SCAM

6th of Jul, 2011 by Cherish007

I also have received a letter to make money as a mystery shopper for walmart and wesern union. Automatically I knew something was not right when I was asked to cash a check that was non existant at my back then to send money to china. I went to Ask.com and asked if the location in China was a real location and thankfully an artical came up similar to my situation and I was sure that this IS a SCAM! The following is one of the many emails I have received from this scammer:
