I can't find references on the web to that particular Shadowstoppers scam, but read http://wwwsitereviews.com/mystery_shopping.php?ad=sw99999bsusgg&gclid=COLjlNHq35ICFQUilgodGlcj_g

If you weren't expecting the check, then cut it or burn it.

Check with your bank to verify the validity of this check.


KT
my bank has a program to verify these kinds of checks. you can take it in and they can track the check to make sure it is legal. ( well, huntington bank can)


Mae
yea tlk to your bank about this money they will be able to verify where it came from by the routing numbers on the bottom, but go thro the bank don't do it yourself or you could jepordize your funds

If you did not enter into an agreement to work for them, the employment check is invalid & probably a phishing scam. Have your bank backtrack it & report it to the postal service since it is a scam being done through the mail system & they have slight issues with that sort of thing. Sarcasm on the slight.

I surmise this is an accidental check. That is, you are not legally allowed to receive this amount.

I would venture to guess you have not called the Unemployment Office to ask why you received it.

Thus, my answer is by way of two simple questions:
Does your community have a local jail?
For the next few months (or years), would you like to reside in a gated community?

It is a FAKE check. Even though the check may appear to be from a legitimate company it is from scammers. One of two things will happen.

1. You are asked to cash the check and send back a good portion of the money. But they ask you to do it through either a Money Order or Western Union to a person. About a week after you do this your bank will tell you the check is bad and you are on the hook for it.

2. You cash the check and they now have your account information. One morning you will wake up and your account will be cleaned out.

Cash it at your local bank and watch your balance disappear. When you cash it, your account number will become available to the crook who sent you the check. Good luck!

No! I just discovered that promoters of "mystery shopper" were indeed a scam. I cashed a $2680 check; a week later, the bank withdrew the money from my account because the check could not be processed. So I'm out the $2690 plus the $2000 cash I wired as part of my "first assignment."

For my second assignment, the promotors wanted me to complete a like assignment (shop for items and wire money to an address) BEFORE the check arrived, with the incentive of an extra $50. I refused, saying I'd wait for the check to arrive. It didn't.

Two days later is when I received the notice from my bank.

Read the website reviews and articles found by searching "shadow shopper" or "mystery shopper." I wish I had thought to search before I acted.
