I believe I submitted my information to a job listing that was posted on LinkedIn for mystery shoppers. Time passed and I forgot all about it. A FedEx envelope showed up from an address I did not recognize. The envelope contained a check for $3,486 made out to me, along with instructions for completing a mystery shopping assignment at Walmart. The instructions stated to deposit the check into my own bank account, then withdraw cash in that same amount, keep a portion of it for myself, and use the remaining $3,000 to purchase 3 blank money orders at Walmart, all while evaluating the employees. The instructions said to then immediately mail the 3 money orders via FedEx overnight to an address that would be disclosed to me via text.
