Watch Out Scam
I received a cashier's check written out to me for nearly $5,000. The check looks so real . . . but I knew right away that it had to be a scam. First off who would send a cashiers check without warning in an envelope without a return address????
It came from Shoppers Input Inc. [sic] and requires me to call a number for detailed instructions on how to handle the money. It is suppose to be a mystery shopper job opportunity. I am suppose to use the $$$$ at the following stores.
Wal-Mart -- $50
GAP -- $40
Western Union transfer (to Shoppers Input Inc.) -- $1,579
Western Union service charge -- $99
MoneyGram transfer (to Shoppers Input Inc.) -- $2,873
MoneyGram service charge -- $57
Yeah right the Western Union transfer (to Shoppers Input Inc.) -- $1,579 and MoneyGram transfer (to Shoppers Input Inc.) -- $2,873 are dead giveaways!
The check look soooooo real I am tempted to deposit it to my account and see how long it takes the bank to realize it is a fake.
