I've responded to you on two other threads you posted to and the bottom line is you are holding a bogus check. Mystery shopping companies DO NOT pay in advance and DO NOT send you checks or money orders to deposit so you can wire money. You can also read my response to your original post on the Seaboard International thread.

Before I ever signed up to mystery shop, I did a little searching on the internet. I must have put my name and address out there somewhere. (Be careful what you do.) I received a check for almost $2,000 with instructions that are similar to everyone else's that are scams. Luckily, I was skeptical. I took the check to my bank and explained that it was a probable scam. They copied the check to inform their employees. I also called a gov't hotline (don't remember the #) to report a mail scam. They barely asked me any questions and didn't really sound too interested. I'm sure they hear this all the time. So, be smart people!!! My letter was from California and the stamp was from Canada and the check was from some bank back east. Red Flags all around. Hope this saves some poor souls a lot of grief.

Thanks for that information..... I too was mailed not one, not two, not three but four difference amounts of checks, Cashiers Checks and Bonds; asking that I cash them, go to walmart, western union and wire a large amount like($1500) to a person in Asia, or Phillipeens, or Korea and I get to keep $200 right of the back... Im getting paid before I even carry out the request; Checks with no letterhead, no introducion letter no return address.

This really has to be a scam....

It is most definitely a scam.

I get these checks all the time, THEY ARE A SCAM!!!!! DO NOT CASH them!!! The best thing you can do is take it to the police station and file a report. I've tried contacting different companies to report the scam, even the FBI, they just act like there is nothing they can do. Even if you Google it and it looks like a real web site it usually is not. I got a check once from a construction company in Texas asking me to cash the check and wire money. I did some research and found the companies web site and contact number so I called them. They weren't even aware that they had been scammed. I sent them what info I had but all I had was an official looking check sent in an envelope with the companies letterhead on it and a letter on company letterhead signed by a person that the company had never heard of. BEWARE!! Legitimate mystery shopping companies NEVER send you money before the shop. I have been a Silver certified shopper for 3 years and worked for numerous shopping companies some begrudge even paying you after the shop and none pay before the shop.

Keith, instead of activating the check, READ what has been written about the checks. This is a SCAM.
