Type of a scam Employment

I was contacted, by email, on April 19, 2016 about a Job Assignment. I told them I was interested. I do a lot of online surveys

and product testing online, and have for years. I got another email from [email protected] (Michael Tincknell) on

Page 2 of 5

May 2, 2016 that a UPS package should have arrived with instructions for the job. I picked it up at my PO box on May 3, 2016.

There was a letter and a check for $1548.00 inside. I took a picture of the check. I replied to their email and gave them the

total that was on the check and my cell phone number. On May 3, 2016 I received another email from Michael with Survey

Instructions. It gave me info that I needed to deposit the check and wait a day for it to clear. Then I was to withdraw money to

be wired through Money Gram….the reason they said "The reason for this survey is to curtail the lapses at the Money gram

outlets, some Money Gram outlet have been reported several times for slow services, funds missing and unbalanced charges."

I really should have known better…I went along and did the transfer and filled out the survey form that they sent on my

experience with the shop.

Today I got a call from my bank that the check was stopped that was originally deposited and my account is overdrawn by

$1200!!!! I feel horrible.

The check came in a Priority Mail Express flat envelope. It shows to come from Tamara Cooper, 11136 Chandler BLVD, Los

Angeles, CA 91601. Shipped from Zip 91601 on 4/26/2016 (310) 595-9029 Tracking # 9470-1016-9932-0022-8791-02

The cashier’s Check was from First Light Federal Credit Union, signed by Karl T Murphy for $1,548.00 on 4/25/2016.

Money Gram was sent from CVS Kiosk #K42886, To Ervan Travon, for $1260.00. Reference #38278415
