I am always wery of things that seem to good to be true, so I got a cashiers check for $3000 from Kellogg Shopping Agency and I called a verified the account number so it was from a real account, so I was told to keep $300 for payment and wire through western union the rest of it to another mystery shopper in London, well thinking it is a scam, I took it to thier bank (I was told to take it to my bank, but I wasn't falling for that) the bank did verify it was a real account but it was not signed by the person who account it was. Here is a copy of all the emails she sent me, I am sure they change names to keep their scam going, so if its to good to be true, then it is probably a scam.
