I also recieved a check from them and I knew off the bat it was a scam. Come on people think of it this way..... Why would someone send u a large lump sum of money like that for an assignment? Why not send 100.00 and have you send 25.00 if all you are in fact doing is "a report on their service" anywho here is the emails I recieved:

craigslist,We get hired to go to other peoples companies and act like
