I recieved a survey on 2/14/2012 with a cashiers check for $2400, and instructions for what I was to do. I called the number included(1-888-779-8670) and spoke with a woman who I'm sure used a fake name and she gave me instructions to send $1800 to two people. Then go to Wal-Mart,K-mart or Best Buy and purchase $150 worth of goods then complete the survey. I cashed the check at my bank with no problems. I sent $897 to Zhenglin Yang(fake name I'm sure) in New Market Ontario Canada. And $890 to Christopher Fernandez(Fake Name also I'm sure) in London Ontario Canada. Everything seemed to have been legit until I recieved a call from my bank on 2/23/2012 saying the account for the check was closed and that my account is now overdrawn $2400. I then called the number above back and when I asked why the account for the check was closed, I was disconnected. I then called again and got no answer. The address provided on the survey is 770 Broadway, New York, NY 10001-7604. The survey coordinator number given is 1-289-892-2620. The name on the bottom of the survey is Elaine Berkley. If anybody else recieves a similar survey don't make the same mistake I did.:(
