wellcraft Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Received an E-mail from somone representating themselves as Opinion Outpost. the E-mail starts out by saying that you have been selected to do Business Evaluation Studies. They will pay you $l50.00 for each evaluation. Forward your name, address, and phone no. via return E-mail for consideration. 2nd E-mail says they are fowarding you a check for $l2l0.00. You are to cash the check, keep $l50.00, and $90.00 for fees, and transfer the funds through Western Union, recipients name will be provided later. Return the E-mail stating that you understand the assignment and you are available to accept. THIS IS NOT Opinion Outpost, BUT SOMEONE REPRESENTATING THEMSELVES AS OO. UPON CASHING THE CHECK IT WILL BOUNCE, AND YOU WILL BE STUCK FOR THE MONEY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that starts out with Western Union is a scam!This is the oldest scam in the books!Did you email OO about this?They need to know.This way they can post it on their web site to warn the people who are taking surveys for them.
