I got a text message saying I would be getting a mystery shopping package in the mail and to follow the directions in the envelope. I did receive the envelope that had directions to deposit the enclosed check immediately through the ATM for $2,344.00 USD assuring me that the funds would be available within 24 hours. I was then told to go ahead and do the 2 evaluations. I am then supposed to send balance of funds via western union money transfer services to another mystery shopper to carry out their assignment, this person is Andrea Carter in Istanbul, Turkey. After I was to do the "assignments" I was to get to keep $200 plus $50 for what I was to buy at walmart. The other money was for the "next Mystery shopper" and the western union fee. I was then supposed to send my "reports" and the tracking # for the money transfer to this Morgan Lauren at [email protected] I was expected to do this ASAP. The letter was signed Thank you, MORGAN LAUREN HEAD OF RECRUITMENT MS RECRUITMENT send text (661) 210-3424 FREE I also received several text messages from (424) 243-5135 and (323) 638-7482 1 of the messages said "Attn: (Personal Information Removed) ***.

([email protected]). I took the envelope, letter and the check to my bank where they decided to keep everything to investigate it. I had them make a copy of everything for me so I could make a report to the post office, western union, walmart, the bank the phony check was from and there is also a division of the FBI that you can send a report to about this kind of stuff so this is being investigated by many people right now. Thank goodness I was smart enough to realize it was a scam and didn't lose anything but there are people out there that will fall for this. For this reason I am telling my story in hopes of saving some innocent person the loss of so much money and have no way to get it back...PLEASE PLEASE BE CAREFUL ESPECIALLY THIS TIME OF YEAR...IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT MOST LIKELY IS
