.00 to shop at wal-mart and get something that I needed. Then go to Western Union and send the remainder of the money to an Andrea Griffen in Miami Florida. After the visit to Wal-mart and Western Union I was to email a report back about my experience. It seemed fishy to me because it was sent in a normal envelope, the return address was for a Shawn Pickens in San Francisco, however the post mark is from Columbia, SC. Then I was supposed to send the rest of the money to a different person in Florida. So there are now three different states involved in this.
I decided to call MoneyGram and see about the money order, I put the money order number in and it said that the money order had been cashed on December 5th for $47.00. Also the security feature on the front of the money order didn't work.
I won't be cashing this money order it doesn't seem like it would be a good idea. I think I'll take it to my local police station. I don't know if they can do anything but would like to have it looked into.
