    Certainly a scam! Our website American Business Exchange.com recommends Rat Race Rebellion for all kinds of legitimate home business opportunities including mystery shopping because we have researched most of their listings and we have not found one scam!

    DO NOT SEND MONEY!!!! Nothing legitimate asks you to send money. The cheque you've been sent is going to bounce sky high and you will not only be out the money you sent, they will have your bank account number from it. You have good instincts....if it were legitimate, you'd get an assignment, send a report, and be paid, right? This scam is going on world-wide right now.

    100% SCAM

    Though the check probably looks real, it is fake. It will bounce 10-14 days after you cash it leaving you on the hook for the bad check and possibly even facing criminal charges.

    scam. the check is fraudulent. it was sent by means other than postal service, right? that's so the mail fraud statutes dont apply.
