BBB of Kansas Warns of Scam

This scam isn't really new, maybe a new twist, but shows why we should always keep an eye open when responding to any eye online or in the paper.

The Better Business Bureau of Kansas recommends consumers be cautious about getting involved in work offers found on the Internet.

Recently a Topeka woman reported to the BBB that she replied to a Mystery Shopper ad and found herself in a scam working out of Canada. According to the press release she became alarmed when she received a check along with instructions to send a the sender a fee via Western Union, upon depositing the check. Like others, she would have been out a substantial amount of money and would have given the scam artist her bank account number.
