I got a letter/check in the mail today from a Canadian company asking me to be a "Mystery Shopper" at Wal*Mart and Sears. The check is for $4,950.00 and has a break down of funds. It says $700 of it is for two hours of my pay, $3,900 for a collection agency to hold, $200 for money gram and $150 to be spent at one of their stores. The check looks legit and is hand signed from a bank called 'Scotia bank'. If this is a scam and they want me to deposit it and send money back before the bank realizes its a bad check, couldn't I just cash it and wait a while to make sure its real? I know this sounds too good to be true, but seems harmless as long as I don't spend/send the money until Im sure its legit. What would you do?
