I received postage mail from R.M. Donovan, INTL. after I had been looking at prospective mystery shopping opportunities. Naturally I thought it was a scam or the result of my searching. The letter contained a check for $1976.88. It stated that if I wanted to participate I would need to deposit the check into my checking account and once the money cleared, to withdrawal all but 350.00 of the check for expenses. The 350.00 was compensation for completing the mystery shops. Being in a dire need for money, I quickly checked the internet for a scam flag (nothing came up) and decided to do the mystery shops. I deposited the money, which was available the next day for withdrawal. The shops consisted of sending two Western Union money transfers and one WALMART mystery shop. I completed these in the same day I withdrew the cash. About four days later I try to use my debit card and am declined, so I check my account. Almost 1600 dollars in the negative because the check bounced due to insufficient funds. Instantly I knew I was the result of a scam. The bank was very unforgiving and now I'm out almost 1600 bucks. Thanks R.M. Donovan, for catching me when my guard was down. Next time I'll remember, if it seems to good to be true, it probably is.

- I got the same letter. I have depoited into my bank and have been trying to see if its a scam. Wondering why its not easier to find out. I've been searching the web for days. If you withdrew the money, how did it come back NSF? I'm headed to my band today to find out how to resolve this. I have not done the shop or withdrew the money but I generated the assignment. I guess I just wait it out for the check to bounce? Any suggestions?

I would suggest talking to your bank immediately and explaining this is a fraudulent check because you might get hit with a returned check fee. Make you notify them to flag this business as a scam with the NSF

- Yes I have talked with my bank. They put a "hard hold" on the check and we're just waiting for the transacation to go through.
