I received 2 Money Grams in a UPS Express Envelope, each one made out to me and each one for $985.00. I was told (by email from a company I do surveys for) to secretly evaluate the Money Gram location in my area while cashing the money grams. I was to record who assisted me and how long it took to get service, etc. Well, they would not cash them without the receipt, but how could I have a receipt if it was money from a girlfriend. They told me I had to cash them at a bank. So, I went to one of the big credit unions and they put it under this light to check for the proper markings and told me they were real, so the next day I took one of them to my bank and cashed it and deposited some of it as I was told to keep $400 for myself. The following day, I cashed the other one.

Then I was to take the cash to the Western Union and wire the rest of the money to someone in Texas because somebody claimed their money never showed up at the Western Union in Texas. I also had to record the name of clerk who assisted me and how long it took to get service and what time of day I went there.

About 2 days later, the bank manager saw me coming out of the post office and asked me to come in to talk to him. I had no idea why, then he told me the money grams came back as fraud. So, I am responsible for paying back that money. I kept everything they sent me including the envelope from UPS and they said they would try to make sure they couldn't do this to someone else.
