As you can see, 1. The grammar is a bit off. 2. The person to be wired the money is in Turkey 3. The person receiving the money sounds a bit Muslim (Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I think most Americans are leery of names with Abdul in them!) 4. Not many people know this, but WalMart doesn't use third party evaluators for its marketing becasue it has too much to hide!
Today, I received an envelope with a "check" written off of an account from "State Employees' Credit Union" in Raleigh, NC for $2,850.12, the amount mentioned in the e mail. I have reported the e amil address to Dept. Of Homeland Security. I am now researching the check to see what I can find, myself!

Who Scammed You Commenter
I just recieved this in the mail too. The envelope it came in has a printed out USPS shipping label taped on it. If they are so quick to give out money to strangers, why cant they afford proper envelopes and letterhead? The letter inside is a mass produced/copied letter stating what is above though my check was for $966.12 - with $200 for my weekly salary, $10.12 for Transport/Misc. and $30 to spend at walmart. $680 is to be transfered to another Secret Shopper and the other $56 is for Western Union fees. I will call the MoneyGram # tomorrow which is 800-542-3590 and see if this moneyorder is just a copy or if it reaol but been cashed already somehow. Why would a lagit secret shopper program use cheap letterhead, a money order, and be out of the country (Turkey) and have non-american names and poor grammer? I'm pretty sure what they are expected you to do is deposit this into your bank account, take out your own money because the bank will put a hold on this moneygram while it clears, then when your bank finds out this moneygram has already been cashed they will void the deposit and you will be out the money you sent via Western Union and the WS fees. OH AND BY THE WAY, THEY SENT ME OUT AN EMAIL SAYING IF I DID NOT DO AS THEY ASKED RIGHT AWAY AND KEPT THE MONEY, THEY WOULD PROSECUTE ME TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW -LOL-

Here is the email I recieved the same day the moneygram came in the mail. See he/they are trying to make you do this in one day where-as it will take longer for your bank to clear the money order. Notice the From: & To: are the same person?
