MiNTEL

I once visited this site (mintel)with my information thinking it was a genuine website because I was scouting for additional incomes to keep up family.
Just yesterday 10-13-2022 around 9pm, only to open my mail box and saw a USPS priority mail envelope containing a letter and a cheque of $2,000. In the letter I was instructed by one "LISA MORELAND" to carry out a survey with $1,500 out of the $2,000 while keeping $500 as my Commission, Logistics and Card Fee.
So I got the cheque deposited into my account that night(yesterday), then this monrning(10-14-2022) I got a text message from a number "+1 816 919 5704", asking if I got a cheque with so so information. I replied "yes"...with immediate response, they asked if have I deposited it, that if it's cleared, I should let them know.
This is where I started getting it right.
1. Their response was too fast like am automated reply, it simply shows that, they are on the system 24/7 waiting for response to all their scattered cheques.
2. They were to anxious to know if the cheque has been cleared...another eye opener to me.
3. Their email bears [email protected] ( this can not be associated with such a big marketing company they claimed to be, I was expected something in the nature of [email protected] or similar lol., not a personal email that carries number "22"...cheap fraudsters.

At this time, I didn't reply them again, they sent another message, asking if I have carried on the assignment as instructed?
I told them ipthat it would be on Monday, that I just got off my 1st job and heading to my 2nd job. Then they replied "Okay"

So when I came home, I started researching about the name/ company (MiNTEL)...only to find out that the company actually performs similar act, but been cloned for fraudulent acts.
Now I am left with the $2,000 cheque deposited in my account and I don't know what to do with it.
Please who knows how best to deal with such situation,..though I have planned going to the bank to meet with the legal team to tell me the best thing to do.

Attached is the copy of the letter, the Cheque and the USPS priority mail envelope.

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

This scam was originally advertised as a secret shopper. You sign up with basic information about yourself. I figured it was legitimate and my be fun to try. Several days later I received an email with instructions. I didn't respond to the initial email as the wording seemed suspicious. I received a $3000.00 check in the mail one week later with a letter attached asking me to buy anything from the store as well as two $500.00 gift cards. The check was recieved in an envelope with a Las Vegas address. The information on the check was from Tenture and Company and was drafted on a Suntrust bank check. They asked that you take a picture of the gift cards (front and back) and text the information to Lisa Moreland. I sent email asking specific questions about the check. I have attached a portion of the response. I guess the rest was too large to attach to this report.

Text you for a mystery shopper job. They keep texting you and tell you you will get a check in a few days. Deposit the check in your bank account and wait till it clear. Then wire money to whoever they tell you to send it too

I received a letter and a check in the amount of $2,350.00 (two thousand three hundred &fifty dollars) the letter said to first text phone number's #904-299-2607 and #206-691-8138 the term ASSIGNMENT RECEIVED then deposit the check and text same number's FUNDS DEPOSITED and keep a deposit receipt then continue the steps that are on the letter & hou only have a total of 72 hours to complete all of it.. $320 dollars of that check will be my wages and the rest will be for a shopping list and a Walmart to Walmart money transfer.. I already took the check to my bank and deposited it in to my account but im not sure if it has cleared (probably not) and when I got home and texted the term FUNDS DEPOSITED I looked up the number 904-299-2607 on Google & it brought up a scam for Mintel and here I am writing this review. I can take pictures of the letter and send it in to ScamPulse.com and possibly get the check back from my bank and send it to ScamPulse.com as well. This really sucks and hopefully I don't lose money out of this deal. probably going to loose $10 dollars for sure for the check bouncing but hopefully no more then that..

Type of a scam Employment

Today on August 10, 2017, I checked my mail and there was a Priority Mail envelope addressed to me. Once I opened the envelope there was a simple looking letter with instructions stating that I had a assignment as a Survey Analyst/Store Evaluator at Walmart and a bogus looking check in the amount of $2,350.00. In the letter it began to tell you about how to deposit the check into your bank account along with 3 different steps. I immediately got on the ScamPulse.com website to investigate and I came across a scam by these people. So if anyone receives a Cashier's Check from ESB Financial, Remitter Cheyenne S Allen, I would check this out before ever going to your banking institution. If you require further information, I can be reached by email at *** ** *** ***. Thank you.
