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

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

http://www.wdtv.com/news/59517607.htmlLink to the news report showing a video with the EXACT letter I received today.

I got a letter from NATIONAL SHOPPING SERVICE, stating i'd been selected as a mystery shopper and a check for $2,995.00 was with it. The letter stated $600 was for me, for my evaluation and training pay, $100 to be used toward purchase at Sears, $100 to be used towards purchase at Walmart, and $1,995 to be wired at a Western Union to a woman name Louise Flanary in London.Even though I knew something didn't smell right, I wanted it to be true so I used the web address and sure enough it was to NATIONAL SHOPPING SERVICE.The address, city, state and zip code, all matched, but then I noticed the phone number was completely different.I read there cite and was amused to find out they don't mail out check's just like that.YOU "the shopper" have to come out of pocket on the assignment, send them the receipt, and they reimburse you, and it can take several weeks for them to do so!I knew right away some one was trying to scam me.The check looked legit. It had JP Morgan Chase Bank, NA  Syracuse, NY., and NOCO ENERGY CORP FUELS DIVISION  2440 SHERIDAN DR  TONAWANDA, NY 14150.I wonder if the company named on the check is aware of this,or if they're a part of the scam.Why is it so hard to nab the scammers, when they have names of suspects from the wire to forms?
