Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
I was contact by email from a Mystery Shopper Company, stating that I got the job as a mystery shopper and that they will pay me $300 for my first assignment. They already had my name, address, email, and phone number. I said I was interested and they confirmed and said that they would send me all the details by mail. I received another email about what to do with the check they were sending me. I then knew it was a scam. Today when I checked the mail I opened a envelope that had a check for $1925.00 (Check information: *** *** *** ** *** *** ** *** *** *** ** ***) along with two pages of instructions telling me to go deposit the right away and take my $300 and half the rest of it, then go to two different money wiring companies and half of the money to two people *** *** in Chicago IL 60666 and to *** *** Chicago, IL 60666. I have forwarded both emails to the [email protected] which is what the Federal Trade Commission had on their site to do. I have printouts of both emails, I have the check that was sent to me, along with the two pages of instructions on what to do with the money.
