Mystery Shopper Mail Scam

I rec'vd a check for $3775.00 along with a signup form for SECRET SHOPPERS. It was so funny to me to read this letter. I told you what 2 stores they wanted you to shop at and make a $40 purchase at The Gap and a $50 purchase at Wal-Mart. The other 2 were Western union for $2000 plus $99 for service fee, and one to Money Gram for $1000 plus $60 for service fee. WELL! They want me to put this in my account and send them the money and in the meantime the check will be returned (due to being on a bogus account out of Houston, TX). There I would be with an overdrawn account and no way to recoup the money.... This letter says 'SHOPPERS WORLD' on the top. The website listed is www.secretshopper.ca. The check is (supposed to be) drawn on Sterling Bank In Houston, Tx with the name of I.A.D. Contractors as the name on check/account. This is funny because the letter has an address from Ontario, Canada and was mailed from there. PLEASE BEWARE! It scared me because I have older parents that might have taken advantage of this scam, and they could have ended up broke..... Rip it up and don't cash the check....Please. It is a SCAM!
