Work from Home Scam (Mystery Shopper)

This scam usually targets young people. It involves fraudsters who employ you to conduct supermarket or other surveys. They pay you with a fraudulent cheque. Then, they will ask you to cash the cheque and to take a percentage before transferring the balance to someone else. Beware of these "get rich quick" schemes. Even if you are focused on earning an honest dollar, career fraudsters are busy devising schemes to deprive you of your hard earned cash.
