RE: Acceptance Letter (Secret Shopper)
This is to inform you that you are hired to participate in our paid "Mystery Shoppers program, we became aware of your interest from the previous online survey you enter through our afflilate Consumer Survey Specialists were you indicated your interests.. yada yada Several things, the letter came from Spain, 2, large check inside when I've never spoken to anyone, they just mail me money? 3. Can't write properly. 4. Looked up business, does exist, bank exist, ADDRESS on the check for the business, BOGUS. Called phone numbers, no answer or vox mail not set up yet. This is the SECOND time this has been done to me.
The scammers send you a big check, want you to deposit it, keep some of the money, wire them a large amount. Now, since its a bad check, they are getting your money IF You have it to begin with . They are always wanting you to use Western Union or some other wire source. Be careful folks, with the unemployment at an all time high, Jackholes are just WAITING to pounce on desperate, honest people looking for honest work. If you DO try to cash these checks on a maybe, you can/will be arrested for fraud, even if you didn't know, unless you have a kind bank teller that catches it for you and you really don't know its fraudulent.
Another company doing this is 'Atlantic Software" at least that's what they are going by.
