The same with me. I have a tracphone and when I tried to call the number it gave me the message "restricted -56" I had no idea what that meant but it instantly alarmed me. That's when I looked the number up. I should've known it was too good to be true!

This is a scam, folks. The check you receive is a counterfeit. This is commonly known as mail fraud.

Don't believe me? Did you see any grammar or misspelling errors in the letter explaining what the check is for?

DO NOT CASH, NOR DEPOSIT THIS CHECK.

If you deposit it into your account, your institution may charge you a returned check fee because of the fact that it is fake.

Or worse, if you cash the check, you are responsible for paying that money back to the institution.

DON'T DO IT.

You DO have the option of reporting it to the postmaster general, but...I just think your efforts would be in vein.

God, please help those poor souls that cashed a counterfeit check and sent the con artist money through western union.

Yes, I was suspicious right from the get-go.  When I saw the envelope, all I said to myself was "ut oh".
I had Canadian stamps on mine too.  

I just posted a reply to "Jess" who posted back in 2010.  I can't believe this same exact scam has been going around for a few years.  How do they not catch these people?

I didn't receive a phone call either....just a letter and a check like you.  My check was in the amount of 1985.00.  The letterhead uses the name American Consumer Opinion. Mentioned it was for a secret shopper That seemed legit enough, but then I Googled the name on the check,  (Which was The OFIS L.P.) it comes up as a 401K plan administrator. Check was drawn on Amegy Bank of Texas.  The telephone number was the same and "Mr Chris" was the person you had to speak with to "activate" the check.  What a crock!!!
It's amazing how they go to any lengths to pull these scams off.  I feel sorry for the people who don't own a computer or have no knowledge on how to use a computer.  Those desperate enough to believe in fast money like this will become victims.  Please people.........Doubt anything that seems to good to be true, because it usually is. If you aren't sure, try researching letters, documents and checks.  I googled the information and found this blog.  Even if I didn't find this blog, I still did not believe it, but I wanted to see if anyone else had this same scam happen to them.

Get the word out to others......Help them to help themselves from fraud!

Phone number to call in this scam is in Canada; knew something was wrong before even opening the envelope because there were only Canadian stamps on it. Saw the check, read the letter and had a hearty laugh at the scammer's expense.

Scam is incredibly transparent when you look at the 'Secret Shopper' instructions, which has you buying a small amount at one or two retailers, but sending the main amount through Western Union back to them. Days later, you'll discover the check is invalid, which will create problems for you as the funds you THOUGHT you had deposited from the bogus check are not really there.

Nigerian Scam!!!! Recvd a letter saying we had been selected to participate in a secret shopper program. A fradulent, but realistic looking check was included in the amount of $1,985.15 issued from Pro Team Vacuum Company, on JP Morgan Chase Bank (Chicago, IL) check. Called the phone number listed, 1-289-892-2709, and spoke to "Chris Nelson", stated he is in New York New York but phone is listed in Pickering, Ontario, Canada. This is a scam!

I didn't receive a phone call. Just a letter with a check for 1,970.00. Saying it was for a secret shopper. It gave you two different jobs to do and one was to transfer money from your personal account through money gram and then spend a 100.00 at walmart or best buy and fill pour a form. They said they were from new York but when I looked up the number it was a cell phone from Canada. Sounds a lot like the same issues of what is on here. The number that was on the paper was 1-289-892-3834
