I was a legitimate mystery shopper about 25 years ago and replied to an email in Dec 2017 asking me to be a mystery shopper. I sent my name and phone number (they obviously already had my email). Almost immediately received a follow-up email saying that I had been selected as mystery shopper for Walmart and Moneygram and that I needed to send the address of the locations where I could shop along with my mailing address so that they could send me a check to cover my shooping assignment. Having done this with a legitimate company in the past, I was very skeptical and did not respond, hoping it would just drop. Then about 4 days later a Priority mail envelope arrived at my house with a one page letter (not on letterhead) with a cashiers check for $2485.00. Since I only use a PO box and not my street address, I was now very skeptical and began searching for anything related to a scam. BBB.com did an excellent job of describing how the fake check scam works and the letter I received was nearly identical to the scam description. Additonal information that may be helpful if this case is reviewed:

Cashier's check says "Remitter: Raymond Meyers" check is from Associated Bank. Check is dated 12/28/17

Instructions in letter state I am to deposit check in my account and keep $200 as commission.

Go to Walmart and use WALMART2WALMART 10 minute transfer to send $1500 to Kenedy Jones (yes, spelled with one 'n' in Kenedy) in Garland, TX 75040. Walmart transfer fee will be $20.

Then also purchase a $50 iTune gift card from Walmart.

Finally I am to go to a Moneygram store, it specifically says not associated with a CVS store, and use the 10 minute service to send $700 to Chris Coleman in Kingwood, TX 77339. The Moneygram fee will be $15.

Then immediately text details of both transactions to 2 numbers ###-###-#### and ###-###-####.

A survey report for the quality of the services is to be sent to shadreckm77@gmail.com and svy.report.mspa@gmail.com. I am also to include the receipt numbers in the report.

If i am able to complete the assignment in less than 24 hours i will receive a bonus of $100 when they send the check for my second assignment.

The letter is undersigned by Elizabeth Byers (not signed, just typed out) and the task coordinator number is provided indicating 24 hour text, the number is ###-###-####.

I did not proceed with any of the actions due to the information I was able to get from BBB.com.
