I received a texted about being a secret shopper I called to see it it was real next thing you know I get a check in the mail for $1,985.25 and my first assignments is to send $1,445 to someone named Free Rivera in Spain but the letter that came with the check states that the headquarters is located in New York and the number registers to a location in Canada. I really don't believe I should cash the check. By the way the company is called Surveyrite Global Inc.

We received something similar but from Surveyrite Marketing Inc and to send money to London, England. The number is different but still in Canada (Toronto). The check is from a company called Clear Trans Inc in San Antonio, TX. We will deposit check but will not do anything further until the check clears.
Yup! cashing that check would be a BAD idea. It could take up to 2 weeks to "Bounce", meanwhile YOU are out the $1,445 you wired to a unknown person.
Best thing to do is either turn it over to local law enforcement or just feed it to your shredder.
This is a very old trick....
