I recently replied to an ad in our local paper: £25 ph as corwdsourcing agent. Applied via email: nwinnyp@gmail.com. Was accpted, I asked for more details. His reply was to send me a cheque for over 4000 euros. I have to deposit the cheque and take out £350 for my pay.
Your first assignment will be the survey of a Western Union outlet while the 2nd assignment will be on Restaurant dining and the 3rd assignment will be a MoneyGram survey.
All the outlet's addresses will be sent to you once you have received your assignment funds.
Your Secret Evaluation will take place in a STEP-BY-STEP manner:
1)The funds needed for you to carry out your assignment/task will be sent to you once your details have been received.
2)From the assignment funds, you will have to deduct your wage of £350.
3)After receiving the assignment funds, we'll send you the name and address of whom the transfer will be made to.
4)Your first assignment will be at a western union outlet.
I hav received the 1st chq but am suspicious. Has anyone else came across this?

100% a scam, the cheque may even appear to clear, you'll hand over the money and then your bank will contact you and say the funds were rejected and you're then out of pocket. I have read about this numerous times over the years.
