SCAM ALERT!!!! This number 347-559-8458, claims to belong to a Michael Hall from Shoppers Express. This person [https://plus.google.com/114748446946103507870/ ] claims to be Michael Hall with the phone 347-559-8458. He/she is running a 'Secret Shopper' Scam. I was contacted by on Linkedin by whom I thought was an aquaintence from church about filling out some surveys online and earning some extra money weekly. I replied and sent them my business information (no home address or banking info). Two days later I was sent a FAKE CHECK for $2850.00. I was asked to cash this check, keep $400 for myself and wire $2450.00 to a Puerto Rico address all whilst being a 'secret shopper'at a Money Gram store in the nearest Wal-Mart. I immediately searched the Internet and found this is a huge scam stealing thousands of dollars from people, as many people think the check has cashed and drawn on the funds from their bank account for this tranfer. Only to discover the check is a fake and they are liable for the money. I called the acquaintence on Linkedin and found out he has not been able to access his account for sometime as it had been hacked by this person/persons who represents themselves as MICHAEL HALL.
