I received the same letter today and found online a news report recently about the exact scam but my letter came from Survey Assurance Inc. Buffalo NY. The check is from QRC Tech LLC Madison Heights, MI bank of Check - National City Bank of Michigan/Illinois. Yes the check looks very real -- but was wondering why do they just send these out and HOPE the people actually wire the money. The news report online says that the scammers then can gain access to your checking account and drain it. I have no idea how they do it but maybe it's that YOUR bank clears the check only to have it come back afterwards as fraudulent? I have no idea -- it's not hat the money they are paying the secret shopper sounds outrageous -- really that they trust people to actually wire the money. And there is no recourse there because they want you to claim that the recipient is a relative. Still wondering how they gain access to your checking account though. Does anyone know? And yes this envelope had no return address and came postmarked from Canada. Maybe their way to avoid federal mail fraud laws.I would assume.No one called me -- just got the letter.

they got me for 3000.00

got a letter from Global Career Employment Assurance, Inc, "located" in Baldwin , WI but postmarked in Canada.  Correspondence included a check and asked to call this number.  I shredded the check...It had Scam written all over it

I got this Malteurop letter today. And being only 14, I freaked out, right? So I told a couple of my friends, but told them that it might be a scam (I may be a meer teenager, but I'm pretty mature for my age and I've got street smarts... and television). Because I'm familiar with the whole scam deal. So I calmed myself down, and read the entire letter over and over again. With all of the contact information and simple directions, I thought it might actually be good enough to be true! But from the start, I was a little uneasy about that whole transfer thing. Why don't they just keep that money in the first place. With the check for $3,000 and no fees on my part, I was pretty excited. I called "Jennifer Morgan" a few times with no answer. I was still super stoked. But I decided to check it up on line. Apparantly, google isn't as good as yahoo :) So I found this site! THANK GOD!! How much is a bounce fee anyway? It stinks... I wish it was real! I felt like a secret agent!! And the check looks SO real! It looks just like the checks my sister gets from her job. Whats funny, is that when I looked up "Malteurop" on google, it was a BEER company. With the same logo and everything. ???? That was confusing. But its good they have this website. I was almost convince that I was a secret shopper. Thanks guys!!!!

Got mine today. Thank God I searched on this before going to the bank. Even called the Bank that the check is on. They said to beware but could not give any information out.

well they got me for 300 and using a differant #.  # is (289) 892-4306
