Secret Shopper / Customer Scam
Old Scam... New Twist ... From Canada comes the Secret Customer / Shopper Scam. You will get a letter asking you to be a Secret Shopper or Customer. You will also receive a check for training and some expenses. The CHECK is a FORGERY. DO NOT CASH OR DEPOSIT THIS CHECK. They ask you to "Money-Gram or Western Union" a portion of the money back. If you do, you'll be out the cash and be responsible to replace any loss to the bank. If you get any mail of this type or similar, please report it to your local Law Enforcement or Postal Inspector. ----- Sheriff Karl Dailey
