Rec'd a cashier's check in the amount of $4,250.00 to become a investigative shopper.Was told to deposit the check and call the next day for training. Was told to go to withdraw $3,700 from the bank and go to Walmart and purchase 3 purchases from 3 different departments totaling under $100.00 and get a receipt. Go back to Walmart the next day and return one item. Make sure to rate the cashier and the store. Then go to Food Lion and wire $1,660 to London sending to a fake name. At the next store wire $1,620 to a different fake name. Go back the next day request for the money to be turned. It just didn't feel right. The stores both stated the money would have to be returned by Western Union.

I have just experienced the same thing yesterday. I actually deposited the check on Wednesday to my account and it cleared yesterday morning. I called the number and they had me do the same thing. Buy three things at Walmart then go to Stop and Shop and then a small convenience store and do Western Union transfers to two different names that I chose to United Kingdom, London for $1650 and $1680. The man told me to call back this morning and he would give me the Refund # and I would go back to the stores and request a refund. He told me that this was to check that the agents were not keeping the service fee that had been charged and that there were complaints.
I sure hope something does not come back with a charge to my checking account because the check was bogus. I would think that the bank would not have cleared the check if there was a problem. So now I am wondering what the heck is the scam here....it is very weird. -

- I just received this in the mail today. They have a new number to call it's 1-347-4399. The toll free number listed is 1-888-331-7772. They must roll their numbers weekly. Try one of those number to get a hold of these scammers.
