I was sent a letter and a check for a mystery shoppers consumer research project. The check said that it was real plus it said PNC Bank on it from here in PA. I did not fill out anything online for this, I have no idea how this Universal Market Research company got my name or home address. Just out of the it was sent to me in by USPS. I deposited the check only to find out two to three days later that the was counterfiet. I got a letter from my bank saying that the check is a suspected fraudulent item. I've never seen a fake check so how could I have known when another popular banks name was on the check? Now I'm being charged for this check because it can't be paid.

- Couple Days ago I received the same type letter from this company and a check for 1943.00. I must admit to having been uneasy but as the check looked legit I played along a bit. I called the company as requested, Spoke to the so called manager, got confirmation the check was supposedly active then went to my bank and deposited, however at that point I requested bank place a hold on the check which they would have done anyhow based on the amount and being out of state. Sure enough bank called me 24 hrs later to confirm check was fraud. Guess Im lucky, buyt yes people be on the watch for this scam, I do have copies of all material should it be need for verification.
