I received a Letter and check in the mail claiming I had been accepted to be a "Mystery Shopper". The check amount was for $3, 570.00 from THE MFG INC. P.O Box 222510 Hollywood, FL Bank Atlantic. Funds were split into these categories.
1.Probation training pay for me to keep was $500.
2.Required fund to be transferred at Western Union $2, 845.00
3.Western Union Service charges $145.00
4.funds need for shopping $80.00
My first assignment was that I was supposed to go to any Western Union location and and pose as a potential customer sending money to a JAY HEGG in London, England United Kingdom. After completion I am supposed to fill out a form they provided with the letter and fax it to them.
Once first assignment is competed I can move onto the second one. Choosing one of many stores to go and shop at. Once again filling out a form and faxing along with store receipts.
Like someone else reported this letter had typos and mistakes. Not common for real Businesses. Not once but twice they had put December 3th and January 3th. 3th? Had to laugh at that one.
They made it look very authentic even claiming I had a Representative ID number, Pink background writing saying it was an Original Copy, Legal and code of business and ethic warnings on back of documents. And for some reason a Bar Code on the document.
I cant make out the two signatures on the check but the document is signed:
Joyce Colton, Research coordinator.
I did not deposit this check so I did not get effected by it. But apparently from other reports on here this is a repeating offense that needs to be addressed and people need to be informed. Other reports had the companies located in different countries and states. I'm glad I didnt get caught in the trap, please Do not do it and report if you get this letter!
