Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

I had responded to an ad online about the possibility of receiving $300 per assignment to go to a specified location to report back on the customer service received or lack of it. I received a FEDEX package with a letter with information about the next steps to complete this assignment. In this same FEDEX package was also a check for $3856. Of this amount, I was to go to the nearest facility that offers MONEY GRAM service and send 2 drafts for $1700 each, to 2 separate addresses in Cyprus. An additional $100 is to be used for the service fee for these 2 drafts. Also, a draft for $50 to another individual. Anyhow, I would end up with $300 as a commision for my work. I went to my bank to deposit (although at the back of my mind, i had some suspicion about this check and informed the teller that I dont have a good feeling about this check and it is my first assignment and so this is the first check, she allowed $200 from this amount and had said that the balance would be available to me in 2 days. When I went to UFCU branch in Berrien Springs this afternoon, I was informed that this check was fraudulent. I was devastated, disappointed and angry at a person that would put my good reputation and integrity at risk. Thank you.

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

I was sent a letter saying I was selected as a secret shopper. I was to cash a cashier's check for $2,350, use $20 to shop, $300 for myself, and to send 2 wire transfers ($965 each) to Vincent Andrew and Jason Hamburg via MoneyGram who both are in Los Angeles, California, 90001. I was to use the "Money Available in Minutes" option. Once I completed these assignments I was to send my "survery reports" to [email protected] and [email protected]

The Cashier's Check received was a computer printed check, supposedly drawn from Woodforest National Bank. Routing Info: 47871 314972853 8001000820. Nowhere on here is an address that matches what was on the envelope, nor was there any contact back info to get in touch with the sender of the papers other than a return address.

I was contacted by email to participate in secret shopper. I already belong to similar group which is legitimate. I was asked for basic information. Shortly after, I received an email from another person about participating in a secret shopper event. I accepted expecting more information. I then received an email from the same person but different email telling me a check was sent to me as payment. I was then told to deposit the check, keep a portion for myself and deposit the rest in another secret shoppers bank account. When I questioned it, I received a few basic responses. I sent an email stating I wanted to be removed and would not accept the check. I was able to take pictures of the check and have the email correspondence.

At first I received emails that said a priority letter was sent to my address. Those messages continued for 2 weeks until I actually did get a priority letter from a John Mint. In the priority mail was an official looking "cashier check" drawn on a Bank of America account. I was to deposit it and call him the next day to get my supposedly secret shopper assignment.

I responded to his latest email that this was a fraud and was reporting it to the ScamPulse.com. It had all the trappings of a scam one of which I was not going to get caught up in.

I still have the "cashier check" if the ScamPulse.com would like it.

While looking online in the want ads, i signed up for this secret shopper. They emailed me as well as texted me. They sent a cashier check for me to deposit into my account and provide services at Walmart, Money Gram. Upon receiving the cashier check, they texted me and said once I receive the Priority Mail to text them and confirm receipt. So I did, and they wanted me to provide the services within 48 hours. I told them it would not be done because the banks were close. I will try after work (which is today 7/14/16). I called the Credit Union to confirm the Cashier Check which I was told it was a scam.

Someone contacted my Mother offering her a job as a secret shopper through her email. She signed up and received a flat rate envelope, priority mail, USPS. Containing a two page document with instructions and a check for $3725.00. The return address on the envelope is,

I went with My Mother to her bank where she tried to cash this check. The bank teller told her that the check was a fraud. Also explained that if she were to put the check through her account it would result in the account being frozen and then being investigated. My mother is on a fixed income that would have been devastating to her.

The credit union on the check is legit. I doubt the remitter Crystal Lambert is however.

I am sending a copy of the a check(the bank kept the real copy).

I also have the two page document containing instructions

Copies of the emails he has been sending plus text messages to her phone.

They don't know yet that we have found out the check is a fraud and are still making contact.

Thank you for your time
