I responded to a Craigslist ad for a paid market research study. A couple of days later, I received an e-mail from "Charles Hall" who said he was the Market Research Coordinator at Lighthouse Research. The e-mail said that although the study I had inquired about was full, I could participate in a study about Western Union customer service, which would pay $300.
I responded that I would like to participate, and a couple of days later I received a FedEx package with a check from a credit union in Pennsylvania for over $2,800, as well as another e-mail from Charles. This e-mail instructed me to cash the check at my local bank, and then, after deducting my fee and Western Union expenses, wire the rest of the money to an address in Washington state.
Apparently this is a scam and the check is counterfeit, so I will not be cashing that check.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
