Default Mystery Shopper?

I recently recieved an email about a mystery shopper job when I updated some job sites.
Here is the email response after I answered it out of curiosity:

Hello Andrea,

We strongly believe you've got what it takes to carry out the various surveys in your regions and hope we'll not be disappointed.

YOUR IMMEDIATE RESPONSIBILITY:

To conduct a hidden survey on the nearest Western Union outlet in your location by forwarding a fixed amount ($1270) to a mystery consumer in another region who's conducting the same survey at the "RECIPIENT" end.

A check for $1470.00 has been issued and should get delivered to you via regular mail within the next 4-6 days.

* Your income is ($100.00)on the check.

* You're to deduct another ($100.00) to cover the Transfer Charges at the Western Union location.

You're to simply rate the Western Union Outlets service on a scale of , POOR FAIR, GOOD and EXCELLENT by simply observing and recording the parameters below:

Service:

You will simply send me a mail with your rating of the store /depot under the parameters above.
