Received an envelope with a check for 2320.00 wanted me to buy 4 gift cards and take a picture of them. took the check to the bank to verified that it was a scam. Its a scam . Beware of on line mystery shop.
I received a text message from this number that read "ello {sic}. Your Retail Survey/Shopper assignment by CheckPoint Signed up last week will be delivered this week. Proceed once received. Kristen Jones."
I received a packet in the mail yesterday -- a "cashier's check" from a bank I've never heard of -- in the amount of $2370, and a really poor photocopy of a letter, with type distorted almost into illegibility, instructing me to either cash or deposit the check in my personal bank account [yeah, right, like I'm doing that], purchase gift cards from CVS and a couple other places, keep $300 as my "fee", and send the gift cards to THEM [not falling for it].
Naturally, I'm not that gullible, so this stuff is being taken to the nearest postal inspector.
