Scam Warning

Scam overview.

There is no legitimate reason someone you do not know would send you an unsolicited check to purchase goods.

There is no legitimate reason someone you do not know would send you an unsolicited check as payment before a service is completed.

There is no legitimate reason someone you do not know would send you a check as payment for more than they owe you, and then ask you to send back the difference.

These scenarios are 100% a scam, every single time.

Scam Awareness

We are aware that scammers periodically impersonate our company (as they do many similar companies).

We always appreciate when someone brings it to our attention, and has the forethought to contact us about any offer that might seem suspicious.

If you identify received materials as fraudulent, we recommend destroying them and ceasing all contact with the person(s) who provided them.

Please review the scam warning information and materials below to know how to identify potential scams.

We do not use Gmail or any other email service providers to communicate with our field representatives.

We will never send you unsolicited messages through the LinkedIn platform. This contact method is usually from someone you may know or are connected with on LinkedIn. Someone gains unauthorized access to their account and sends you unwanted solicitations.

SCAM: Secret Shopper, Mystery Shopper and Detective Shopper Scams

March 11, 2012 by Chris Edwards 804 Comments

There are several of these emails going around. I have listed a few of them below. I have also created a video that explains the scam, just press play below.

How The Scam Works

This scam is similar to many other scams, however, this scam is disguised much better. Here are the steps of the scam:

  • First, you receive a recruitment email from a secret shopper service, sometimes called SS-Network, Link Sole Services LLC, or a variety of other names. The recruiter tells you that you have been selected for an assignment as a secret shopper in your area. You will get $200-$300 dollars and will receive a packet that will have the funds for shopping. All you need to do is send them your name, address, age, occupation and an alternative email address.
  • After they receive your information, you will receive another email with your instructions and a USPS tracking number. In this you will be given instructions. The instructions are listed below.
  • You then will receive by mail a money order for a large amount of money. This is normally several thousand dollars. The money order looks legit. Per instructions, you are to cash this at your bank, subtract your payment ($200-$300) and then proceed to Walmart and spend $20 on any item you want.
  • Now you are to survey you experience at Walmart. This is where the scammer is trying to gain your trust. Their goal is to make this secret shopping scam seem real so that you don’t expect anything.
  • Your next assignment is to either send the money to another secret shopper or secret shop Western Union. You are to send the remainder of your balance to the person listed in your instruction email. Once the money is sent, you are to take note of how the service was and send them back an email letting them know your survey results as well as the transaction number.
  • A few days later, or even a week later, your bank rejects the money order since they realize it is a fake and the funds are removed from your account.

The Scam Emails:

Thank God I Googled this Cashier’s check from Community Trust Bank in Pikeville Kentucky From a Chris Thompson and signed by a Hannah Williams. It came to my mailbox today by priority mail in a flat cardboard envelope. It was in the amount of $4770.23. For me to cash and spend at Wal-Mart buying Visa prepaid credit cards that the detailed instructions tell you too purchase the kind that cash can be withdrawn. I am so glad that I looked this up. They were saying I would be Paid $710.00 just to go purchase 8 of the $500.00 cards. Sounded to good to be true, and it most definitely is.

I received an email from “ [email protected] ” and it was signed by ”Mark Spencer” as Research/Evaluation Team. Unfortunately I sent back all my information which I was asked for, because I was looking for mystery shopping jobs at that time. I received a check from them today in the amount of $ 2965.35 Peoples Bank Lynden, WA. I checked the bank’s routing number and it’s different on the check. The letter they enclosed says not to cash it but to deposit in the bank immediately within 24 hrs. Just because of the amount of the check I was shocked and that’s how I thought it should be a scam. Below is the emails I received from them, there were text messages as well.

A Check/Money order of between ($800 ? $2,850) will be mailed out to you to carry out the Evaluation. The funds have been calculated to cover both aspects of this survey. You will be allocated $100 for the Walmart shopping section.

All you have to do is walk into any of its location buy, buy and buy till you exhaust the money provided for this section, but you have to be in the store for at least 30 minutes, watching and taking note of everything (Remember that everything you buy is totally yours).

The management of Walmart intends to change the store?s environment, color, gift items and shopping/carrier bags etc, we are also looking into putting a stop to poor services. For these reasons we have decided to give the customers the opportunity to decide.

NOTE: You are to keep the WalMart receipt of everything you buy to the report.

A lot of customers have reported lapses in Money transfer services in some Outlets around the U.S. Our need to act is based on reports and complaints which some customers forwarded anonymously and phone calls that were made to our head office.

Agent?s locations were reported for evaluation for the following reasons; Slow services Unbalanced exchange rate Poor services Rudeness to customers Excess charge

YOUR EVALUATION WILL BE :

To make a transfer of funds from the location to our agent with the remaining funds after you complete your first task.Funds would be picked up by our agent at the exact location which a customer reported his/her funds missing from.

You will have to record the time at which you got to the Western union/MoneyGram Outlet and how many minutes it took you to get the service.

You will also provide us with the Name of the cashier that attended to you along with the Address of the WalMart store.

You will be paid a commission of $100 for completing both tasks. Also you will be on a basic monthly salary of $1000.00 which you will be receiving every last day of the month end. Your reports should be drafted and sent to me via email immediately the assignment has been completed.

My name is James Peterson I am from Spain, I want to share my testimony on how i got the blank ATM card. I was so wrecked that my company fired me simply because i did not obliged to their terms, so they hacked into my system and phone and makes it so difficult to get any other job, i did all i could but things kept getting worse by the day that i couldn’t afford my 3 kids fees and pay my bills. I owe so many people trying to borrow money to survive because my old company couldn’t allow me get another job and they did all they could to destroy my life just for declining to be among their evil deeds. haven’t given up i kept searching for job online when i came across the testimony of a lady called Judith regarding how she got the blank ATM card. Due to my present state, i had to get in touch with Hacker called KELVIN of [email protected] and he told me the procedures and along with the terms which i agreed to abide and i was told that the Blank card will be deliver to me without any further delay and i hold on to his words and to my greatest surprise, i received an ATM card worth $4.5 million USD , All Thanks to KELVIN , if you are facing any financial problem contact him asap here is there email address ( [email protected] )

My name is Eric Gomes i am located in USA,Texas. i will like to publish the hand work of God to the general public. God has been very grateful to me and my family. 5months ago i was seriously searching for a loan worth $90,000.00 to buy a house in the USA. And i was scammed by various lenders online, but 2weeks ago i saw a post about ATM blank cards. I doubted this but decided to give it a try by Contacting them through there emails on( [email protected] ) they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. i’was assured that the card can withdraw $5000 instant & was credited with $500,000.00 so i requested for one & paid the purchasing fee to obtain the card. 72 hrs later, i was shock to see the DHL agent in my resident with a parcel{card} i signed and went back inside and confirmed the card works after the agent left. This is no doubts because i have the card & has made used of the card. This hackers are abroed based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!!

This is the info to send your purchasing survey:

INFO: Brian Gregg… 7920 Ridgefield Rd Lot 5 Crystal Lake IL 60012.

In response to my previous message. if these groups were to state whatever you purchase must be through mail and you were to send them at a time span of less than a week then you know it would be fake. Since they wouldn’t allow Banks some time to examine the legitimacy of the check and by then you pretty much send your money away….

Cant the banks that cash it on spot tell its a fake with today’s technology

' src=

April 29, 2017 at 5:41 pm

You’d have to ask a banking professional, but it’s not that simple. A scammer can use real paper and existing banks.

The checking system was designed to trust checks upon deposit many years ago, a decision made long before the Internet and today’s printers.

To verify a check today, merchants use a service. (like ChexSystems)

Or suspect it is bad and show it to bank manager.

Yes we have technology to detect or inspect checks. Banks keep records of bad checks in a database and share it. But someone has to look this up.

I stopped using checks last time I changed my bank a year ago. Debit card, credit card or cash. (Along with online wallets.)

New sale sites for personal items……not Craigslist as scammers have been using that for a while. Letgo is a new one, plus local community facebook buy and sell pages now too. I was selling a camera on letgo and got a message from a single name of Barrett. Wanted to buy it, but wished to send a cheque….alarm bells. I said sure send me the cheque and once it clears i will send on the item. All the time im chuckling to myself knowing this is a scam. He is in constant contact, is all ok, are we good, do i still get the item etc…..of course i molify him, yup all good just waiting on your cheque (im British in case you wonder on the spelling 😉 2 days later he gives me a usps tracking number, i check it and something is on the way. His package arrives, i open it and start laughing my arse off. I was selling the camera for $75.00 He sends me a cheque for $800.00 and im thinking well thanks buddy……keep the change I guess!

Cheque was from one address, package from another, 2 different company names. So I do a little investigating for poops and giggles. Both companies exist, one is a golf and country club(legit) the other is some dodgy looking food outsourcing service with a clueless website, hashed together with string and bubble gum! The bank routing number is legit, but no bank address or banks logo on said cheque.

So I show my wife later on, she giggles away and says Can we take it to the bank, all the time smirking away. Were heading out anyway, so why not! Our bank lady takes one look and shuts it down as a scam in less than 2 seconds……its nice to get the final confirmation (when you need cash that temptation to take a chance is a compulsive little beasty)

Well I feel bad, so I figure the next day im going to get the number for the country club and let them know someone is counterfeiting cheques in their name. Wouldn’t you know………they had no idea, i chatted with the owner, nice chap, we had a laugh about it afterwards…….i asked if he had any disgruntled employees or ex wives he had forgotten about? (no offense intended ladies, I had one myself once……but that’s another story about a hateful creature that resides under a stone bridge)! Anyhow, the cheque we handed to the local police dept in town, nothing they can really do but I suggested they could contact the admin at Letgo see if this Barrett guy left any sign in details etc? Doubtful though.

The ages old moral stands true today more than ever guys……..”If it seems Too good to be True” I know we struggle more than ever in a world gone mad these days, to make ends meet and provide as best we can. As much as passion can override good sense, and the what if’s are prevalent……..go with your first instinct with anything like this…….if your gut gives you that sinking feeling, Trust that feeling and protect you and yours.

These scamners have Zero right to take what you have rightfully earned, or from anyone else either, business owners are no different, they struggle like the rest of us. Stay vigilant folks, look after yourselves and your loved ones, and each other.

As for me! Well im off to dress up as Batman and stand on the edge of my couch keeping a watchful eye for trouble!

I received these by priority mail today. I find it very disheartening that when I ask the police how I can report this scam I was told that if there was no personal loss to me, there was no crime. I feel bad for the people that are not as synical as myself and fall for it. I googled all the info I could from this letter, none of this exists. The phone numbers go to voice mail. The people that follow the instructions on the letter have now given the criminals all their banking info. It’s shameful.

