I just received a check for $3991.48 myself and figures it was a scam.  Who gives a total stranger $3991.48 and asks them to send funds western union to another country.  What a pile of crap.

I got the same check and I looked up the address and company name on the top and the telephone number is not the same. The number they gave me is (514) 562-4319 and to talk to a Julie Philips. The number that goes to the address is 610-791-9081 and they have nothing to do with "secret shoppers".

I want to know where this phone number is from

Today, I received  the same mail from the same company you have described. But the phone number is (514) 746-8494. When  I used internet to search this company, I saw the message you have posted. Thanks for your information.

this number is from a company called arista builders llc address 43667 highway 90 in pace, fl.  It is a scam as I have in my hands a check for 3995.25 for a mystery shopper.  They stated the probationary fee is 485.00 and funds needed to shop is 100.00 and funds for transaction at moneygram or western union is 3200.00 and service charge is 210.25.  My suggestion is to put the money in a certificate of deposit and draw interest because it is a fake and when time comes to pay back the bank, at least you will have made about 150.00 in interest.  The bank is on Regions and I took the check to a Regions bank who stated it was a scam and have also given it to an attorney who would love to bust clayton baggett and sameer ahmed who are located in madrid spain and central africa.  This should say something.  Be careful
