Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
Soliciting mystery shoppers for reasonable pay. I agreed to participate. Received large "Cashiers Check" (nearly $3,000) via USPS priority mail with instructions that did not flow – sounded very suspicious. Instructed to deposit funds, keep my commission, mystery shop spending around $100 of the funds and then MoneyGram the balance (2500) to 2 "receiving agents" – 2 different names but both at the same address.
I suspect this is money laundering – or more likely a scam of deposit a check that later does not clear – so the bank would deduct in its entirety from my account, but the scam artists would have received via MoneyGram $2500 that would end up coming out of my account.
I did not fall for the scam.
