Who do I contact if I think I may be involved in a money scam though a company claiming to be Secret shopper?
I was assigned a job where money is being wired to me via fedex today. I am supposed to take the money to my bank, take out my $200.00 payment and wire the rest through western union to another secret shopper in California. I am in Oklahoma. What should I do?

Call your local control first. They’ll probably contact the FBI and Treasury Officers (Secret Service)
Keep all the money, its a scam.
ITS CALLED A FAKE CASHIERS CHECK…. THEY WILL SEND YOU MORE MONEY, AND TELL YOU TO SEND THEM THE DIFFERENCE TO THEM. BY THE TIME YOU REALIZE THE CASHIERS CHECK IS FAKE, THEY WILL HAVE YOUR 200.00. THEIR IS NOT MUCH YOU COULD DO EXCEPT NOT DO THE TRANSFER. MAKE SURE THE CHECK CLEARS BEFORE YOU SEND ANYTHING TO ANYONE. IF IT COMES BACK FAKE THAN I BELIEVE THE FBI HAS A COMPUTER FRAUD DIVISION. CHECK THEIR WEBSITE. ALTHOUGH I DONT THINK THEY WILL DO MUCH. JUST DONT FALL FOR THE SCAM.
There is no free money.
Its an unlawful scam call the control.
It is a variation of a scam that has been around for a long time. Western Union has started notification people about this type of scam as they were being used to facilitate similar scams in the last few years.
The check is a fake and by the time you find that out, they will have your $200.00.
You can say law enforcement, but it will be more for informational purposes. Most of these scams start out overseas and in countries that do not cooperate with investigations, let alone allow extradition. Even though they are using US addresses, everything is forwarded overseas to the criminals. I saw one of these scams really use the street address of a precinct station house in New York City as their physical address.
scam scam ripoff ripoff
not really anyone to contact
They run this scam 10,000 times each day
If you do this, you will be liable for all the money.
In addition, if you did receive a cheque/money order, don’t even attempt to cash it at the bank. It will be returned as fake, and you might be in legal distress if you can’t talk your way out of it. Take the cheque to the control, or shred it. Then cut off all contact with the fraudster.
