Few little facts:
--If you never entered a lottery, you can't have won. And there is no such thing as a country-wide lottery that draws a random name from phone book listings.
--You ESPECIALLY did not win a Canadian lottery that you never entered from within the U.S.
--If you have to cash a check and send money back, IT IS A SCAM! Think about it people! Why wouldn't they just send you a smaller check if they just need some of it back?
--Western Union does not hire people off of monster.com to mystery shop for them
--Neither does Money Gram.
--Legitimate mystery shopper services either give you a company card to use, or have you send in receipts for reimbursement. See above about western union
--Generally, employers actually want to interview you before they hire you.
--NO legitimate work-from-home business will have their clients send you money just so you can forward most of all of that money elsewhere. How does this even make sense? Seriously folks, why would a company ask a newly-hired employee to put THE COMPANY'S checks into the employee's account (or an account opened by the employee), even if they weren't then asking you to send it on elsewhere?
--However much in love you are with that guy (or girl) who you met online. However much you would love to meet them. WHY would they need YOU to cash their check and send them back the money for the plane ticket? Have them cash their own check and buy their own ticket.
There are more, but those are the scams that I just have trouble believing how many people try to fall for them...
