ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- A new scheme is taking advantage of Central Floridians who want to earn a few extra dollars as mystery shoppers.

Angelique Cooper said she got a letter instructing her to deposit $5,000 into a bank account and then shop and rate stores. She was supposed to keep some money for herself and also make two wire transfers.

Luckily for Cooper her bank found out the check was bogus before her account was drained. Channel 9 contacted the bank listed on the fake check and they said they had been bombarded with calls from across the country.
