driveby Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Got a letter postmarked Canada yesteday which included a $3,300 check and instructions on how to become a mystery shopper. All I had to do was cash the bogus check and wire transfer all but $200 of the money to an address in Canada to test the customer service of the Western Union branch. They list their business address as a PO box in State College, PA but their area code is for Toronto. I can also work on a full or part time bases.

tazinib1 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 In tough times like these, you would be amazed at how many people would cash those things and actually just keep the money. That is, if its a bona-fide check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
