Can you provide some more info? Did you get an e-mail offering work? Do you have a website address?

I'm new to this so bear with me. I signed up to be a mystery shopper, and then received and e-mail from the Safe-Way Group to do a survey on Wal-Mart and Western Union. Today I received a Priority Mail envelope with a check for almost $2,000 in it, with instructions that are not on letterhead. The instructions say to respond to an e-mail address. I did, and I got the information today. They want me to go to Wal-Mart and spend about $30.00. Then they want me to go to Western Union and send about $1600 to the Phillippines. For this they will pay me about $300.00. I'm really leary of doing this. Any thoughts.

How can you just be "leary?" Your bullshit detector should be sounding off loudly and clearly!

That's what I thought. However, being new to this I just wanted to make sure. So, should I call the FBI or what?

You can file a complaint with the FTC at www.ftc.gov. The owner of one shopping company suggested putting all materials received in a ziplock bag to keep from smudging fingerprints etc., file a complaint and if they ask for the materials, be prepared to send them along. I doubt seriously that they will be able to track down and prosecute anyone and certainly new 'companies' with the same scam pop up like mushrooms after the rain.
