After the survey is complete they send this out

How do you do. We are glad that you agree to help us. For a pity our

operator wrote your personal information incorrectly. Your information

got into another computer information base. It came to the people who

receive payment for your name because of our mistake was written a

check for the sum of 2100 USD. It has already been sent and will come

to you in 10 days. This check was intered for another man and because

of the computer operator's mistake it was written for your name and

address. As you agree to work with us we have a chance to correct the

mistake and to improve the situation. We'd like to ask you to get the

check and to take your payment in size of 150 dollars. The rest 1950

dollars we ask you to send us by Western Union to our man for whom it

was intended. The comission for sending this money by Western Union

you can take from this sum(we'll give you the information about whom

to send money). If you cash the check in the cash-centers, you can

take the percentage for cashing the check from this sum. If you agree

to do it give us your answer during the nearest 2 days and give us

your phone number to connect with you. We are waiting for the answer

from you and hope for the further cooperation in future.

Why would they ask me to cash the check and send the remainder of the money.

Just like all the fake international money orders and checks going around on the internet

BAD English for a start. Survey companies would use proper english.

Looks SCAMMY to me. If you get the check take it to your bank and ask them is it genuine? Tell them you suspect a SCAM.

DO NOT send them ANY money or give them any further personal details.
