Complaint 25092 Details

I received a letter in the mail in regard to becoming a secret shopper September 24, 2011, but did not discover it until maybe October 3, 2011. I was interested, and decided to call the number that was provided (just to check it out), and spoke with a "representative" that provided me instructions, and hung up the phone with her. I later decided to google the company, and found it to be "ligit" (i.e., the company was real). I was going to google the bank that the check was issued from, but decided that because the company was real, the offer must be. The following day, I deposited the check (because in my mind, if the bank was not real, then the money would not be deposited, and there would have been no harm done...the check went through, and the money was deposited). I continued on with the instructions on where to go, and mailed out the survey. I went on about my days (which there were only 2 of), and descoverd at the end of the second day that the check had been returned, and that ALL of my money was deleted from my account. If I were to have never deposited that check, I would have approximately $76.10 in the bank, instead of ($1390.90). My only fault is being a despirate single mother on a mission to provide a small lifestyle for my young son. I do not know what to do, and I DO NOT desire going to jail for participating in a scam!!!
