it didnt ask me to deposit the money orders, just cash them.

You should return the money orders to the post office and let them take care of it.

Don't be easily deceived by the offer. It's surely a scam.

You should never accept large amount of checks from mystery shopping companies. Never send any money and you'll be ok.

I intentionally completed the information because there was nothing requested (at this point)
that was harmful (no request for date of birth; SS#, mother's maiden name). I wanted to see what came next.
I signed it with a couple of my degrees following my name (Ph.D., JD) to see if the JD got any attention.
I received a boilerplate response today, congrulating me (of course!) on having been accepted. Much of the rest of the e-mail was double-talk, making no sense.
