Mystery Shoppers
This bit of garbled rubbish was sent to me by a fellow member of a forum. It’s the usual fake mystery shopper job. You get sent a check for your fake assignment and are asked to forward most of the money to a third party. Then the original check is found to be fraudulent and you are left out of pocket.

You may have heard about people who are “hired” to be mystery shoppers, and told that their first assignment is to evaluate a money transfer service , like Western Union or MoneyGram. The shopper receives a check with instructions to deposit it in a personal bank account, withdraw the amount in cash, and wire it to a third party. The check is a fake.

To Whom It May Concern: I am the victim of an Internet crime. I recently received an email for a job opportunity. The job duty is to help this company clearing checks and they let me keep 10% commission for the transaction. All fees including money transfer agency commission and bank charges should be taken from the remaining 90%. The rest amount should be sent to the authorized recipient for this money transfer. On May 29, 2007, I received an USPS Priority Mail from Finecorp USA Inc. P.O. Box 7983 Van Nuys, CA 91409-7983. Inside this envelope enclosed a check from a person name: Adam Shihadeh Ward at 7709 E. Appaloosa TRL, Orange, CA 92869. This check look real and I did not know it is a counterfeit check until June 1, 2007. I deposited this check on the same day of May 29, 2007. My bank Washington Mutual told me the fund would be available to withdraw after two-business day, which is May 31, 2007. On May 31, 2007, I double-check the fund to make sure it was available to withdraw. Then I got en email from this Finecorp to give me an instruction of what to do with the fund. The check amount was $4,220.00 minus my 10% commission and minus Western Union wire-transfer fee $175.00. The remaining amount of $3,623.00 will be wire-transfer to Philippines to the person name Manuel Jr. Alegria. I am so happy that I receive my first commission money of $422.00. On June 1, 2007, it is my first nightmare when I find out my bank account negative. I call my bank right away and I find out the check I deposit on May 29, 2007 from Adam Shihadeh Ward was a counterfeit check. I feel like I am the stupid person in the whole that I will fall for this job opportunity. I hope I can reclaim my $3623.00 back but I know 99.99% I will not see my money again.
