I may have been the victim of a fake money order fraud and am unsure about the next step.

I signed up for a Mystery Shopper and I was sent a money order, It and the company looked legit. I cashed the money order and completed the survey along with sending another money order to the next survey taker.

Later a friend was concerned and told me that I may have been a victim of Fraud and the Money Order may have been fake or stolen. Unfortunetly the banks are closed now and the money wire has been sent. What are steps that I need to take now. I'm not even sure if the money order was fake but I want to take immediate action.

I received 2 Alberson's money grams for 977.77 each via UPS Next Day Air. I had signed up for the mystery shopper at mysteryshopper@reganconsultinc.com. I received an email with the same instructions, cash moneygrams, keep $200, wire the remaining balance (less expenses such as gas and Western Union Charges) to Fred Littles, 121-42 145 St., Jamaica, NY 11436. I received these instructions from James Railey.

Luckily, I live in a small town and my bank thoroughly checked these moneygrams and did not cash them. I was skeptical, but I'm also trusting. Honestly, if they had me do the same task again, I wasn't going to do it, because I thought it was money laundering and I was afraid I'd be helping the terrorists.

Don't fall for it!!!

Here is the latest and greatest in money order scams.

ASSIGNMENT INFORMATIONS:

Read and make sure you understand all that is stated below to avoid any mistake occurrence. You should receive a Payment in form of 1 Money Order of $950 from our Finance Company. And this is your Assignment.

Payment was issued to cover the project bills for your weekly wages and Assignment:-

Firstly you take the payment in the parcel to your bank and cash the payment today or deposit which after 24hrs the fund will be available then deduct your first week payment which is $100 then the remaining balance should be used for the assignment below. Follow the instructions. Your first assignment is to go to any Nearest western union Outlet to find out about their ways on their Trading/Operation System.

Here is the nearest western union outlet around your area where your first assignment a Mystery shopper would be carried out:

CHECK INTO CASH #39115
1865 N GARLAND AVE
Garland, TX 75040-4561

As a secret shopper, you should pretend as if you were a client and want to send money and memorize all you see at the outlet. We want you to report back to us on the following information:

-Procedure of Attendance:

-How many Attendance are in the Outlet:

-Security System {If there is any tight security in the outlet}:

-How many minutes it took for them in attending to one client and processing transfer:

As a secret shopper your job is to detect any thing going on in the outlet. Make sure you memorize everything you see in there because you would be asked some other questions when you return. Also you can’t just walk out of the outlet without sending anything or you would be suspected, So that is why we sent you the funds to make the transfer. So we authorize you to send the remaining balance of the funds with you after deducting your $100 weekly wages to the below information provided for our up coming exhibition:

MAKE WESTERN UNION TRANSFER TO:

Receivers Name :KEVIN WESTMAN
Receivers Address : 2907 Pointer Place
State ..Seffner, FL33584
Country .. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Our Finance company established a new system which you might never heard of called Alert Pay {Alertpay.com}, And this service is been Privately owned and established under our management since 2004, With competitors we have a very low rating and few customers and we want to develop and upgrade our service to the best and fullest. So we only need the report you provide so we can work on our service.

Make sure you don’t go with a note, because if they see you writing anything down, They would definitely suspect you are a secret shopper, just memorize all you see and report back when you get back home. Your next assignment for next week would be visiting a museum, we would provide you with the details and address and your payment for next week. Also to complete this Assignment you have to get back to us with the following information for the money you sent to our exhibition manager:

1. Senders Name and Address

2. 10 Digit Money Transfer Control Numbers(MTCN)

3. The Amount transferred after deducting Western union charges.

This project shouldn’t take you more than 24hrs to execute the Assignment and the time limit matters to us, with that we can also determine your efficiency in Hardworking and commitment you show in working with us. G

et back to me with the Reports and Transfer information.

Looking forward to work with you on this project. And remember to pretend to be a client who wants to send money so they won’t detect you are a secret shopper.

Best Regards

KIM SCOTHY