I always receive these emails and I politely DELETE. I already know it’s a scam and know better . There is no easy money , only effort and hard work. There may be some who are legit, however every company will have access to their company site and you will be able to findo them on a google search. Also, companies with job opportunities use a professional format, with header, links, company discretion, not to mention due to employement laws and equal opportunity guidelines all applications and affirmative action voluntary information will always be through a separate link to complete. This is federal policy in America for fair employment all companies must follow through the application process. I wish they would not have access to my email so much! ?

Anyway stay informed, rational, and use critical thinking skills. These people are looking for you to be boo boo the fool!

Dang, I almost fell for this scam! They were very persistent in pushing me along with texts and even phone calls. After I got the $2935 check, they really wanted me to confirm deposit in my bank. So, they called me twice and when I called them back, a man with an accent answered on a bad telephone line. He asked me if I have deposited the check and I said no. “Why” he responds. Then he got defensive when I asked for more info on the company. Finally, I thought SCAM (and feel stupid).

I got an email and a money order, it seemed fishy when they asked mye to cash a money order and send money back, that’s crazy

February 12, 2017 at 11:21 pm

I got two letters from them. I did not even sign up, but the second letter said I did!! I wonder what is their purpose? going through so many steps, using UPS and fake checks all takes money. If they succeed, what profit is there for them ? just our personal information? that is not very economical.

I found a similar thing on craigslist so I sent the email with my name and address and such and then received something in the mail today. I immediately knew it was a scam… The address on the package is a Construction company in North Hollywood, CA and the check came from Baton Rouge, LA. They are texting people now too and the number they text me from was from OH. Seriously. How twisted can you get. I also looked up the financial institution the bank was “cut” from and the bank is legit but I looked up the routing number and it is different, plus the account is only 9digits instead of 10 like the website shows it should have.

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN and pay attention to what you are willing to do 🙂

I Lost my Money to scammers but not anymore Well, who would have believed this. When I saw a comment by one Allison babara, I thought it was one of the Scammers ways to convince someone. Looking at his comment, I saw an element of doubt since he was telling stories. Well I did it 50/50 which means I can’t lose my money to any scammer again. I contacted the email on the testimony of Allison Babara ( [email protected] ) and I was replied immediately. I was shocked but I didn’t lose my stand. I asked them to give me proof to be sure they are not scammers like others that I have met before and they sent me a proof. Then I requested to get my card which they sent to me in Germany in just 3 days. Am happy now because I have recovered my cash I lost to scammers. My first withdrawal was $10,000 and I couldn’t believe my eyes until I confirmed their word which says that I can withdraw up $63,000 in a month. WorldblankatmSolution are real because I got my? card in just 3 days when I requested for one. Contact their mail ( [email protected] ) for yours. They didn’t scam me. Morris mabel is my name and if you are scared, please reach me through my mail [email protected]

Hi, My name harry Dickson and i just want to share my experience with everyone. I have being hearing about this blank ATM card for a while and i never really paid any interest to it because of my doubts. Until one day i discovered a hacking guy called harry Dickson. he is really good at what he is doing. Back to the point, I inquired about The Blank ATM Card. If it works or even Exist. They told me Yes and that its a card programmed for random money withdraws without being noticed and can also be used for free online purchases of any kind. This was shocking and i still had my doubts. Then i gave it a try and asked for the card and agreed to their terms and conditions. Hoping and praying it was not a scam. One week later i received my card and tried with the closest ATM machine close to me, It worked like magic. I was able to withdraw up to $3000. This was unbelievable and the happiest day of my life. So far i have being able to withdraw up to $28000 without any stress of being caught. I don’t know why i am posting this here, i just felt this might help those of us in need of financial stability. blank Atm has really change my life. If you want to contact them, Here is the email address ( [email protected] ) And I believe they will also Change your Life

December 6, 2016 at 7:46 pm

Beware, I was texted to verify my address to be a secret shopper. They had my cell number and address… once I got a check for over $8000, I called the bank on the check and I found out immediately that the check was Fake! Today I received an instruction letters from MSG Shoppers with a US Postal Office money order for $981 and a text to verify I received the priority mail envelope (they are tracking their scams to their victims through priority mail…which adds legitimacy to their scam). I am reporting to the post office tomorrow and may file a complaint with local police. I realized it is a scam but the counterfeit check and money order are excellent fakes but the backs do not have watermarks or other marking usually found on the backs….

so i did some research. The lady who sent the the email (Melinda Campbell) was scam artist with a trucking company. The 2 people that i am supposed to send the money grams to exist but story’s dont add up. Michael Hastings was a journalist that passed away in 2013 due to a car accident and Marcus Robertson is a Famous football player for the Raiders. I also google street viewed the address that sent me the mail… its a empty lot. No home or driveway is in this address. Thank god i did my research before i put this check into my account!

I plan on sending the check back to Wave, but I want talk to them about what they want me to do. PLEASE DO NOT CASH THAT CHECK ! I wish I knew what else to do to stop these jerks (nice word). Nancy

I have received one from mystery shopper division 21 The guys name i was to call was Alex Rogers. I stupidly cashed the cheque i had received also because it looked so real and 2 employees at the bank had even said it was real.

January 16, 2017 at 1:24 am

What ended up happening? What were the repercussions?

January 16, 2017 at 12:25 pm

the cheque turned out to be fraudulant so I got stuck paying all the money back to my bank that i had used for the mystery shopping assignment. in total I had to pay back $2500 which made things alot more stressful then what they already were.

Email I received yesterday, with two attachments (couldn’t post here). One was the full instructions of what I will be doing and who I will be sending the money. The second was the “evaluation form” for Wal Mart and Money Gram. I knew this was a scam immediately, no company would EVER tell you to send money grams. I also called the credit union listed on the check and confirmed it was a fake check but also wanted to more so let them know about the scam with their name on it. The lady told me a bunch of their checks were stolen a while back and they’re still circulating…. She said one more fake check won’t make any difference and there wasn’t anything else I could do to report this. They also spelled my name wrong on the check which is hilarious to me. I just sent them an email back trying to mess with them asking them to send me a new check so I can complete the task as quickly as possible and do more work for them! I’m going to drag this out, have them spend as much money on priority mail shipping as I possibly can and see how far I can take it with messing with these people. Will update!

This is a confirmation that you can deposit the funds you received for your first assignment. The Payment you received covers all expenses including evaluation, shopping and your compensation for this survey. Deposit the check via Mobile Deposit, ATM or Bank for clearance, cash will be 100% available Immediately or 24 HRS, commence your first assignment as soon as funds is available:

ATTACHED WITH THIS EMAIL IS YOUR CUSTOMER EVALUATION INSTRUCTIONS AND CUSTOMER EVALUATION FORM. KINDLY READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

N.B. Add this email to your Email contact list, to ensure all our emails gets to your inbox.

Hi Dave! I knew it was a scam right off the bat but even still I called the bank to ask about the validity of the check and to report it. They said it was fake and they knew about it, nothing they could do about it. But I really wanted to mess with these people so I wrote take an email back saying they miss spelled my first name so I could not deposit the check ask them to send a new one with the correct spelling (trying to get them to waste as much time and money on certified/priority mail as possible) but shockingly they never responded to me! I’ll just end up shredding everything and continue to post on websites like this/my own Facebook to warn people! I don’t know what else to do to report them!

August 22, 2016 at 4:54 pm

I received this email message and the same message in a text today, 8/22/2016. I have no idea how they got my cell number.

Update!? (in subject line)

Melvin Churchill ( [email protected] ) 8:43 AM From Melvin Churchill ( [email protected] ) Sent:Mon 8/22/16 8:43 AM To:

Hello, this message is to inform you that the payment and instruction guide for you to conduct the Walmart/Kroger survey assignment you applied for online will be delivered in your mailbox today via USPS. You are required to pick up the package in your mailbox today and proceed further with the enclosed instruction. I will be awaiting your response with the completed survey report. Thanks for your anticipated co-operation.

HR Dept. Melvin Churchill ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I also received today, 8/22/2016, what looked like a Priority Mail envelope with a letter from National Shopping Service Network. It’s a long letter and since it’s a hard copy, there is no way to copy and paste it here. What it boils down to is: They sent me a “certified” check for $2,455 (from WOODFOREST National Bank in The Woodlands, Tx) and told me I was “required” to cash or deposit it in my bank account, then wait for the funds to be available the next day for withdrawal. Then I was told to visit the closest Walmart store and purchase FOUR $550 Kroger reload vouchers. After doing this, they “expected” me to scratch the silver panel on the vouchers and send them the reload voucher reference numbers. (Does Walmart even sell Kroger Reload Vouchers?)

I knew it was a scam before I even googled the company. No one sends that amount of money to someone they don’t know. Sure, I’d love to have the money, but there is no way I would even think of depositing that fake check into my bank account. I hope and pray no innocent/naive people fall for this scam. These scammers seem to contact people they know are low income and who they think would jump at the chance of having that amount of money. I will be reporting the email, text, hard copy letter and check.

My advice is, if you don’t recognize the name of the person or the company, do not respond to them at all. Report any correspondence you receive and move on with your life.

September 4, 2016 at 12:14 am

I received nearly an identical letter (after the same emails and texts) with a $2955 check from Woodforest National Bank (I contacted the bank and gave them the check # and date of issue and it doesn’t exist in their system). I don’t understand how depositing this check into your account gives these scammers an open invitation to the funds in your account, but somehow it must. I just don’t get it. And what are we supposed to do with the Kroger reload vouchers (yeah, really, at Walmart!?) after buying them and evaluating the worker? Just send a photo of them to the assigned email address of [email protected] ? Then what? This is the stupidest scam I could imagine. Totally asinine. Oh, my HR manager was Bruce Mcintosh.

' src=

August 20, 2016 at 2:38 pm

Didn’t get an email, but actually a letter sent via USPS 2-Day Priority Mail with a check for $1,785.00 included. I recognized it immediately as a scam and actually have contacted the bank from whom the check was made from. Just really, really hate these kind of scams that prey on the needy. Ugh.

f you did, please post the email in the comments below if it is different than any of the ones shown above. Please remove any phone numbers or email addresses from the emails. As I believe these numbers are fake and are actually phone numbers of actual people that are not involved in all of this.

Well you can’t be sure about that.

