I RECEIVED A CHECK FROM THEM AND WAS TOLD I WOULD BE A MYSTERY SHOPPER AFTER REPLYING TO AN AD. I GOT ON THE INTERNET AND SAW THEIR SIGHT AND THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD BE AWAY TO MAKE SOME EXTRA MONEY. I WAS TOLD BY THE BANK THAT THEY WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO GET THE MONEY FROM THE CHECK FOR 9 DAYS. SO I DECIDED TO GO TO THE CHASE BANK AND CASH THE CHECK. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FRAUDULENT CHECK. I AM SO GLAD THAT I DID NOT DEPOSIT THE CHECK IN MY OWN BANKING ACCOUNT SO THEY WOULD HAVE A WAY TO GET MY ACCOUNT NUMBER AND MAYBE DO SOMETHING LATER WITH MY ACCOUNT. THE SCAM IS JUST ONE MORE WAY THAT PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH CON JOBS AGAINST PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TRY TO MAKE A LIVING.

You are lucky, indeed. The way the scam works is like this: You deposit the check into your own account. Then you withdraw $XXXX to do the mystery shop.. Most likely a money order or Western Union "shop" that turns cash into a certified check. Guess who gets that check/money order? The Bad Guys. Now they have a check that is completely valid and you have what is "left over". However, since the check is fake, your bank bounces it back to you and expects the money back. So, you are scammed for the amount of the check AND the amount you just mailed/transfered (minus your "left overs", which you have probably already spent).
You were lucky that the other bank was looking out for you. -
