Complaint 25083 Details

Of course in this economic time, I feel for a scam. I received a letter in the mail to become a secret shopper, where a check was issued to my house for $1, 467.00. I called the number that was provided to me, spoke to a "representative" that instruced me on what to do, and hung up the phone. Because I thought it was a scam, I googled the company and found it to be "ligit" for the most part (i.e., the company was a real company). The following day, I deposited the check like an idiot, and waited another day for the check to actually clear (and my mind frame was, "if the bank doesn't add up, then the check will not be cleared to deposit the monies into my account, therefore no harm no foul...but the check cleared and then money was deposited). I then proceeded in good faith with their instructions, and money was still in the bank. Low and behold, the check was returned, and ALL of my money is gone (including the money from the issued check).