In today’s world we can send a man to mars,but no ones seem to care or catch these people, who are making $0,000.00 of dollars. I was recently scam for lots of money. And I never seen it coming, because I was told by the unemployment office, that I could sign up on line for unemployment, So I did try, but it wasn’t worth. So right after that, I started getting job offers to discourage me from drawing unemployment. Some how these people are able to hack in to the unemployment system, to get people E-Mail Address. So you see, I would have never suspect anything. But I will tell you that this secret shopper scam was better than any of the ones you have posted. No one seem’s to care to stop this. So I see no reason to share my E-mail assignment scam. Until the number’s of people that are getting scam, reach a higher number,maybe then someone will take the time to track them down. After all, I still think it is a crime to write bad checks.

I received an email forwarded to me about this secret shopper job. I emailed Brenda Atkins. She asked for my address and cell. I received a priority mail envelope with a cashier’s check for $1890 and some weird directions to purchase two $500 Vanilla Visa Cards and $15 of aspirin from Walgreens, etc. and take notes, as well as photos of cards. I deposited but sat on it before Googling and finding out similar scams. Sure enough, my bank returned check as counterfeit. Have filed reports with FTC and US Postal Service.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE????? Don’t believe anything coming into your emails, unless you know for sure, who they are, and what company they represent. Take a few moments to do research, by googling the email address or the companies name. I wouldn’t waste my time anyway, but at least YOU will know. If you want to be a secret shopper, then join the list of hundreds of people waiting for jobs like this.

These types of jobs, are usually set up by corporate of the companies themselves, not outside people. If it sounds to good to be true, it usually is a scam.

[email protected] – I believe to be another scam. When reading the body of the email, watch out for grammar/spelling, that usually tells you it’s a foreign place, which can lead to no good. It sounds like such an easy job, and by the way, the real companies pay $25 to $40 a shop, depending on the area, not $200-$300, that’s ridiculous.

I am to keep $125 for myself for each store I go to, so $250 for me, I am to take $100 and go to the assigned Wal-Mart Store, and then go to the assigned Lowes store where I am to meet up with another Mystery Shopper and give them some of the cash. He did say that I was to IMMEDIATE got to my bank and cash or deposit the check. I am also to send him a copy of the receipts from the stores and my deposit slip. I am thanking God I have my inner sceptic always going and have googled this before I git into it deeper.

I too was sent the proverbial letter; responded to the first email; and received the check which is now just sitting. I was stupid to involve myself to the tune of $4,000 once and the bank emptied my checking account of the money – I am now more cautious.

…but the other issue is that banks need to educate their tellers much better about these matters. My friend took the checks/money orders to the bank and even asked if they though they were legit. The teller just looked at them and said ‘well, they look ok to me…’ That was the wrong answer. Yeah, it’s not the bank’s job to police scammers, but because they are in the position to intercept the false checks, it would really be part of protecting their customers. One of my neighbors recently had someone at the Walmart service desk intervene on her behalf as she was trying to wire money to someone trying to scam her. Very decent of the employee. I called the store and thanked them for being so on the ball. ….and we thought Walmart was 100% evil (turns out only 99% 🙂 )

' src=

June 9, 2016 at 6:39 pm

It is walmart policy to detect and even deny to complete these kind of scams. As for walmart being evil I must disagree. y wife has been working there for 5 years +. She makes more well above min wage and gets paid personal time + paid vacation. When we became homeless due to my health walmart granted us two thousand dollars from their employee in need program. The store manager even brought us some groceries. Now does this sound like such an evil corp. My wife started as a cashier and transfer to customer service. She see these scams often. She comes home very exited when she is able to stop a customer from being taken advantage of.

April 10, 2016 at 7:15 pm

Actually, even if you have sent the money via wire, if they have not picked it up yet, you can get it reversed. You have to call Western Union and let them know to stop the order. This happened to a friend of mine a few years ago and when he told me what he had done, I was sick. We called Western Union and were luckily able to stop payment! And then the scammers actually had the nerve to call my friend later and ask why when they showed up to pick it up that he had canceled it!

DO NOT fall for this SCAM. It looks legit but it is not. The “red flags” I noticed were: 1) The letter sent has no letterhead from a company 2) The check is ALOT of money 3) I googled the address on the envelope – and it is a house, not a business 4) You get emails from so many different people (HR, Walter Anderson, Wal-Mart Coordinator)

Actually, they must have streamlined it a bit. I never responded to any of their requests, but they did get my name and address so it must have been from something other than a “secret shopper”. I just got a USPS Priority Mail package and in it was a $1999.00 Check, with the same type of instructions, take out my cut plus and additional amount for the Western Union fees, then send two Western Union check for xxx amount.

I got the dude so frustrated, it was quite entertaining. Of course I don’t have a day job so I have the time for such nonsense.

Hey, dude, could you go into a little detail of what happened? I got one of these OneVanilla assignments, and I want to try to collect on that 300 bucks…is there a way to actually make this work for you? Thanks!

January 12, 2016 at 11:43 pm

Only if you become a con man yourself because there’s no such thing as free money but if you open the bank account with a fake name and then told those people a fake name then cash the check..but them you’d get caught or do bit until you did. However if you want easy money I do know a way….

January 12, 2016 at 11:54 pm

What if I just took it to a check-cashing place?

January 13, 2016 at 1:15 am

They’ll have your ID and address man. You’really liable especially if you know it’s a bad check and especially especially if you ask about it in an online public forum. Lol. Besides, it’s not like you’D be stealing from criminals, you’d be stealing from whoever cashes the check and that’s not right. That’s like robbing the store owner on his way home. I can’t condone that.

I, too, received one of these e-mails and thought it was legit because it wasn’t filtered through gmail spam. So, I thought it was for a real ss position… wow, I feel stupid even letting them get my mailing address to send me their bogus cashier’s check. Today, I received a priority mail certified mail with contents inside of a Cashiers check from Fulton Bank for over $2800.00! At first, I thought maybe… then I decided to search google for some kind of scam involving this Western Union crap. It said to cash/deposit the CC into my bank (usually I cash checks written to me at the sender’s bank, not mine, so they clear right then and there) account. Well, there’s no Fulton Bank nearby or within anywhere near driving distance, so the only other choice would be to put it in my bank. But here’s another thing they didn’t bank on… I always wait for funds to clear completely before touching anything… and my bank would have noticed it right away even if it was seemingly a Cashiers Check. It had all the same verification methods as any other valid check or CC watermarks, and 13 verification processes and passed all of them. However, I called Fulton Bank to verify if it was a fake or real. They asked me what the check number was on the top right corner of the check and came back on the phone and told me that I was very smart to call and verify before attempting to deposit that CC because it was indeed a fake and I would have been held responsible for all of the withdrawn funds after it came back as fraudulent and by that time, the scammer would be long gone. Instructions said to take the CC, deposit it, it’ll clear within 24 hours, withdraw all of it, send 2500 of it to Istanbul, Turkey to some Bryan person, then immediately notify them by email of the MTCN. The return sender of the envelope said it was from Tina Silvestro, DR NH Jones Elementary School, 1930 Commerce Oak Ave, Orlando, Florida 32808 on the return address spot. Well, I’m personally pissed about this!!!! How in the hell do these people get away with doing this shit? Why put your return address in when you have to know its a fraud and scam? I decided to take further action. I am not rich nor even most times able to keep my head above water and people like this want to try and take what I don’t even have?? That pisses me off! I’m doing something about this and whoever’s involved, clear down to the sender of the envelope I am dragging into it. I looked up the address and name and found the Tina Silvestro in Orlando, FL. If she is involved in this scam, I think her employers and fellow LinkedIN folks should know about it as well. NTM everyone else. That’s the name I am starting with and going from there. People. check the return address of the package sent to you with the enclosed check, M/O, or CC and search the name and address with Google. See what you come up with. I found this person on LinkedIn and on Facebook. I even sent a msg on fb. Also, it could be that whoever really sent it randomly chose a name and address from the local directory and used it but even so, I think if it be the case, she should know what she is now involved in. And, if not, and she did send me this ignorant thief care package, she ought to be ashamed of herself! People with families and kids who work hard for nothing.. all to have it stolen away by some snake in the grass! Well, they were not counting on people like me to strike up a battle. I’m a little more clever than that. But, others may think this is legit and fall for it because they want to believe it’s real because of their current financial hardship. I actually wanted to screw with their heads make them think I did it and send a fake MTCN # and keep em’ going for a while just to play games, and don’t think I’ve blown it yet to still do it. The last email I sent back said, ” Darn, I must have just missed end of business today. Oh well, I guess it’ll have to wait until Monday then, I’m so sorry. I’ll get right on it first thing Monday AM.” Keep them waiting around at WU for as long as possible! Jerkoffs!

I received this in my email. I sent her me email, then thought, “uh-oh” and found this article. I then wrote her back with a link to this article and said, “no, don’t contact me again.” Then I kept getting emails, to which I would reply each time to take me off their list. THEN I got a check for $1750.00 in the mail, with the whole Western Union yadda yadda, and I tried to send it back to the address it came from, but Google Maps shows that address as – huge surprise! – an empty lot surrounded buy other empty lots! SO tomorrow I’m bringing it and all the emails to my police station.

Below is another scam similar to the ones which have recently surfaced. PLEASE do not fall for any of these. If you try and cash a fake money order, YOU can be arrested and charged. Happened to my brother, so yes, it can and does happen. Another reason to never share information in suspicious emails or over the internet.

I meant I got from MS not SS Solutions

November 9, 2015 at 7:49 am

The one I got was from SS Solutions not MS solutions from Dale Watcher.very forceful with me to see if I got my package or not. I got it and when I saw the amount I knew it was a scam from back in early 2000’s they tried this w my friend. She’s like well I’ll cash itcand spend it. She didn’t thank God or she would’ve been liable to pay back. Banks should get a list of these and have them up as alerts in the system and not cash them in the first place. Why do banks cash these in the first place? Usually banks hold checks thisvbig til they clear. So what happened

November 2, 2015 at 5:25 pm

For anyone reading: NO MS shop company is going to send you a check before work is completed. Getting people to deposit checks is an old scam. When you deposit it they get your account info. Naturally, these are not real mystery shopping companies that would do this.

If you are new to Mystery shopping just know that most shops pay between 10-15. Some are higher and some lower. But that is the average that I see.

Received a check and letter. Check was from Pudue Federal Credit Union. Got suspicious when the grammatical errors of this letter were clearly distinctive. Especially when the letter said “Most part of the funds go to charity.” Beware of these scams, as they are just trying to have you held liable for defrauding your own bank. And never accept money from a company or private person who doesn’t even send your instructions on a letter with company letterhead.

