just came from the mail box and discovered a check for 2,500.00 dollars, hey thought it was an unexpected wind fall ,because God knows we all need extra money into todays economy.So, i read the letter to see where this money was comming from. And the letter said congrtulation you have been selected to be a mystery shopper,all you have to do is deposit the check into your bank account,and take out 1,285.00for your fist assignment.assignment 1.go to walmart and spend 285,00 on anything i want evaluate it and send in my report. Assignment 2 evaluate western unionby sending 1,000.00 dollars to an unknown company. all the rest of the mony is mine . I called a friend of mines to tell him about this unexpected cash,and he just laughed. HE said"through the check in the garbage , because it's a scam". If he could of seen the expression on my face he really would've been on the floor . So he started telling me everything they wantd me to do , and that's how i knew he was telling me the truth. Please let me know has anyone received one of these letters.

I know someone that received a check like that. Good thing you have a friend looking out for you. My friend didnt tell anyoe about it and tried to cash it. He got in trouble with the law and almost went to jail for it. So always ask questions when you get something like that.
