Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
A friend gave me a link to what seemed to be a work opportunity. It involved secretly shopping at Walmart and afterwards completing a survey. The pay was about $400 for 15-20 minutes of work. Sounded fishy but it peaked my curiosity. I applied for the "position" online. Then was contacted via text message asking if I was interested and telling me my package and assignment was coming in the mail. I received a check for $3450.52 along with instructions to go to Walmart, purchase gift cards, take pictures of the backs of the gift cards etc. etc. It also said that completing the assignment, including depositing the check, within 12-24 hours would earn me an extra $150.