Sorry for getting back to you late. The delay is due to the number of applications we have to treat everyday. Count yourself lucky as your details have undergone background checks and have been processed. We received your mailing details in replication to our Survey/shopper job ad. Your job is to act like any customary customer and perform a mundane business transaction while you conduct a simple evaluation (without being noticed) and accumulate information about the quality of service by staff, customer service professionalism, comportment of staff and other issues at such locations.

Your survey evaluation will be on Walmart outlets / Western Union and M

oneyGram outlets. There have been reports about lapses in the services of their management and some of their staff. This evaluation is necessitated predicated on reports which their customers forwarded anonymously and phone calls, which were also made to the head office.

A package will be sent to you, inside the package you will find your Emolument payment of $200-$300 and other funds you will utilize to carry out your surveying process. The funds will be sent securely to your mailing address you have given down in form of a Check which you would cash at your bank and use for the assignment. You must not use your personal money to consummate any of the surveying processes and there will be no reimbursement of any kind since we are providing you with all the funds you will require to carry out the survey. However, you are allowed to use your personal money in a situation where you want to promptly accomplish your assignment if you are capable to do so as bonuses are paid for timely execution of assignments and it enhances new tasks to be designated to you expeditiously.

An Evaluation Instruction will be sent to you through email, this will tell you what to do at the store location and how to expend the funds at the location. I would optate you to give down a working cell phone number where you can receive text messages. Additionally, I would want you to state if you have done this kind of job before and what your experience was when you did it? You are also to confirm your mailing address and give down your apartment number if there is any, so there won’t be issues when the courier service wants to deliver the package with your payment.

Please note that you are to act Cool, Calm and Confident throughout the period which you will be carrying out your survey at the Outlets in order not to arouse any suspicion. Your swift response would be highly appreciated, replying with the Subject THIS IS ACKNOWLEDGED.

The Second is a Restaurant.

There has been reports about laps in the services of their Management and some of their staffs,the complaints were based on reports which their customers forwarded anonymously and Phone calls which were also made to the head office. The GREENDOT MONEYPAK top up cards location was reported for evaluation, Negligence for the following reasons:

I) Customers have reported their money missing

II) Slow services

III) Unbalanced transfer charges

(I) Poor services

(II) Rudeness to customers

(III) Excess charge

(IV) Late opening time and Closing before time.Your Secret Evaluation would be

1) To make a purchase of the GREENDOT MONEYPAK cards , and the cards will be scratched and emailed along with your report and evaluation of the store .

3) You would be sent a check/Money order which would cover your payment of $230 and also for the duty. As soon as you receive the check/money order, you would cash in at your bank, and deduct your $230 , and use the rest of the money for the services.

October 5, 2015 at 2:52 pm

The bank will come after you for the money. You will be held responsible for that money. It’s a fake cheque, no good will come of this. Don’t bother. Report it and rip it off. Block them from sending you anymore emails and warn your friends and family. My brother fell for it and they sent him a cheque for $3000.. he cashed it.. they said to keep 500 and Send them the $2500 which he did. And he got held reliable and had to pay back $3000 and if he didn’t he would have went to jail and been charged with fraud.

Oh I am so glad I found this website . I got the exact email and check from Donald Walker. ( (2925.00 to wire money 850.00 each time using 3 different methods). When I received the check I got a little uncomfortable like why am I using western union and money gram to this other person? I even emailed him and told him I was uncomfortable . And the emails were not professionally written. No company heading ,signatures or department title. So what do I do with the check ?is there somewhere to send them.? Because I definitely know it’s a scam. (Insert sarcastic laugh ? esp after reading these other stories. Man people have become very bold. Kuiana Ivy . (Currently looking for my emails ……..?

I am from Calgary, AB, Canada. I got this exact text message (from a Calgary area code), but the email was: [email protected]

I got another text from a different number (Edmonton area code), but the same exact message and the email was: [email protected]

I was interested and thinking about emailing them as I heard of secret shoppers in the restaurant I used to work at. I was assuming that is how they got my number. Micro was the name of the software we used for the computers to ring in orders, so it seemed legit. Good thing I looked it up! Thanks for posting!

Received an assignment that is definitely a scam and may be linked to a craigslist post: MONEYGRAM SURVEY/EVALUATION:

The total amount of the fund you have with you is $975.50.You will deduct your compensation payment of $200 then you proceed with your survey by patronizing the Money Gram services using our company feed-back mechanism, you will send funds through Money gram transfer service in order for you to survey there service, you will make transfer of $750.00 at the money Gram location, Transfer charges $25.00, final transfer amount $750.00

The reason for this survey is to curtail the lapses at the Money gram outlets, some Money Gram outlet have been reported several times for slow services, funds missing and unbalanced charges. We are evaluating the $750 mark below through Money Gram Service. You have to make the funds transfer at the Money Gram location of your choice for you to be able to evaluate their service.You will make the transfer back to us using our Logistics and Feedback Dept. information given to you below.

I make it a habit to to validate with the issuing bank any checks I receive just because of things like this. It is great that there is a place to share this information hopefully others become curious instead of blinded by the fast money checks from HELL. Thank you

July 10, 2015 at 10:57 am

Received two checks in the mail the most recent this month. I am concerned because they have also sent me emails stating how Unprofessional it is t to receive the check and not do the work……..lol scary. I have responded to the emails and text messages that I am not interested. Initially I just was not interested but because of their persistence I called the bank to verify the validity of the check. And of course its not any good. I also contacted BCC Research who they are using as a guise. My letters are very similar to the ones posted. I am supposed to send moneygram info to [email protected] the company info given is BCC Market Research U.S Office: 88 Broad St, Suite B15, New York , NY 10004, Contact Person: Mr Dennis Townsend

I had signed up off that email thinking that it was a legit secret shopper deal….. I received a check for $1250 written on the Wichita Federal Credit Union. I also received a letter with my assignment… walmart buy something for 25 bucks and send email with my report on service…. find a moneygram near me and send 2 chicks in the Phillipines $500 bucks each and donate the rest to American Diabetes Association…… and I was to keep $200 bucks off the top as my payment. I called the credit union it was drawn on and checked on the account number from the check. It is a valid account however it said it had insufficient funds for the check.

The one I got was from SS Solutions not MS solutions from Dale Watcher.very forceful with me to see if I got my package or not. I got it and when I saw the amount I knew it was a scam from back in early 2000’s they tried this w my friend. She’s like well I’ll cash itcand spend it. She didn’t thank God or she would’ve been liable to pay back. Banks should get a list of these and have them up as alerts in the system and not cash them in the first place. Why do banks cash these in the first place? Usually banks hold checks thisvbig til they clear. So what happened to that?!

Hartley Market International Shopper, no name, pays $255 us standard information requested. i have been through this before. when i received the mailed information the money order was for several hundred dollars more. the money order looked legit, but i suspected a scam. took it to my bank and sure enough it was a scam. never deposited money order. i wish we could prosecute these s.o.b.s with the death penalty. i live on disability income. if i had been naive enough to deposit the money order and do as instructed, i would have been wiped out financially with no hope of recovering. i probably would have wound up homeless as i have no savings or extra money set aside. i want these bastards prosecuted and the law does nothing about them. they ruin people lives or the ones naive enough to fall for the scam. this time i typed in hartley international market shopper and i found this website. beware. the internet can be treacherous if you are not cautious. definitely, don’t believe everything you read on the internet. unfortunately. i wish i could find a liegit mystery shopper as this would be a great part-time job for me.

Dear “Hartley Bianca”,

I hope your day is going great at “Office Recruiters”. You must be very busy filling these “Jobs” as there are so many stores that need evaluating, although it surprises me you would be in a position to be a job recruiter with such terrible English skills. Where is your office located and how did you get my email address? I don’t recall submitting for any jobs recently…but I do meet your requirements of being “18 Years old or above, ” “Can read and write English” (here’s a thought: perhaps I could also help you with your English skills! If you send me an additional $100-CASH ONLY we could start immediately!) and “No experience needed Like Shopping,” I am not entirely sure what you mean by this…did you mean there is no experience needed (but the person must) like shopping? Or did you mean there is no experience needed like (as in) shopping (so the person does not need shopping experience?) do you see how this could be a bit confusing?

Here is my information, I will wait for my first $20 to go shopping in my new part time job…please send the money in CASH ONLY as I do not accept fraudulent checks or money orders.

1. Name: Ucan T. Scamme 2 Your Address: 20 Liar Lane 3. Citys: Cheatsville States:NY Countrys: USA 4. Zip Codes: 06123 5. Phones: 1-234-567-8901 6. Ages: 25 7. Gender: Trans 8. E-Mail: [email protected]

Hello Heather,

We are very sorry for our lack of mails, On behalf of Mystery Shopper’s management. Please if you’re still interested and ready to start your first assignment concerning the job offer, we kindly reminder you of your task which you must run a survey on 3 prominent companies in your area.

1st is a Courrier Service Company 2nd a Restaurant 3rd a Western Union Location

There has been reports about lack in the services of their management and some of their staffs, the complaints were based on reports which their customers forwarded anonymously and Phone calls which were also made to the head office. The Western union location was reported for evaluation, Negligence for the following reasons:

I) Poor services II) Rudeness to customers IV) Excess charge V) Late opening time and Closing before time.

Your Secret Evaluation would be

1) To make a transfer of funds from this western union location to our Mystery shopper, and the funds would be picked up by another mystery shopper at the exact location Which a customer reported her funds missing.

3) You would be sent a USPS money order which would cover your payment of $200 and also for the duty. As soon as you receive the USPS money order, you would cash in at your bank, and deduct your $200.00, and use the rest of the money for the services.

4) Upon receiving the funds, the locations address would be forwarded to you, and also the Name and address of whom the Mystery shoppers transfer would be made to. You would have to keep a comprehensive report on every activity you carry out.

5) You would also provide me with the name of the cashier that attended to you. Please, confirm to me that you did received this message so that the USPS money order can be sent out to you ASAP.

6)We can also ask you to purchase some items from a nearby shopping outlet’s from the USPS money order send to you and send it’s through a faster Courrier service company to the giving address provide to you by the Mystery Shopper as well.

Not sure if these pics of the check show up so sorry if they don’t.

June 4, 2014 at 5:56 pm

Happened to me too, except I was smart enough to call the bank where the check came from and speak to a live person who confirmed to me that the cashier’s check I was sent is fake. I’ve included the pictures of what I received after replying to their email with an interest. Don’t fall for it, if you have any concern or skepticism at all call the bank where the check came from and ask them to verify it for you. Do not try to verify the check using a check verification phone number even if it’s from the bank. The only way to truly check if it’s valid is to speak with a rep. If they ask for an account number in order to speak with a rep you can use the one on the check and then explain to them why you are calling. The bank is very helpful and will allow you to catch the scam before you do anything written in the “mystery shop” instructions.

