Type of a scam Employment

I received an email informing me that I could earn $350.00 by being a secret shopper. I said yes but did not hear anything else from them. I received a check and letter via Priority Mail giving me instructions regarding what I should do. I was told to deposit the check into my bank and cash the check for $2,450.00 and go to two different Wal-Mart stores and buy Wal-Mart gift cards. One store four (4) cards totaling $300.00 each and at the other store three (3) cards for $300.00 each. I called the number on the letter to inquire if it was okay to cash the check at Bank of America since the "Cashier’s Check" was from them. I was immediately told "NO", I had to cash it at my bank and wait 24 hours to withdraw the money. When I asked why, he said "this is how it has to be done." I was suspicious because of the bank and also when the person who answered the phone, no identification was given, ie. company name. After taking a closer look at the check, the signature is stamped Jeff DeBree.
