Sending fake checks through the mail is a crime so contact the US Postal Service Inspectors:

Or take it to your local post master.

The deliberately send these rubber checks so you have to send x amount of cash back, via a untraceable source. You will be out the whole amount plus bounced check fee's if you cash it, send any of the money and spend any of it.  But that is how the scam works, they profit, you get ripped off.

Also file reports with your State Attorney General, Local LE, the FBI for fraud.

I got one too tony goldman sent me money for cleaning supplies but the supplies cane out to 298  and he sent me 996

Was tony goldman saying it was for cleaning supplies for his properties?

I received an overnight Fedex Envelope with two Postal Money Orders in it. $925 each. That should be a red flag right there. Secondly, I was supposed to fill out both portions of the money order, the TO: and the From:. Third, When you're getting paid $200-$300 for a "Secrect Shopper" assignment that should be a red flag too. No company can afford to pay that much for secrect shopping. REAL secrect shopping programs employ hundreds of people to do the same assignment. They can only afford to pay minimum wages to get the information they need.
PLEASE help anybody you might know to be involved by educating them on scam so they will not be taken advantage of and so they can pass the information along. The only way we can fight these cowards is to spread the word to as many people as you know. These days it's too easy to create fake money and documents and it's only getting easier.

I received a letter from Allstate Work-Force  Inc.

received letter from Wal-Merchandise & Control, Inc. with a check for $1338.10 and to contact Frank Dawson at 1-289-892-4905 between 8:30am to 9:00pm Monday-Saturday. my first assignment was to take $940.00 + $90 to a western union and transfer the funds to James Price in Atlanta, GA. My second assignment was to take $58.10 and go to a walmart, kmart, rite aid, cotco, sears, ect. and purchase goods and evaluate the employees on their performance and knowledge. a few days later i get a letter from my bank stating that the check was sent back for being worthless.

i got a lettler in mail today along with a check for 1388.10 and assignments this is wrong i almost put in my bank and been in trouble im happy i looked it up first if anyone gets a lettler like this throw away dont be someone victim like i was they told me to call this number 289 892 4905 when done and talk to Frank Dawson

Was on CBS news. Check is a phoney. Don't believe me? Take the check to the bank and ask them to certify it for cash. You'll find that the bank the check is drawn on is real, but the transit number (the series of numbers across the bottom) are phoney. What they hope is that you'll wire the money to them, before the check clears at your bank. So you're out $$$, plus the cost of an NSF check. The slang for someone who writes bad checks is "a paper hanger".

But how do they scam you?  I got a letter and a check for 1389.60, and some instructions to wire some of the money and to shop with some of it, after withdrawing $300 as my salary.  How are they scamming, how are they making money off of their "victims"?

Got a letter from Allstate Work-Force  Inc.  51=0 W 115th Street, Suite 200, New York NY 10026 and the check is from a bank called PNC Bank NA , New Jersey 060  (thats exactly how its written)   --its supposed to be an acceptance letter to mystery shop.  However I'm no fool....get em all the time!  Its so obvious!  Legit companies DO NOT mail you checks before you do the work....
 Tony Goldman was the contact at this 289-892-4905. The check is for $1980.00.....
 Beware of these...they come often.  Hopefully everyone checks sites like these and finds out....so they don't get scammed.  People are just mean to do these thing! DON'T RESPOND TO THESE LETTERS!!!!!  
   Like I said I get things like this all the time.  I usually drop the check off to a local bank -- they use it for training tools.....

I got the letter and check - mine is for $1989.50 and my "account manager" is Tim Coxwel and the letter was sent by Cynthia Spencer. The company name is Citi-Global Markets, 1675 Broadway, NY 10019. Thanks for your posts - hard to find anything on these guys.

I just got a letter today in the mail postmarked Canada and it had a check for 1,989.70 to be a "mystery shopper " and first assignment was to wire money to London UK. The "account manager's" name was Tim Goldman. I was immediately red-flagged because of having to do a wire transfer out of country. I called the # and another red flag when he started speaking with a "nigerian" like accent. I took the check and letter to the bank and they assured me it was a scam and they made copies of it. I am very upset that people like this get away with scams like these. PEOPLE PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THESE LETTERS!!! SCAM, SCAM, SCAM!!!!!!

Ya the new company is Region 8 Career Service Center they ask the same questions everyone else reported except the lady name is ANGELA GOLDMAN, Andrew Marlow and director of Operations Amada Young...Beware they are a SCAM Mystery Shopper Company!!!!!!!1