Just got this, did a quick google because it smelled fishy. What bugs me is that I still get this kind of thing, direct copy paste with a name change, from time to time. I seem to be the target of the most pathetic scams… including a “free trip” from american airlines in which the mailed letter appeared completely homemade on somebody’s personal computer.

It is a tad insulting.

Yea, I got so many of these emails and it was only now that I bothered googling it. It does seem fishy, they ask for a lot of information

The scam is now centered on using fake company checks that the receiver is supposed to cash. Our company, Omni Instruments, has appeared in several of these fake checks for the amount of around $2400 USD. The account number and routing number are correct, however the check of course will not cash. Actually the last person to call us regarding these checks was a bank and there next call was the police, I felt sorry for the innocent person at the other end trying to cash it 🙁

June 5, 2013 at 11:56 am

I actually recieved an email like this. I had applied for a Call Center job, and it turned out to be this scam. I had already had this happen before, The last one was for a personal assistant, I got the check in the mail, but of course prior to this, red flags were going up and I turned the check into the police. So, I got a check in the mail from these people for $2480.22. I already knew it was a scam, but the one thing that should and did bring red flags up with this situations, is that the return sender is a Salon company in Texas. On the check though it was supposedly issued from The Bank of New York (They don’t even go by that name anymore it’s New York Mellon) and it was from a guitar and soundworks repair show in Newburgh NY….I kinda laughed at this, Especially when the guy (He said his name was Robert Hackman) told me to go to the walmart moneygram and review the customer reps there and send the money.

I have NEVER sent money to anyone I don’t know. The only two people I wire money to is my mom and sis. Just remember ladies and gents, if you don’t know the people you’re wiring the money to, don’t do it. Also, remember that if it was a legitimate job, they would NOT send you a substantial amount of money in the mail without even knowing you.

EVALUATE LLC. these guys sent me not one but TWO checks, each for 1950.00. smelled like fish right from the beginning. they really gave it away when they said they preferred an ATM deposit over talking to a teller. plus they didn’t send me any paperwork or hiring info. i tore up their checks and threw them away. been almost a week now and i’m still getting emails about how I’M a scammer, they’re going to blacklist me, local authorities have been alerted, their lawyers will be contacting me soon, etc. it’s all bullshit. if you get anything from EVALUATE LLC delete it immediately.

Top of the day to you, Your first mystery shopping assignment has been mailed to you and would be delivered to your address by Tuesday Morning (APRIL 16TH 2013) This package contains your first mystery shopping assignment package that contains a money order which covers your allowance for your evaluation service worth $150 for this first survey.

You are to cash the money order at your bank, or deposit it if necessary, to cash the next morning. When cashing the money order at your bank, kindly take note of the following:

1. Bank Name and Address: 2. Name of the cashier: 3. Smartness and professionalism of the cashier: 4. Duration for completion of service:

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Your identity should be kept confidential for all evaluation, as the job defines (Secret Shopper). You should not let the cashier know you are performing a customer service evaluation, as this may not give an accurate result.

After cashing the money order at your bank, deduct your $150 commission from the funds and an extra $50 to purchase any product of your choice from the Wal-Mart store closest to you for a second evaluation. Observe and report of the following;

1) The name and address of store evaluated. 2) Product purchased and cost. 3) Customer service professionalism. 4) Your comments and impression about the store in general.

Proceed to the nearest Money Gram Money Transfer location (which is usually in the WalMart store) to perform the last mystery shopper evaluation. This should be carried out at any outlet location closest to you to find out about their customer service delivery by their staff and also involves the evaluation of their local money in minutes transfer services. The transfer charges should be deducted from the outstanding balance. However, the transfer should be made to the next mystery shopper for money transfer pick up evaluation:

First Name:SUSAN Last Name:ISON Adress:701 Pope St City: TROY State: OH 45373

Once again do not inform the Money Gram personnel you are performing a customer service evaluation as this may not give accurate result. In conducting your evaluation, you might be asked if you know or have ever seen who you are sending the money to as a security measure because of the amount in question. Your answer should be: YES.

Upon completing the Money Gram Money Transfer, kindly email the following details with reference to the evaluation and transaction;

1. Money Gram location and address? 2. Name of the customer service attendant who attended to you? 3. Smartness and professionalism of the customer service attendant? 4. How long it took to get the service finalized? 5. Sender’s full name and address as written on the receipt for the evaluation? 6. Receiver’s full name and address as written on the receipt for the evaluation? 7. Total amount sent in US Dollars?

8. Money Gram charge/fee for amount sent? 9. 8 digits Money Gram Transfer Reference Number for the evaluation? 10. Were you satisfied with their services?

You are to email your evaluations and observations to:

[email protected] and [email protected] for review. We look forward to receiving your evaluation reports. Best of luck. Admin Officer. 661) 243-0079.

some guy named, Stephen Duncan emailed me about this “mistery Shopper” job and told me to go to any western union for my first assignment. After I did the task and send the money at some guy to the philippines. Unfortunately, I didn’t do a research before I did this “mistery Shopper” thing. i cashed out the money order to my bank and now I ended up losing $800 on my personal money. as a person living paycheck to paycheck, I got amused about it and thought about it as an extra income. I can’t afford to lose any penny. please help me. is there any way that I could do to get my money back?

Hi I received an email like this from [email protected] Is this for real? Normally gmail advises when the email is not real. This time i gives me no alert …

March 9, 2013 at 11:09 am

Gmail will let you know when they know for sure. The problem is, this scam keeps changing so fast, even gmail is not able to keep up with it.

Yes, it is a scam. Some of the things that makes it stand out is the fact that you never applied to be in a secret shopper program, they want to send money back and forth between you and them and that it matches what so many others have already seen as a scam.

Secret shopper programs are VERY hard to get into. For them to just randomly send you something should be the biggest red flag.

i got one of those emails , sent them my address only and a week later a cheque for 3000 euros turned up. they advised me to put it in the bank and keep 10% and send the rest on..

March 9, 2013 at 11:11 am

Don’t put it in the bank. Instead, destroy the check. If you put it in the bank, it will bounce back as a false check in a week or so and you can be charged with using bad checks, at least in the US. Not sure on the laws in UK for trying to fool a bank.

This is Western Union Secret shopper. Name: Marcus Mamolen 3820 Del Amo Blvd #304 Torrance CA 90503 76-666-9309 which directs you to 876-446-6780. After no answer he called back and asked us if we deposited the money in our bank. We said we don’t have a bank we will use the check cashing place. He said ok, give him a call when it done. Check cashing place, PLS CHECK CASHING, they said the money orders are counterfeit, voided them, and wanted to keep the ID, but gave it back because we are regular customers. I spent hours on the internet researching the money orders and the phone numbers, addresses, and email. [email protected] . could not find it on AOL nor SEARCHES.

I actually am a mystery shopper so when I received the email regarding this mystery shop and the texts, I knew from the get go it was a scam. All of the legit mystery shops will never have you do a money transfer, and there is no way you will make so much in 1 shop.

Yep, I just got a copy of this (actually I got two identical copies of it, a few seconds apart). Was immediately obvious it was *some* form of scam, but less immediately obvious what sort of scam it was; thanks for the info! (I was tempted to start responding with various throwaway emails giving various nonexistent mailing addresses so the guy would have to waste actual physical stamps and then time picking up all the bounced packages he sent… but I’m way lazy, and that sounds like work.

Thank you for this article, I just received an email with same info I decided to look it up and your article was the first I found, thank you

October 24, 2012 at 2:39 pm

Hey thats different than they have been sending. Sounds like they are trying to switch up things.

' src=

October 23, 2012 at 11:56 pm

Everyone should let them send the money order and we can make them spend money sending fake money orders! Ha! (Just don’t try to cash it obviously)

' src=

October 23, 2012 at 8:05 pm

Yes, I think I just got taken. Wish I would have done research before cashing the money orders for $1790 through my bank and depositing 200 in my acct. I still have $90 and the money I depoosited in my acct. They wanted me to wire the money to Lisa J. Nelson in the Phillipines. Greet America Inc. contacted me by email. I gave my personal information to Nancy Braswell, Carl Rak and John Peters sent me the money orders.

October 24, 2012 at 2:36 pm

Make sure you do not wire the money. If you have not sent the money out yet, then you have not lost your money yet. I would contact your bank and let them know what happened…maybe they can help you out?

October 22, 2012 at 8:50 pm

I recieved a email but mines said they were offering me a position as a Personal assistant. However, the name and email of the sender was Melinda Reyes and [email protected] . That alone seemed a little fishy to me so I decided to do some research before going any further and I found this article along with all of these victims. Guess I made the right choice! 🙂 by the way sorry about your losses!!

October 24, 2012 at 2:40 pm

No worries, I have not lost anything. I have an email address where I try to catch these scams and post them on here for everyone to find, in hopes of saving them from falling for the scam. Looks like for the most part, I have been able to save many!

October 20, 2012 at 2:36 am

Also, I wanted to see who got the biggest checks…my check was for $1970.00…I see some of you guys have checks over $2k.

Is there ANY way to cash these checks and get the money or should I have mine framed?

October 24, 2012 at 2:42 pm

Have it framed, or better yet, burn it. They are fakes. If you attempt to cash it, knowing its a scam, you may get in trouble with your bank for knowingly cashing a bad check. At least you got them to waste their time and mail you a check lol

October 20, 2012 at 2:17 am

WoW…I too almost became a victim of this international scam this week. I thought it was a legit operation initially, but after I received the check and noticed that the check number was number 2, I thought I’d better do some more research.

We got the info in the mail really fast with the phony check inside so I was throwing red flags up immediately. We traced the phony shipping label back to Colorado eventhough the label said it was from Texas.

Pretty clever scam this is…..I wanna know how to get in on it!! Lol

I think we should all get together and submit info to get a fake check as a souvenir to show these masterminds that we will spread the word. These people are on Craigslist now so beware!

October 24, 2012 at 2:43 pm

Oh wow, did not know about the secret shopping scam on craigslist now. They are getting desperate!

I recieved an email and like a dummy I fell for it. I just got my letter and monet order through USPS. The money order was for $2680.00 USD. I am to keep $500.00 go to Walmart and spend $70.00. Send the rest to the Phillipines and send in a report. My contact is [email protected] . No phone #, no address, No business heading on the letter. The letter was signed Sincerely, Management.

October 14, 2012 at 10:22 am

Another scam. DO NOT CASH MONEY ORDERS USING YOUR BANK ACCOUNT!!! YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE for the fake money order!!! Fed Ex. & Western Union shops are fake!! The US Postal service money orders are fakes too. No one pays $200 for a shopping experience. I do this for a living!!!

