Scam Alert

Joe,

My wife just received an envelope in Priority 2 Day mail from Carl Caldeira in Hayward, CA, containing a check for $2,294.00, to be used as a Walmart 2 Walmart Mystry Shopper. There was a slip of paper with all kinds of instructions, first of which was to deposit the check in to her bank account, then email or call a Rick Walter so he could activate the check. There were several other instructions to be followed. I called the Delaware State Police Barracks in Georgetown, DE to report this and the Trooper that answered asked if she had lost any money. When I told him no he told to don't worry about and just teat it up and throw it in the trash. Taking this advice I ran the check and the istruction letter through my shredder, which now I wish I hadn't done. I'm sending this so other people will be aware and on the look out.
