Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

Here is another example of this scam. I had exactly the same experience. BBB had the prior complaint on file and Auburn Bank said the Cashiers Check was a fraud and they are aware of the situation. Directed to turn in all available paperwork to the police. Be careful folks!!

Had a one line “mystery shopper for Walgreens” ad online and then received email from a Ted Greene welcoming me and giving me a Carla Brackett’s name to report to. Then received Priority Mail envelope via USPS addresses from Neal Sherman in Torrance CA. Inside was a printed assignment memo with Walgreens logo on the top with all of the instructions I was supposed to follow. Supposed to visit 3 separate stores and purchase $500 in gift cards along with $25 at each store to use for myself. Then write up a report about the customer service given for the sale and then include a picture of the gift cards having removed the security code and the serial number on them along with the receipt. Inside the folded letter was a cashier check for $1890.00 that was told to go to my bank and cash it and then use it all for the purchases less $300 for my own use as payment for my work. Report was to go to Carla Brackett. Then once they received that I would get a mail address to send the gift cards to as they will be donated to a charity.
