I thought I was signing up for a secret shoppers job. A man by the nsme of Dennis Grover contact me via email stating that he was sorry to be getting back in contact with me so late. The very next day I received a cashier check for $1,680. I wasn't smart enough to realized this was a scam. I emailed him back and ask him was this legal. He emailed me with a picture attached to his emailed. I researched the company. I really thoght this was legit, so I deposit the first check. My bank put a hold it, Once the bank cleared the check, I retrieve the funds and did my first job, which was at a western union. I wired the funds to a Felix Turner 2915 Brannen RD,SE Atlanta, GA. The second check same person, but this time I was to do a survey on Money Gram and to compare the two. He sent me two more check which I did not deposit after my bank told me tbat the first check came back. We are now waiting for the second check to return. All this happen within a two week period, starting Jan 2nd. Now I sm in the hold with my bank.

I am so embarrassed that I did not see this coming. I was laid off from work in October and was just looking for something to help pay my bills until another job came through.

Wow. two of the oldest internet scams smashed together as one. I have to admit it's cunning to hide the fake money order scam with 'secret shopper' one. I don't understand how the FBI isn't investigating this -- someone in the U.S. is creating money orders that are real enough to fake a bank, at least for a few days. Did the money orders have watermarks on them or are they just printouts?
In any case, please everyone on the internet -- DO NOT BELIEVE A MONEY ORDER IS REAL UNTIL THE BANK HAS FULLY CLEARED IT. A bank can give you cash but then go after you one the money order comes back as fake. This is the most common type of internet scam, it happens with Nigerian scammers as well as Craigslist domestic scammers. Most of all, Google the information of anybody offering you this kind of deal -- it will always come up with a page of 'scam' entries.
Good luck, suckers! -