October 24, 2012 at 2:45 pm

Good advice. I think I am going to put this on the top of my article in BOLD.

I received one from Iis stating I would receive $200.00(to cash at my bank) to do 2 assignments at my leisure. To deduct my pay from however much they send. Stated no ammount. Asked for my name,adress and ,phone number. I emailed them back asking for a website or number to make sure they are legit and got an instant respone giving a transit number and was told I can contact customer service at 3 different 2 digit numbers while I await for a response to my query.

I nearly fell into this trap… I have answered similar email sent by and today I received a check for $1937.95 drawn from supposed account on Wells Fargo Bank. I tell you this check could have fooled me. Anyway, finding it strange someone sending me this much money, did some research Google found out all this scam information and ended up here. Company name United Shopper Inc. The letter of instructions accompany check had a very cheap looks to it. What spooky me most was BBB accredited stamp on it, and BBB has no records of such company.

I was to send email after depositing check to JEF at [email protected] but letter was signed by Amanda Young PhD-Accountant General for United Secret Shopper Inc Communication & Human Resources

I recieved a check and instructions in the mail about the secret shopping. I was asked to keep $300 and send 2 large amounts via western union. I did some research online about the company and called the bank that issued the check. The banks location didn’t match the location on the check. She asked me to fax over a copy of the check. I also checked the address of the company that was on the check and it came out to be a shopping plaza in Georgia. So Im telling others please research first before cashing and doing anything because it will cost you twice as much.

I have recently been contacted by a Ben Merkus, Beth Aldridge and a Lyman White. All these have been the names on email accounts and the Lyman White texted me. I have saved most if not all emails and phone numbers. I have also recieved two checks from these people and started to test their patience and had to set them straight. I am going to send an email today asking for no further contact and if they do not listen then I will be going to the authorities with everything I saved. I don’t need to post my emails because they are all pretty much the same as someone has already listed above or below! Just be smart like I was and always ask questions if you aren’t 100% comfortable with something and do research. And always, ALWAYS, try to use common sense. If you get mail from one place and the check inside is from a different name and location all together….STOP!!!!! Stupid scammers need a lesson in scamming evidently!

I suggest playing with them using a disposable email address. Tell them you’re extremely interested and need more information. Tell them you’ve cashed the phony money order and will then send the rest WesternUnion. I suggest finding out what a WU tracking number looks like and give a fake number to them.  They’ll get all excited and make a run to the nearest WesternUnion office.  At the very least, you have wasted their time!  Good hunting!

I’ve been scammed before with another person so I’m very careful.now.Lost my bank account because of it now I can’t do business with any bank.

Ya they think they are slick. But I am not stupid, They are very crafty but they send you a money order by mail and then want you to send one by western union?! That doesnt make any since in the first place, plus they will text you asking if you recieved it yet rather than call, and if you try to call them no one will answer. The number that texted me was 720-685-6006 and the “Head of Recruitment was James Freeman from SS-Network. I was supposed to send the money to Ludy Abdee in Metro, Manila 1630 in the philippines. Just to let anyone else know. I feel sorry for those who do not investigate this before they fall for it.

Just this week I received an email from some random place that said I had been selected to be a mystery shopper. I knew this was a scam but I had nothing to lose, right? So within a week they sent me a package explaining the terms and a check for $7585.00. They wanted me to take the check to my bank and deposit it and withdrawl $7000 the next day, in cash and keep the remaining money, my fee of $500 for doing this. They wanted me to purchase 14 “reload cards”, and add $500 per card and then send them the PIN numbers and photos of those cards. I certainly wasn’t going to my bank in fear that my account could be ruined, so I took this check to 3 different banks and tried to open up a new account. Each bank ran the check for verification and I was told that the check could not be verified, and that none of the banks would allow that. So up until this point, the individual that I was in contact with from this scam had been hounding me to get the check deposited and when I sent an email back to this person I haven’t heard another word from them. Be on guard, this scam is a new way for them to get that money, if you are solicitated and asked to purchase these “reload cards”, don’t do it. They must think we’re stupid in the USA. Luckily, the banks are all aware of this also. Each bank I went to started asking me a lot of questions like “do you personally know this person’s signature” or “did they ask you to send them money”, and that the check’s number isn’t a validated number. So I didn’t lose anything by this scam. I had to try to get that check cashed just to make sure it was a scam in the first place. So buyer beware!

Walmart Secret Shopper: Is It a Scam and How to Spot Fake Offers

If you‘ve received an unsolicited offer to become a secret shopper for Walmart, it‘s a scam. Walmart does not currently employ mystery shoppers or send checks to customers to make undercover purchases. Ignore any invitation to get paid for evaluating Walmart stores – it will end up costing you!

In this guide, we‘ll break down how Walmart secret shopper scams work, provide tips to avoid being defrauded, and explain how to find legitimate mystery shopping opportunities. Let‘s unravel the mystery and secrets behind fake Walmart shopping offers!

What is Mystery Shopping and How Does it Work?

Mystery shopping (also called secret shopping) is a practice used by many reputable companies to evaluate their customer service and retail experiences. Businesses hire mystery shoppers to pose as everyday customers, purchase products, test services, and provide detailed reports on their experiences.

For many major chains and franchises, mystery shopping provides unbiased insight into their operations – it allows them to see their stores through the eyes of real shoppers. Mystery shoppers give feedback from a regular customer‘s perspective that employees may filter if they know they are being evaluated.

Here are some key things to know about legitimate mystery shopping programs:

Mystery shoppers are reimbursed for purchases and also paid for their time spent evaluating services. Compensation typically ranges from $8 to $20 per assignment.

Shops usually take 30 minutes to a few hours. Shoppers take notes or complete survey reports about cleanliness, product availability, employee courtesy, waiting times, and other factors.

Shoppers never have to pay out of pocket. Reimbursement happens after the visit via check, gift card, or PayPal deposit.

Most companies require shoppers to have smartphones with photos/videos capabilities. Mystery shoppers take timestamped pictures to document their visits.

Reliable transportation, availability on short notice, and strong observation skills are key requirements mystery shoppers need.

Legit providers don‘t charge registration fees. Signing up directly via a company‘s shopper application is always free.

Mystery shopping provides flexible part-time work. Shoppers can choose jobs that fit their schedule and shopping/dining preferences.

In 2021, there were estimated to be over 60,000 mystery shoppers working in the US and Canada, completing over 2 million audits annually. For savvy shoppers, it can prove a fun, convenient side gig. Just beware of scams pretending to offer such opportunities!

Walmart Does Not Have a Secret Shopper Program

Walmart directly states on their website that they do not currently use mystery shoppers to evaluate their stores. Shoppers also will not find information about becoming a secret shopper on Walmart‘s official employment page.

So any offers you receive recruiting you as a Walmart secret shopper are fraudulent, no matter how convincing they may seem. Walmart does not initiate contact with customers to hire mystery shoppers.

In fact, Walmart actively warns customers about these prevalent impersonation scams and stresses that they do not send potential secret shoppers checks to make undercover purchases at their stores.

Scam Tactics: How the Walmart Secret Shopper Fraud Works

Scammers send out emails or texts pretending to recruit recipients to become Walmart mystery shoppers. These messages often:

Falsely claim to be from Walmart corporate divisions like "Walmart Customer Management"

Request help evaluating in-store experiences, products, cleanliness, and employee courtesy

Include a fake check issued by "Walmart" and instruct recipients to deposit it into their bank account

Direct shoppers to use those deposited funds to make wire transfers via Western Union or MoneyGram back to the scammers

Demand personal information like bank account and Social Security numbers to "set up payment"

By the time banks discover the checks are fraudulent, the scammers have already pocketed the wired money and disappeared. The victims are then left owing the bank the amount of the fake check plus penalties and fees.

Some versions skip the check altogether and simply ask for your sensitive information upfront to directly access and drain your accounts.

These exploits are possible because banks makes check funds available to consumers within days, but it can weeks for fake checks to actually bounce. Scammers leverage this policy to make victims believe they legitimately had money from Walmart to spend.

Below are examples of actual scam emails received by Walmart customers:

Subject: Walmart Survey Group – Customer Service Evaluations

Dear Valued Customer,

You have been selected to participate in our secret shopper program! We need customers like you to provide feedback that will help improve our stores.

Please evaluate our locations at [fake walmartsurveygroup.com link]. We have issued you an advance check to use for your assignment purchases. Let us know your experience!

Thanks, Walmart Survey Group

Subject: Part-Time Job Opportunity – WalMart Survey Secret Shopper

Congratulations, you have been selected to be a secret shopper in Walmart stores! We will send authorization checks to certified shoppers to purchase products for evaluation.

Please provide your name/address and bank information to get started! Training will begin soon.

Regards, Jacob Watson Walmart Survey Department

Red Flags of a Walmart Secret Shopper Scam

Watch out for these common indicators that a "job offer" is really a scam attempt:

Emails from non-Walmart addresses like @walmartsurveygroup.com

Fake positions and departments like "Walmart Customer Management Division"

Misspellings and poor grammar

Requests for personal information like bank accounts and SSNs

Outdated Walmart logo use and branding

Links to sketchy third-party websites controlled by scammers

Pressure to act fast or risk "losing" the opportunity

Why Do People Fall for Walmart Secret Shopper Scams?

What compels otherwise savvy folks to fall for offers that are clearly too good to be true? Here are some of the psychological motivators scammers exploit:

Consumer Addiction – The idea of free money to shop triggers a dopamine rush, overriding critical thinking. Victims neglect glaring red flags.

Social Proof – Fake "you‘ve been selected" messaging suggests others have accepted. People let their guard down.

Comparison Shopping – Fear of missing out on a lucrative opportunity clouds judgement about risks.

Confirmation Bias – Scam emails use Walmart branding cues that shoppers associate with legitimacy.

Authority Bias – Invoking authority figures like "Walmart Management" encourages blind trust.

Curiosity – Interest in an intriguing opportunity for easy cash impairs risk assessment.

Greed – Desire to capitalize on a chance for big, quick rewards leads to overlooking warning signs.

Scammers know how to craft offers tailored to people‘s motivations and weaknesses. Understanding these psychological drivers makes us less susceptible when approached.

Real-Life Victim Stories

To make the threats posed by Walmart secret shopper scams more real, here are examples of the financial and legal troubles victims faced:

Mary K. of Missouri – Lost $5,200 after depositing a fake check and wiring funds back to scammers pretending to be Walmart. Her bank held Mary responsible for the entire amount plus fees.

