Says they are a Mystery Shopping company.
Sends you a check for $1990 drawn off of "Bank of America" and then after you cash it, it says to that your first "assignment" is to send back $889 then another $669 through Western Union to them in Athens, Greece. Although, the letter says the company is located at: 10255 W. Higgings Rd., Rosemont, IL 60018.
I have not had the check returned YET but I have let my bank know.
I have a VERY bad feeling this is fraud.

- I received the same letter and went right out to Google Maps to find the "office location" - same address as yours. Funny, it's a parking garage at O'Hare airport in Chicago. Me thinks this stinks!

- It is a scam. I deposited the money in my account and the funds were available immediately. I completed my assignments and faxed in the receipts yesterday. This morning, I wake up to see that my account is in the negative and the check has been charged back. I thought it was legit when my bank made the funds available but apparently centennial bank with let anything clear before checking to see if it is a good check first. Thanks centennial for looking out for your customers sarcastically of course. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID!!!

- Yes, It is a Scam a HUGE HOAX. Received a check for $1995.60, deposited on 2/11/13, told the teller I was very leary of the check, so she put an extra day delay on it, it cleared on the 13th, went to check today to get the money out and it already been debited out of my account on 2/14 and I had a nice $12 charge, because it was a BAD check. I am glad I did not get the money out, as soon as it had cleared. Called my bank, who they stated that it was a bad check, stated a fraudulent check and they are reimbursing my 12.00 fee....so glad I have a great bank....and NO, it is NOT Bank of America. If you get this check...BEWARE, it's a SCAM.
