I responded to a Craigslist ad for a paid market research study. A couple of days later, I received an e-mail from "Charles Hall" who said he was the Market Research Coordinator at Lighthouse Research. The e-mail said that although the study I had inquired about was full, I could participate in a study about Western Union customer service, which would pay $300.
I responded that I would like to participate, and a couple of days later I received a FedEx package with a check from a credit union in Pennsylvania for over $2,800, as well as another e-mail from Charles. This e-mail instructed me to cash the check at my local bank, and then, after deducting my fee and Western Union expenses, wire the rest of the money to an address in Washington state.
Apparently this is a scam and the check is counterfeit, so I will not be cashing that check.
