Victim Location 25801
Type of a scam Employment
Received e-mail survey for employment as a "mystery shopper." Completed the survey and then was sent e-mail that I was "hired." I replied back that I thought the whole thing was a scam and NOT to contact me any more or I would report them.
Priority package arrived in my physical mail box. Inside was a letter from a "Thomas G. Parry" instructing me to cash the $*** "cashier’s check" which was a Valley First Credit Union Check with an address of P.O. Box 1411, Modesto, CA, 95353-1411, but payable through First Interstate Bank, Billings, MT.
The letter wanted me to keep a $*** "salary" for Mystery Shopping Walmart twice. Once to buy something for $20.00 or less at a register then to use Walmart Money Transfer Services to send the remaining $*** to a "charity" in the care of Anthony Tobin, 614 North Britain Road, Irving, TX, 75061.
Once the above actions were completed I was to "report" what I did to the email addresses provided in the letter.
Not sure whether to shred this stuff of keep it for a law enforcement entity. Is mail fraud still a crime? Who do I report this to?
