Thank you for helping spread a word of caution about these types of messages! Based on the information listed within your original post, the message in question does appear to be a payment processing (shipping) scam. It also appears to be a spoof message designed to appear as if it came from a legitimate source or 3rd party company in order to lend it credibility.

We recommend such messages be disregarded and any current or future correspondence attempts related to the message be ignored.

Not the Mystery Shopper scam.
We have had complaints on some western union, walmart, Restaurant and money gram location in the services they render

You'd be sent a fake check and asked to "evaluate" WU by making a payment.
