Received a letter from Canada with an IDI Distributors letterhead out of Chanhassen MN referencing ODU Research Foundation and signed by Nathan Snow. Informed me that I was selected as a mystery shopped and included a check for $1,398.30. Told me to contact my "account manager" Marcus Goldman at 289-892-2755 to authorize the check and then to deposit the check in my checking account and then go to Walmart and purchase a MoneyGram for $960.00 and send it to Gabrial Tervino in Atlanta Georgia. Said the remaining funds were $380.00 for my weekly paycheck and $58.30 was a bonus to keep for my second assignment a a shopper in Walmart, Costco, Bestbuy or Home Depot. Red Flags all over this. Be aware that the companies referenced are legit. The scam only shows up in the search engines when you type scam after the companies name.
