WHAT are you talking about, who sent you a check before doing the job, I'm afraid this is a scam, do not cash the check, take to police.

If somebody sent you a check for work you did not perform, it is a SCAM. Don't try to communicate with them or return the check. Tear it up and throw it away. Or, if you feel the need to do something with it, drop it off at your local police station. There's so many of these scams, I doubt the police will investigate, so I wouldn't bother. I'd tear it up and move on with my life.

I got a text today about the check I called the guy texted me he was in a meeting never called me back called him again voicemail did not call back tried to fedex check back could not get a clear read on priority stamp will take it to post office
I think they can report scams too

Can we get a test of some kind to be able to become a member of this forum? Cause, I mean, unless these posts are posted by members who are trying to boost this forum's numbers, can this really be believed? And if it is, then let's create some more threads to keep this forum going that are true and relevant and don't crap on each other's threads!

I received a FedEx from Ace Mystery Shopping it contained a one page letter and a cashier's check for $2498.00 I looked on your list of companies and there is no Ace. The thing is that they aren't asking me to send them the money it's gave me detailed directions to text them and let them know when it's deposited so they can release the funds into my account and then they would give me details on the assignment. Then I'm to write a report and email it to them.Is this how it is done?;

Ace stands for American consumer eyes

There is an ACE mystery shopping company, but unfortunately scammers use the names of reputable companies all of the time to attempt to steal from people. If you get a check in advance from someone, I guarantee it's a scam. The check is fake and if you wire them the money and deposit the check, the funds come out of your account and about 10 days later your bank discovers it's fake and then YOU have to pay the money back.

How this business works is you sign up for a company on their website, they assign you a simple shop that usually pays $10 to $30, you complete a report on their website (when you sign up with them they give you a user name and password), and about 3-6 weeks later you get paid. Who gives money in advance for work that hasn't done yet?

@OP: If you still have the check and paperwork, and even though someone has been arrested for ms scams, you could take that check to your state attorney general's office. They have a consumer fraud division or something similar that would include your/our concerns about this questionable check. Good for you to wonder about that!

@KatNuner
I guarantee that that is a scam. The worst thing you can do is deposit the check. Even if you do nothing else, the check will bounce and you will incur a fee from your bank. If you try to withdraw money, it will get worse...

Mystery shopping is real and you can make money doing it. I suggest starting by reading the New Shopper sections on this forum. Folks here can help you get going - without being scammed.

Hard work builds character and homework is good for your soul.
