The Shopping Corner Inc

Hi, I recieved a letter in the mail yesterday stating that The Shopping Corner Inc. wanted me to be a secret shopper and that all I had to do was cash the $3200 check, pay myself $400.00 and send them a money order for $2740. BIG SCAM!! I was showing the letter to my mother and she told me I needed to do some research on this well here I am. I first found the website (which had a different number than on the letter, but yet the same address) and then I found these Scam REports. So happy I didn't get this check cashed. Although if there was a way to cash the check without having to deposit into my checking account it would be nice to give those scam artists a taste of their own medicine. PLEASE PPL DO NOT DEPOSIT THESE CHECKS INTO YOUR ACCOUNT. YOU WILL ONLY BE PAYING FOR IT IN THE END. Pros: YOU GET A LITTLE MONEY FOR A LITTLE WHILE Cons: YOU END UP PAYING IT ALL BACK more

Like other people just received a check that looks to good to be true. I have a very bad experience with one of this checks already, Please we should report this to the Law Enforcement , so these people should pay for what they do to the most vulnerable outhere without a job, like me trying to find a job through the internet and this is what you found. SCAMMERS!!! Please be careful. more

Received a Check in the mail with no return address but a Canadian stamp.I read the inside information and it was from the Shopping Corner Inc so i called the number on the information sheet and spoke with a jamacian lady who spoke not a word of English. i took the paper to my attorney and sure enough he said it was a scam. you have to be a moron to buy into something like this. Has anyone kept this check or have you destroyed them all. Pros: Looks good on Paper Cons: major consequences in the long run more

My wife just got one of these scam artist checks int the mail today. We live in the Mid-Michigan area, no one else has gotten one of these besides us that we know of. I hope hat the people are caught and sentenced maximum punishment! I work on Ebay and this happens all to often! Pros: free money for a day or two Cons: they bounce the check once its cleared to cash in on fake checks more

This is a Check Fraud Scam. If you receive a letter and a check from The Shopping Corner Inc please post a tip on the FBI web site to help them find and capture the individuals responsible for this Check Fraud activity. more

I would be very interested in hearing what happened to the person that went to the bank in Chicago to cash the check, and also the person that deposited it in their account 2/13/08. I am not sure if I should just try and take their money (as someone stated), or if I will end up paying back the bank for a bad check!!!! more

OK, So I'm dumb and deposited the check into my account yesterday. After I did this I called my bank and told them it may be a fake check, even though it looked real to me. It's available in my account today, but I have a feeling that it will not be in a few days. That bank might not even exsist. I'm skeptical. I'm not sure if it's a scam or not, but I have a feeling it is. I"m not sure what to do now. I'm not sending any money to Canada. That is a flag for laundering money. Not sure what to do! SO, These scam artists do this...send you a check and want you to cash it and "send money." The check clears your bank before it clears their bank, and the check bounces and you are out $3200!!!! The check bounced today from when I deposited the money. I didn't use any of the money, I reported it to the bank first so I wouldn't get screwed. I called the # on the letter and some Jamaican lady answers and tells me that it's a job, come on, who gets hired for something without any paperwork! LETS CATCH THESE PEEPS! Cons: THIEVES more

Has anyone tried to deposit the check and what happen? Would like an answer. I received the check with the instructions but don't know if I should deposit in my account. more

I live in Houston Tx. I also recieved a check in the mail accompanied by a letter from The shopping Corner Inc. I am gonna check with my bank to see if it is a scam or not. I am a Pastor and I believe God surprises people with gifts like these. I thank God for whosoever God is using to surprise me if this is the case. I noticed that the Check says something different from the Letter. The Check is from a Bank in the US but the letter is asking me to send money to someone in Canada. My question is this: Why can't the person in Canada cash the check by themselves. Why do I have to Cash the check for them? This is my question and I'll appreciate a reply. If this indeed is a scam, then let this stop immediately. Whosoever is doing this should stop immediately. I won't like to recieve any such mail anymore. I am here to help build this great nation like any good citizen and not to destroy it. Abra Ryan more

I've been targeted for this scam as well. I live close enough to Chicago, however, that I just might go to the main branch of International Bank of Chicago (rather than my personal bank) and see if I can cash the check. If I can, I'll just keep the money and then see if these cons really do think they have grounds to prosecute me. My defense would be a US Postal law that allows you to keep unsolicited material that is sent to you through the mail. Maybe the only way to stop these scam artists is scam them. Cons: This is a major ripoff that anybody with a brain can see through more

Received one today myself from Canada to the US claiming I had a relative that referred my name. NOT- I dont have any relatives in that location or hundreds of miles from. lol BS scammers. more

These peeps are a joke. Even their number on the mailing says full box. Unable to get anyone. And when visiting their site, a different number is displayed at says out of service. Then if you really go to MoneyGram just to inquire, the fee is $105, not 60 as letter states and they are listed at MoneyGram as Fraud. BEWARE! more

i also recieved this check cashing scam, doing what i can to help catch these fools!!!!!! this is the 4th check i have recieved....... Adam more

i received to what i believe is a scam. there is a check enclosed made out to me with a letter for me to forward money to someone in Canada. I hope I find these scam artists and put them behind bars. I hope they are reading this because my attorney will be getting a copy of this ridiculous scam to verify more