James C. of Florida – Scammers stole James‘ identity along with $8,500 from his accounts after he provided his SSN and bank info to become a "Walmart shopper."

Linda G. of Oklahoma – Fell for a Walmart shopping scam while between jobs during COVID. With her accounts drained, Linda struggled to make rent and afford groceries.

Chris W. of California – Suffered $11,300 in losses after receiving 10 fraudulent checks over 2 years. Chris battled anxiety and his bank closed his account.

Michelle P. of Michigan – Lost her trusted 18-year bank relationship after depositing 3 bounced checks totaling $7,000. Michelle‘s credit score also took a 100 point hit.

These stories illustrate how Walmart shopping scams exploit trust and devastate people‘s livelihoods and reputations. Stay vigilant to avoid ending up in similar circumstances!

How to Protect Yourself from the Walmart Secret Shopper Scam

Here are some best practices to avoid being defrauded:

Remember, Walmart does not pay customers upfront to make mystery purchases. Any check you receive is guaranteed to be fraudulent.

🚩 Red Flag Checklist

🚫 Click links or call phone numbers in suspicious emails

How to Report Walmart Secret Shopper Scams

Here is a template complaint letter you can customize to report fake Walmart secret shopper offers:

Agency Name

Agency Address

RE: Walmart Secret Shopper Scam Report

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to report a Walmart secret shopper scam targeting customers. I recently received an unsolicited email claiming I could earn money as a secret shopper for Walmart.

The email offered me a fake check to deposit to purchase items for evaluation. It asked for my personal banking information to set up payments. This appears to be an attempt at identity theft and bank fraud.

Walmart has disavowed any such mystery shopping programs. Details of the scam attempt are below:

Insert details – date received, email address, messaging specifics, links/phone numbers, check amount if included

I did not fall victim to this attempt but wanted to alert your agency to stop further exploitation. Please let me know if any other information would aid your investigation and awareness campaigns. Thank you for your work in fighting consumer fraud.

Sincerely, Your name Contact info

Legitimate Mystery Shopping Jobs

While scammers pretend to represent Walmart, legitimate mystery shopping opportunities do exist with many well-known businesses. However, mystery shopping providers do not advertise positions.

The Mystery Shopping Providers Association (MSPA) offers a directory of genuine mystery shopping companies at www.mysteryshop.org .

MSPA also allows you to set up job alerts directly through their website or app. Sign up to receive notifications whenever new opportunities matching your profile become available.

Things to keep in mind:

Never pay registration fees – free to join MSPA and reputable providers

Most mystery shops pay $10-20 per assignment

Income averaged $9,180 annually per mystery shopper in 2021

Do not respond to advertised mystery shopping jobs, only MSPA roles

Here are some well-known organizations that do use mystery shoppers:

Avoid responding to any mystery shopping ads – stick to positions advertised exclusively through MSPA to ensure legitimacy.

Beware of These Telltale Scam Indicators:

The bottom line.

Walmart does not employ or contact customers about secret shopper opportunities. Any such offer is fraudulent.

Never deposit unsolicited checks or wire money to strangers who approach you with jobs or other opportunities.

Look for scam giveaways like requests for sensitive information, fake branding, and pressure to act immediately.

Report scam attempts to Walmart, banks, authorities, and consumer groups to help warn others.

For legitimate mystery shopping, use MSPA‘s directory to find jobs with verified providers – and avoid responding to any advertised roles.

Stay vigilant about the telltale signs of fraud to protect your hard-earned money and identity!

New scam ‘hires’ you to be a secret shopper, aims to steal money from you

The WAFB 9News Alert Team tracks common scams and alerts you when one is circulating in our area.

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - The Better Business Bureau is warning people of a new scam that will mail fake checks after “hiring” you to be a secret shopper in an attempt to steal money from you.

They are calling it the “Secret Shopper Scam."

The BBB has received calls from consumers stating they received a check in amounts of $1,200 to $3,500 or more. Along with the check, which is delivered by “priority mail," there are instructions for the “Customer Service Evaluation Assignment.” BBB is warning consumers to be cautious when contacted by an unknown individual or company offering a way to make easy money.

Screenshots of a scam message sent via text convinces people they've been hired to be a secret...

How the scam works:

Victims may receive a message through LikedIn, Facebook, or by text suggesting they applied for a secret shopping job. Once “hired,” they are sent a check to deposit in their banking account and told to deduct their commission. They are then instructed to purchase Walmart gift cards of varying amounts, so they may “evaluate” the store’s customer service. To prove they performed the task they must provide the code on the back of the gift cards to the company. This allows the scammers to drain the accounts on the gift cards. Soon, the victim discovers the check deposited in their account for payment is bogus and has bounced, leaving the victim to cover any monies spent from the check.

Avoid falling for this type of scam with these tips:

Don’t cash the check. Look for discrepancies, such as misspelled words, different addresses, etc. If you receive a check and are asked to make purchases before the check clears, you will most likely have to refund the financial institution that deposited the check.

Be skeptical if you are recruited. Is secret shopping legit? There are companies that hire secret shoppers; however, they will never reach out to you and send a check. Scammers will often disguise themselves as recruiters or create fake profiles pretending to be someone you know.

Don’t pay for a job. Legitimate companies don’t charge people to work for them - they pay people to work for them.

When in doubt, check it out! If you receive an unsolicited check or money order, contact your BBB to investigate before getting involved.

If you feel you have been a victim of a scam, report it to the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.IC3.gov and BBB Scam tracker at www.bbb.org/scamtracker

'Whole Foods Market Research' Secret Shopper Email Is a Scam

The u.s. federal trade commission first warned about this scam in 2020., jordan liles, published oct 21, 2022.

Scam

About this rating

In October 2022, we received reader mail about a "Whole Foods Market Research" scam. The scam arrives in the form of an email, text, or mailed letter, and claims that the recipient has been chosen to be a secret shopper for Whole Foods Market.

The goal of the scammer is to get the recipient to deposit a check into the recipient's bank account. However, unbeknownst to the recipient, the check is fake. The scammer is to quickly task the recipient to buy gift cards and then provide the identifying details on the front and back. Alternatively, the scammer might ask the recipient to initiate a wire transfer or money order to send back a partial amount of the funds from the check. The scammer claims that the recipient can keep a portion of the funds for the work. However, again, the check is fake, so recipients are spending their own money to buy gift cards for the scammers.

We reviewed one example of this scam that arrived as an email. It came from [email protected], which was not an official Whole Foods email address. It claimed to come from a person named Jerry A. Wallace, a purported human resources (HR) representative. A previous version of this scam named Wallace as a "project manager," according to scampulse.com . We found no evidence of a person with this name being a real employee for Whole Foods.

An email from Whole Foods Market Research LLC was a secret shopper scam.

The original email, which contained several store name misspellings, read as follows:

[email protected] wrote: Attn: (name removed) You submitted your information to one of our recruitment agencies to work as a Whole Foods Market Research representative. Your details have been verified and you have been shortlisted as one of our representatives. Here is your unique I.D. number MS6953, your details have been stored in our database. Our company has recently been contracted to do a quality survey on Target, King Soopers, Walmart Stores, Best Buy, Post Office, CVS, Rite Aid, Ebay, Kmart, Pizza Hut, Kroger, Walgreen, Dillons OR 7Eleven e.t.c. We have shortlisted a few representatives from various states and cities to visit any of the stores listed above randomly, to buy merchandise and share their experience via our feedback Checklist/Assessment form. You will receive an envelope containing a Cashier's Check and the Instructions Letter. The Checklist/Assessment Form will be sent/attached to your mail. Please signify your interest with a Yes, I'm Ready. Thank you. Best Regards, Whole Foods Market Research© HR Personnel :- Jerry A. Wallace Cell :- (216) 239-2582

We called the phone number listed in the email. After several rings, a voice message was played that said, "The TextNow subscriber you are trying to reach is not available. Please leave your message after the tone."

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) previously published a full report on this scam back in 2020:

People spotted signs of a fake check scam in the bogus Whole Foods secret shopper offer (which was from a scammer, not really Whole Foods). That’s when someone sends you a check and convinces you to deposit it and quickly send them money. In this scam, the recruiter would send shoppers a check for more than $2,000 and they would: 1. Cash or deposit the check immediately. 2. Buy gift cards with most of the money. 3. Keep about $450 as their pay. 4. Scratch the coating off the gift cards to show the PIN codes. 5. Send pictures of the cards’ front and back (with the codes) to the recruiter. If anyone ever tells you to deposit a check, withdraw money, and send it to someone, that’s a scam. When the check later turns out to be fake, the bank will want the money back. And if anyone tells you to go buy gift cards and share the PIN numbers, that’s a scam, too. Once the scammer has the PIN, they also have all the money from the cards.

The FTC said this scam can be reported at ReportFraud.ftc.gov . They also added, "If you already cashed a fake check and sent money to a scammer, find out how to report to gift card, wire transfer, and money order businesses."

In sum, both we and the FTC advise consumers to not respond to any emails, texts, or mailed letters that invite recipients to work as a secret shopper for "Whole Foods Market Research."

Fake offers for secret shopper jobs

Facebook

Did you get an offer to be a secret shopper for a well-known company? It might come as text, email, or letter inviting you to work on a ‘research project starting soon in your area.’ Several people who got offers to be secret shoppers for grocery stores, like Whole Foods, thought they were scams, and wrote to the FTC to warn others. They were right — the offers are scams — and now we’re extending the warning.

People spotted signs of a fake check scam in the bogus Whole Foods secret shopper offer (which was from a scammer, not really Whole Foods). That’s when someone sends you a check and convinces you to deposit it and quickly send them money. In this scam, the recruiter would send shoppers a check for more than $2,000 and they would:

  • Cash or deposit the check immediately
  • Buy gift cards with most of the money
  • Keep about $450 as their pay
  • Scratch the coating off the gift cards to show the PIN codes
  • Send pictures of the cards’ front and back (with the codes) to the recruiter

If anyone ever tells you to deposit a check, withdraw money, and send it to someone, that’s a scam. When the check later turns out to be fake, the bank will want the money back. And if anyone tells you to go buy gift cards and share the PIN numbers, that’s a scam, too. Once the scammer has the PIN, they also have all the money from the cards.

So, if you get an offer like this, don’t respond. Tell the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov . If you already cashed a fake check and sent money to a scammer, find out how to report to gift card, wire transfer and money order businesses. Read more in How to Spot, Avoid and Report Fake Check Scams .

You can help law enforcement by reporting this to the FTC at www.FTC.gov/Complaint. The information you give goes into a secure database that the FTC and other law enforcement agencies use for investigations. You can choose whether or not to give your name and other personal information. Thank you.

