WARNING! MYSTERY SHOPPER PLC letters are a SCAM!

I just got a check in the mail for $4,270. It was a company who wanted me to do some Mystery Shopping for them. Then another part asks you to test Western Union or Money Gram. The money is to be sent to a random person somewhere in the country. It seemed extremely fishy so I did a search and came across this SITE.

After reading that, and looking at the check closely, I can see some horrible Photoshop work on the check, to the point I can see VOID written over it numerous times.

If you do get one of these checks, DO NOT CASH IT!

After you wire the money to "test" Western Union, then check will bounce and the bank will come after you for the money.

Be VERY Careful out there!

Things like this tick me off. Most are blatantly obvious, but some are getting so good it's scary. It's getting harder and harder to sell electronics on eBay because of all the Nigerian scammers.
