I received an email for a secret shop on western union. This appeared to come from American Consumer Opinion panel..an online survey group that i have been a member of since 2007..and have received legitimate cash payments from. The email address was [email protected] ([email protected]) on behalf of American Consumer Opinion Panel
This email requested a secret shop on western union. I was mailed a check for 1220.00 drawn on Frost national Bank in Arlington Texas (which appeared legitimate). The instructions were to cash the check and wire 980.00 to Felicia Hanks at 5962 Ne 7th Avenue Miami FL 33136. After completing this task I was to keep 150.00 (90.00 was used to cover the wire fee) and email them my opinion of the ease of the transfer, appearance of the outlet etc and the MTCN. The person receiving the wire was then supposed to complete a secret shopper to evaluate the ease of receiving the money.
I cashed the check at my personal financial institution and completed the transfer as instructed on 3/22/2012. On 3/28/2012 the check was returned and my financial institution took 1220.00 out of my account causing an overdraft. I had to take money out of savings to rectify the problem
