I was sent a Cashier’s Check (without warning) for $2,950.52 from Natlite Grp. At first I thought it was legit because I have done Secret Shopping before. What got my attention was the fact that the check was from a credit union in Universal City, TX, which I was to deposit in my account. First of all, I was to deduct $450 for my payment. My assignment was to buy 5 Nike gift card @ $500 ea. After purchasing the cards I was to open the and peel the silver scratch -off area on the card and capture the image of the card front and back. I was to complete a series of questions and email the answers to them along with the image of the gift card.

In any situation, concerning upfront money try contacting the bank or credit union. This one didn’t work on me. Be ware!
