So I'm being scammed for $3500. I'm not a fool. This is a variation of fake check scam whereby the person asks you to cash a fake check and keep 10% and send the balance to somebody. I'm not a fool to send my own money to somebody I do not know.

Beware of these new type of fake checks in pretext of Mysterry Shopper.

Glad you avoided being scammed. One thing you should realize, though.

by a woman living in Brooklyn, NY (I live in Manhattan, NY) using the overnight UPS letter service who does not live at the address she gave on the shipping label. UPC confirmed that she used a stolen Account number.

She is very possibly another victim who thinks she has a job managing shipping and/or payroll for a fictitious company. The address and account number may very well have been given to her by the scammers as the "company" information. It is very common for scammers to use victims to scam other victims.

If you have reported the scam to the police, they can sort out whether she is a victim or an accomplice.
