Type of a scam Employment
I was looking online for employment, especially mystery shopper jobs. I was sent an email from this company offering a position. They asked me a few questions and then later I got a check for $2,000 delivered to me by Fed Ex. They told me to take it to the bank and then I would keep $400 but send the rest in 2 different transactions via Money Gram to someone else who was also doing secret shoppings. It sounded strange but I went ahead and tried to cash the check at the bank. The bank would not cash it saying it was a fake check. Now the business is threatening me saying if I don’t cash the check and send the money I will be arrested for theft.
