Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
I received a letter via Priority Mail envelope with a check for $3154.75. The letter had a letter head with the company name. It stated that it’s a paid survey packet asking me to go to two MoneyGram stores in my area after I’ve made a deposit and kept $300 of the money. They provided me with two names and receiver locations in which I would forward the remaining money. If it was done within 48hrs I would receive an additional $200 after completing the survey that I received via email.
Within 48hrs of receiving the envelope via mail to my home, I received a text message from the "Research Manager" requesting me to verify the money grams had been completed.
