My son received a $2400.00 check from these people and, luckily, he's smart enough to be able to pick out the inconsistencies that alerted him to the scam. To put it in his words "If it looks too good to be true, it probably is."

Maintain an attitude of gratitude!

I was the target of a scam by a company called Survey Platinum. Enclosed in the envelope was a $1600 check with a breakdown of instructions that read:
Shopper pay....$100
Western Union Shop.....$1363
Western Union Fee.....$92
Retail assignment at JCPenney's or Macy's.......$50.00.
I brought the check to my bank & asked them if they could tell if it was fraudlent. They said they wouldn't know until I deposited it. No way was I going to take that chance!! Ripped everything up, after I reported it on Scam.com, and burned it in my fireplace!

FYI, Strategic Reflections is a legitimate company so apparently a scammer is using their name.
