The bank will eventually realize, about 1 week later that the checks are from a non exsistent bank account, and YOU will be charged with FELONY CHECK FRAUD AND THEFT. Don't try to outsmart the scammers, they are in another country, you are the one that will be hurt in the end.

So what happens when the bank doesnt catch it? and you deposit the funds. Will the bank then make you pay them? This is a scam. My bank checked it and found it was fake but my boyfriends bank gave him the money. When i called them to notify them of their fraudulent activities Ashley hung up on me. After calling so many times their number was no longer available. Hmmmm

Glad I read these post because it really looked legit to me.  The western union transer was to be sent to someone I know and then cancelled the next day and I was to keep the money to pay for my future "shopping " jobs ...  My bank flagged the check as soon as I presented it, even called the bank it was written on  YUP Scam !!!

So what will happen if u keep the money for yourself?

I signed up for Secret Shopping on the net and this company called me and said I had been accepted to work for them.  Strange!  I did not even fill out an application in the mail.  I received a training package last weekend with instructions to call them and two twelve hundred and sixty two dollar checks.  They wanted me to take them one at a time to my bank and deposit them then call them back when I had the money and they would tell me which jobs to do the last one being a Western Union shop that I was to send $950 dollars of the money I received to them.  SCAM!!!!  My husband and I did some research and found there was no bank attached to the routing number on the check.  We called the police and they said actually there was nothing they could do about it just be glad we realized it was a scam before we sent the money not after.  Just be advised this is a SCAM!!!

I almost got hooked I'm waiting on my training packet I'm glad I did some research first

That call I reported above was for a Mystery Shopping Job. Melena was to be my trainer.

I've received several calls from this number. 416 682-7000 which converts to 877-300-9139
The person that has called gives her name as Melena Rivera. She sounds Hawaiian, says she's from Atlanta, but hung up on me when I asked for the street address. The number is from Toronto, Ontario, CA.
When I called the 416 number I get the 120 bps signal (fast busy).
When you call the 877-300-9139 and the extension she gave me x204 it tells me I've entered the wrong number. Then I got the operator, Ashley. Wow! She's a piece of work.
She asked for my name, I gave it to her, then she asked for my last name. I reasked a question. She told me, "You're not the one calling the shots here."
On the original call from Melena, I got suspicious when she said I'd make $100 - $200 for each assignment.
Then even more so when she said the will forward the funds up front. Especially when my training involved shopping three companies and the last one was Western Union. At this point she had never once mentioned there company name. So I asked her for it. She said "Consumer Maintenance Data Services. CMD". When I called the company the name the say is "CDM Consumer Data Maintenance Services". Neither are listed anywhere. I asked Melena for the address, she said they are in Atlanta, GA. First she said I would get that when I get my package in the mail. I asked for the street address and she hung up on me.

This numbner is also connected with 416-682-7000, a mystery shopper assignment scam
