Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

I received an initial text about a Wal-Mart secret shopper oppertunity and, and i foolishly replied with my Info including phone number and address only. I received another message confirming my position, the message informed me of my payment and assignment being sent in the mail, and it requested that I reply to the text as soon as I received my assignment letting them know how soon I was able to do it. To confirm all I needed to do is send a reply to another listed number letting them know that I am interested. Instead of one,I received two assignments and checks in different envelopes. The first check is in the amount of 2,300 and has two parts to it. The second was in the amount of 2,450, and only requires money transfers as tje assignments.The description of the first assignment starts off stating that an amount of 320$ is mine to keep, plus an additional 50$ to cover expenses of the job and gas. So far I have made 370$ just by opening one envelope.2,300 minus 370 is brings my amount to 1,930. Out of this amount they prompt me to keep an extra 20$ to carry out my first assignment where I will purchase and keep my purchased item plus evaluate the performance of the employees. The second part I would need to complete money gram transfers to two different individuals in the amount of 955$ each… after I compete these tasks I am required to evaluate the experience and if I do it in 48 hours I will be rewarded with a 200$ money gram gift voucher along with a certificate of completion.

I received an email asking for secret shoppers to work for them. I answered the email and a few days later was told that I qualify for the job. I got another email telling me to hurry up and get the job done I hadn’t even received my information packet. A few days later I got a priority mail with a check for $1,998.00 to go to Walmart and purchase 2 money grams, each for 899.00. Then send them to the two addresses that was in the letter. It also had the instructions, and what to say and not say, on how to purchase the items. The name used was Tyle Weyn.
