$$$$$$$$MYSTERY SHOPPER?????

Ok, This is a warning and alert to anyone out there. We received a letter in the mail last week regarding Gary becoming a mystery shopper. At first the letter looked good, as he remembered that he had applied for a position a year or so ago. We soon realized after doing a search on the internet, that in fact the letter (which included a large check for over $3000) was a SCAM!!! WOW!!! They used an actual local company name/address. When we went to the bank that the check was issued from we found out that it was drawn from an actual bank account that was of course overdrawn.

Here is how it works: They send you a check for a large amount of money with instructions to deposit it in your account. They also let you know that you can earn $500 a week as a mystery shopper working for them. They let you keep a few hundred dollars for your work as doing mystery shopping for them at a particular store. $300 for you, $200 spent at the store and $170 for the cost of the wiring of the rest of the money they want you to send back to them via Western Union(cash). You find out later after you have sent the cash back that in fact the check you deposited in your bank account has now bounced. You are then out all the cash money you sent and then some!!!
