Secret Shopper Scam

My email reply to this one was "Nice Try."  If it seems to good to be true it most likely is.  That is the adage, right?  I received a knock on the door this morning and I opened the door in time to see Fed Ex pulling away after leaving an overnight paid for Fed Ex envelope on my front porch.  I opened the envelope and there were two Money Gram money orders for $955.00 each.

 I checked the sender name and found it was sent by Mainframe Productions, 70 S. Front Street, Harrisburg, PA 17104.  My first reaction was that I had received payment for a film or industrial I had recently done.  My agent generally distributes my checks directly so I was a little suspicious.  There was a pink strip note instructing me to email bobballs@one.co.il for instructions as soon as received.  Next, I figured some indy film maker was advancing me for a role I was to do.  That thought was cast into the not a viable explanation pile because I have never met an Indy Film Company who would pay an actor, much less pay him up front. I emailed the bob balls (nice) guy saying only Instructions?
