Seems like a scam to me.
*******Begin Email Coversation*******
Sorry for the confusion, the email was sent out as a mass email to all US residents.
The company is Albatross Global Solutions ( www.albatrossasia.com) and we are a market research firm, and this particular project is a mystery shopping project for a luxury brand we work with. We do mystery shopping with many luxury brands and mainly work in Asia, but do have some projects in major cities in the States.
The project is quite easy, and requires our shoppers to visit the store and evaluate the customer service. There will be a survey to fill out, and in total, it takes about an hour. The payment is 50 USD, and we will pay using a Western Union transfer.
If you or anyone you know would be interested, and also in the other cities listed below, let us know.
Sorry to bother you!
Best Regards,

I might be interested but I need to know more about the project and your company before I would do so. How did you get my name? I do not recall having signed up with your firm. If you plan on sending me a check up front, you can keep the check as I am not falling for that scam.
Thank you,
ME
