My mother just received the same letter with check for 3977.30. Those who dreamed up this scam were good. At first glance the check looks real and official. But if you look carefully you can spot a few red flags.
1. JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., Toronto Branch. Postal code is listed as M5J-2J2
Its really M5J-2J4. Pluse the directory of Royal bank plaza lists the bank as JP Morgan Chase. There is a space between "JP" & "Morgan". Also no capitals for all the letters.
2. The address for VULSAY is 35 Regan Rd. Not 35 Regian Rd. Corporate websites never misspell there locations.
3. Contrary to what the security features state on the check; there is no micro printing on the border.
4. The signature in the front is fat and blurry. Plus corporate checks also have printed below in clear type face, the name of the endorser.
A little investigation will always defeat a scammers best attempts to relieve you of your money.
Got mail in a blank envelope, only my address, no return address of any kind on it. Letter inside claimed to be from Purolator, it included a cheque for close to $4000.00. Claimed to have selected me to be a mystery shopper. Called Purolator, they do NOT participate in mystery shopper stuff of any kind, nor do they hire people for mystery shopper. Letter told me to call this Montreal phone number to activate the cheque.
If you get Anything like this, call Purolator and advise them!! They are aware of this scam!! Whatever you do, do NOT cash the cheque or YOU will be out $4000!!!!
This is a scam! I got mail in a blank envelope as well with a check for 3977.30. This is from a real company called vulsay industries located in brampton Ontario, however this company does packaging for products such as antifreeze and glass ect, NOT secret shopping. In the letter it states to moneygram a jenica epp in new jersey and to western union a Peter glomlien. The number in the letter is for 5145594509 which is a montreal number. Please no one fall for this!

Called the number to see if it was real or a scam as I believed it to be. Told me it would take two days for the cheque to clear. This gives them time to have u place it in your account, and rape u. To send the money to two people in Jersey of all places is definitely a red, if not crimson, flag. I'll like to have a couple minutes of their time alone with them. There would really be some red or crimson then!!
