Type of a scam Employment

A check for $2,500 was enclosed with a detailed letter directing me to deposit the check into account. I could keep $400 but use $2000 to purchase 2 blank money orders for $1000 each from Walmart using my debit card or credit card.

The premise is that I am to evaluate Walmart and make sure that are polite, do their job correctly, the store looks clean and the workers are acting professional, etc. I was to make a detailed report in return for my $400.

Of course all this needs to be done within 48 hours and you have to email or call the person on this letter to get the address where to mail the blank money orders.

Nobody’s bank processes a $2500 check that quickly. If anyone were to do this, the check would bounce, you would be stuck with the fees, you would end up with NO money and you would be paying $2000 for 2 blank money orders you have sent to some stranger if you have followed through with the instructions.
