Is this the real deal?

I just received a letter in the mail that I was selected to become a secret shopper on a part time basis. The provider also sent a $1500.00 check that I am suppose to send $1160.00 thru Money Gram back to them. $40.00 is the fee for the money gram. $200.00 is my paid salary and $100.00 is for me to shop one of 5 specific stores, I get to keep the merchandise I select!  I am wondering if this is the real deal or a hoax??? The check is from JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.. The company name on the check is Calgon Carbon Corp. out of Pitts, Pa.

It's just a spam letter.

And the previous post is spam, too

Sometimes we put up walls not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.

It's a scam.  Ask yourself why someone would send you a check and then request most of it back instead of just sending you the net amount.  The check is bogus, you will deposit it, and it will not clear.  You will then be out the $1160 you  send to them.  Don't fall for these.
