1 - Legitimate mystery shopping will NEVER send you a check upfront for any reason. You ALWAYS spend your own money on any assignment and are not reimbursed until 30 days after you submit your evaluation form and receipts
2 - NO mystery shopping company can hire you before they have issued and you have returned an I-9 form as required by law
3 - NO mystery shopping company will EVER send you out on your first assignment before you have completed an orientation/training either at their office or in person with the Field Rep for your area if their office is in another state
4 - Mystery shopping will NEVER ask you to wire money through Western Union, Moneygram, bank transfer, Paypal, Greendot Moneypak or anything else

Turn the check, letter and envelope over to your local police station and report that you were targeted as part of a Nigerian fake check scam
That is too vague a company name. There is a well known Nigerian Secret Shopper scam where they provide a check for you to use for purchases and request you to "test" a money transfer service with a part of the money, which is their pay off in the scam where you get stuck for a bad check, which can take a couple of weeks to identify in the case of an international bank.
This TV report on internet scams might be worth seeing.

100% SCAM!
The check is fake!
You are supposed to "secret shop" a Western Union or Money Gram location correct?
The check will bounce in a couple of weeks. This leaves you on the hook for covering the bad check and possibly even facing criminal fraud charges as well.
That check is bogus. Cash it and you will regret it for a LONG time, I promise.
Is best market survey a legit job. I got a letter in the mail saying I'm hired and stuff and a check with it. I guess I go to stores and restaurants to buy stuff and take a survey on there customer service skills and stuff. Do anyone else do this ?
