Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

I received a letter through priority mail that I should take the check the individual (s) sent for $1980 & deposit it into my account. After 24 hours I should withdraw the cash, taking $350 for my commission, $32 for my dining assignment & $23 for wire transfer fees. The remaining balance should be split into $790 & $785 & sent to: Kim Lee Hall, 7925 Seward Park Ave S, Seattle, WA 98118 & Pat Rae Ehrler, 4936 N Lexington St, Tacoma, WA 98407. I should go to Starbucks, Subway or McDonalds & evaluate their professionalism & customer service, what I ordered & its cost, & the name & address of the restaurant I evaluated & its general condition & neatness. After sending the aforementioned money to the two other recipients through Moneygram, I was instructed to email my name, address & phone number, along with the name & address of the stores evaluated & my comments about my experience, as well as my experience at the wire transfer store to the aforementioned email addresses.

Type of a scam Employment

I was told I would be a secret shopper, they would tell me where I was to shop, and I would get paid to do it, plus they would provide the money to do the shop. I received a check in the mail yesterday, told to deposit it, wait 24 hours for it to clear, then the funds would be available. Then my bank informs me its a counterfeit check, and I've lost my bank account.

I received an email soliciting for mystery shopper. I have recently retired from 38 years of retail management and this opportunity seemed perfect. So I responded to email with my name and address. I then received in the mail a large envelope containing one page of instructions and a check for $1980.00. The instructions in a nutshell were to deposit check into my account. Following deposit go to 1 of 3 restaurants for a meal and review. Then go to Western Union and wire money to 2 separate addresses in the amounts of $790 and $780. The remaining monies would cover fees and charge for my service. I did NOT fall for this but did contact BBB in Hawaii and they provided me this form to report.

I was emailed a secret shopper job and no one called me they just mailed me one piece of paper with all Instructions on it and a fraudulent check. All they have done was text me and email me to see if I've done the assignment.
