Type of a scam Employment
we received a email about a survey on walmart services, from Martha Burton, where we could get $150 for doing a 30 minute survey. After responding to the email we received a envelope with a check for $1465 to be used toward a secret shopper survey regarding walmart2walmart shipping. We got a follow up email describing how to participate. As the check amount was so high we looked into this and found others had received similar survey/check things like this and felt it was too good to be true.

I received a priority mail that contained a letter signed by Martha Burton, Senior Research Analyst and a check for $1940. It states the check was to help me do a survey about Walmart to Walmart transfer money. I called ScamPulse.com and they informed me it was a scam and to report it.

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
I received a check. After taking out my payment I was supposed to send the rest by Moneygram to an individual as a transaction that I was supposed to then evaluate. They sent me a check for $1860.00. I was supposed to take out $400; keep $350, use $50 to send the Moneygram. I was supposed to fill out a survey on how they carried out the transaction.
When I went to the bank I was told it was fraudulent and there would be no money for me or the Moneygram.
