    Hell yes it is a scam!!

    The check is bad. You'll deposit it. Then withdraw 3300 bucks and wire transfer it out of the country so you can't get your money back. The check will be no good and you'll be out 3300 bucks.

    I haven't heard that one before, but I'm 98.6% sure it's a scam. What happened when you contacted them?

    Try to cash and keep entire check. No shopping. See what happens.

    Did you apply to become a mystery shopper? If not then its a scam. But if you can cash the check and get the money id keep it. All of it. Dumbasses.

    Do not cash this check, it will bounce. You will be screwed.