Deuceknigh1 March 03, 2020 They emailed me or texted me. To be a secret shopper for CVS and or Walgreens. Luckily or unluckily I’ve been scammed by fake check scams before and reported it to the FTC scam site. My wife and I both received checks in the amounts of $2976.00 and here wax almost the same . They said we were to buy products and rate the cleanliness of the store, the helpfulness of cashiers etc. when they initially got in contact with us, they asked,” how would you like to shop and be paid to do it plus keep all items you buy”? “You will use your money and be reimbursed and or we will send you Capitol to shop with or both.” Once we got the checks and saw it was bogus and way too high of an amount of money , we reported it, within a day or two we got texts saying “ surely by now you’ve received the check, deposit it and get in touch with us NOW, RIGHT NOW!” We of course did not and they sent another text or two and that was it . It’s sad that they prey on people looking for honest work or opportunity and don’t care whom they hurt . I sincerely hope they all get caught at one point or another and have to make reparations for their thievery. Sincerely, Steve Knight

Dba March 03, 2020 This happened to me last year. I found the add on Craigslist. They sent me a check and everything but thank God I did not cash it. I did report it though. Thanks again for the confirmation that I did the right thing.

julietoast March 03, 2020 I just got another one but it is a cashier's check from a local bank? Wouldn't I be able to go to that bank and cash it ? Of course it may be fake but they would tell me.

In reply to I just got another one but it by julietoast

You are responsible for the checks you cash or deposit, even if you don’t know they’re fake. It can take weeks for a bank to discover that a check was a forgery. Until the bank confirms that the funds from the check were deposited into your account, you are responsible for any money you withdraw against that check. You can read more about Fake Checks in this FTC article.

Cc March 03, 2020 I was sent a money order it was delivered by mail in a first class envelope. With two money orders and instructions telling me what yo do. Luckily I was able to figure it out I didnt deposit I threw them out

In reply to Should we report it when we by kat

You can report the details to the FTC at www.FTC.gov/Complaint. The information you give goes into a secure database that the FTC and other law enforcement agencies use for investigations.

If you get a check and letter through the mail, you can take it all to your local post office and ask them to forward it to the Postal Inspectors. 

Ralph johnson March 03, 2020 I have received 3 different check the 2nd one in December 2019 for over $2,000.00 to have a decal for a engery drink co put the sticker on my car i was to keep $400.00 and send the rest to them i am not dum so i took the check to my bank and opened a savings account.

Linda March 03, 2020 Last week I got 2 envelopes in the mail with tracking numbers, a letter saying to deposit into your account keep 200 and buy $800 in I'm at cards as a mystery shopper. The 2 money orders I took to the post office and they showed me the difference between the real postal money orders and the scammers postal money order. Then they were to be handed over to the police. I told him I got one last year and I threw it in the garbage. So be very careful the scammers are getting better at these money orders.. Always have it checked out before you fall for a scam..

This happened to my girlfriend's mother a few months ago. She received a check in the amount of $950.00 and asked me if this looked legit. I told her almost certainly not. Guess how much one must steal from someone in California in order for it to be deemed a felony, rather than a misdemeanor? Answer: any amount over $950.00 !!!

msfisk March 04, 2020 I'll report the checks I received. I did deposit one of them but then waited to see what would happen---it was no good.

Kathleen March 04, 2020 I got one of the offers on my e-mail. I have been a secret shopper for a legitimate company years ago and I know they don't give $400. for a brief time in the store. they only pay pocket money, or they did when I did this. So I just deleted it cause I knew it was a scam. But some people that are on tough times might think this is real!

Dan17 March 04, 2020 I got a text message this morning from a secret shopper fake, who threatened me that the FBI would be at my doorstep before 1000AM, if I didn’t send in my report about Best Buy. I texted them back telling never contact me again.

GodsDivaaa March 05, 2020 I had a customer fall for a scam and it cost him over $6K to his CC. Not only did he go out and purchase over $6K in gift cards he gave the scammers all his info. The scammers made bogus payments to his CC acct which later retuned. Banks are not responsible when customers are scammed like this and this does not fall under the fraud liability. People need to beware! 99.99 percent of the time no company is going to give you free money. And why people fall for these scams is beyond me. I wish people were more aware of these types of scams. I will be too happy when these scammers are caught. People don’t realize it is a global issue and if you go to YouTube look up romance scams.... Don’t be a victim people!!!

dooqofurl March 05, 2020 The number 1(281)413-9941 and it's a fake check scam. Keep an eye out.

dweinert March 07, 2020 Husband took the fake cashier's check today to the "issuing" credit union and asked if it was real. The credit union confirmed it was fake and is reporting this as check and mail fraud. If it is too good to be true, it probably is.

Don&#039;t use April 20, 2020 I have 4 checks - ALL SCAMS - and they keep sending them to me!! I have never cashed one and they all want me to "Secret Shop" at Walmart's service center!! I have told them they are trying to scam me. I gave the information to my bank trying to make them aware. Whether or not they did anything, I don't know! But these people can't be very smart!

Behonest April 27, 2020 How do I report the Secret Survey Scam, and the fake check sent along with it.

Jrbro May 24, 2020 I just got a check for $1950 from Geiger and Peters through someone asking me to be a secret shopper for Whole Foods. I went along as I knew Whole Foods would never use someone with such poor grammar and spelling. Of course, I was instructed to cash it and then await further instructions, which I did not do.

In reply to I just got a check for $1950 by Jrbro

Linda D May 28, 2020 This scam is still going on. I guess as long as they can get money out of people it pays to keep going. Can't remember when or why I signed up for this. Maybe I thought it was a Whole Foods opportunity. Any way, we received a Priority Postage cardboard mailer in the mail. Looked real official. Inside were a cashiers check and instructions. Once I saw the check, I knew it was a scam. Any time someone wants to give you money, it's almost always a scam or has some type of finical tie behind it. Did not have to read the flyer that came with the check, but I did. They wanted me to cash the check and purchase Sephora gift cards for $2,500. After purchasing the gift cards they wanted me to send pictures of the front and back with the secret number scratched off and revealed. They did an excellent job of making everything look real. Now I'm getting text messages. I thought about playing mind games with them, but not worth my effort. However, I think I will respond back and tell them that I have reported them to FTC and block their phone number. I'm sure their phone number probably changes a lot. Sorry to those who lost money to these scammers and a "Good job done" to those who recognized and reported these scammers.

JPMiami June 07, 2020 I did get a text message for Whole Foods and did a google search as it looked very suspicious. Just want to know if this can be reported somewhere. Please let me know.

The enrollment of the international students in secondary school education in Malaysia has increased significantly in the last few years. This qualitative study involved the observation of the international students' skills by their teacher in terms of academic and socio-cultural obstacles. The method of data collection employed was face to face semistructured interviews. Findings showed that international students experienced academic obstacles, challenges, cultural modification and social isolation. Academic obstacles and challenges that they faced include communication with teacher and classmates. Therefore, international students should be helped with their problem of social isolation by involving them in various group activities. Culturally, international students had to adjust to the different methods of thinking and learning in Malaysia. In order to overcome these challenges, students have to accept the resources and assistance from the teacher.

Wal-Mart Stores Customer Service Perspective

Introduction, company’s objectives, measures, targets and actions.

Customer service perspective serves as an instrument to ensure that all company’s employees are committed to the customer’s needs since they are the most important aspects in business continuity and sustainability. Wal-Mart Stores Inc is a large-scale business enterprise founded by Sam Walton and known to be the most successful retailer that operates singly in the world. Various elements are deemed crucial in addressing the customer service. For instance, appropriate goals must be set by the company’s management, and appropriate implementation of strategies must be ensured for attainment of the already set goals (Vance and Scott, 1994).

Wall-mart stores Inc operates over a wide range of retail products in various countries hence has several strategies, which were set at its inception by the founders, and are in operation up to date. To aid in the implementation of the above strategies, a number of objectives have been set by the company to spearhead the implementation of strategies. First, Wall-mart Inc aims at increasing the number of distribution channels to solve the problem that comes in as a result of congestion in the stores that are in operation.

Secondly, the company intends to Invest in excellent human resource with an aim of generating smart profits, and Increase productivity within the company. Thirdly, the company aims at building an excellent and enthusiastic Customer Service Relationship, a key factor that addresses implementation of strategies and solutions to the problems in question. There is a very strong relationship between the company’s objectives and the corporate strategy that it has in that, provision of excellent services to the consumers would be possible when there are a variety of distribution channels.

At the same time, appropriate customer service relationship created would attract more customers to buy the company’s products and services. In addition, investing in excellent human resource personnel helps in improved employee performance, a key element to increased productivity in an organization. At the same time, this would enable the company accomplish its strategy for striving towards excellence and respect its workers and the customers (Vance, and Scott, 1994).

Moreover, the three objectives are related to the mission whose aim is geared towards improving the quality of products through advanced technology and use of manufacturing industries with the intention of maintaining appropriate customer service. The relationship lies in the fact that high quality products and services attract a large number of consumers, hence promoting excellence in the company as well as customer and employee satisfaction.

More so, the objectives are related to the company’s vision, which states that the management strives towards making the company the largest and the best Corporation throughout the world. A large corporation serves as a good customer base and at the same time serves in ensuring better prices of products. The extent to which a corporation is large depends upon the number of customers who continually buy the products as well as the number of channels. By increasing the number of distribution channels, building a good CSR strategy and participation in extra community projects would ensure the establishment of a large corporation (Niven, 2002).

Accomplishment of objectives in an organization is very vital for its sustainability and continuity. A collection of measures is put in place to spearhead the activities of the company. To invest in more distribution channels, the company has to recruit more distributors and creating more retail stores at convenient places. More so, for the accomplishment of the goal to maximize profits within the company, it would be important to improve productivity and performance by encouraging investments in best human resource services. At the same time, it would be essential to ensure easy accessibility of the company’s resources by the target community as a way to build an excellent customer relationship strategy (Niven, 2002).

Additionally, the company has set particular targets that would spearhead the above measures. The fist objective would be met by having as many stores as possible in all places, with an estimated number of a hundred stores to be developed every year, within the United States as well as in other countries. The second one would be accomplished by authenticating all human resource departments within the company’s stores for effectiveness in employee management to enhance their satisfaction, as a factor that determines the company’s productivity. Finally, the third would be made practical by initiating extra community-based projects with an intention of enhancing company-community interactions (Hubbard, 2007).

Furthermore, various actions are deemed important with an intention to meet the above targets. One, accelerating more investments in major countries would help in increasing the number of distribution channels. It would be ample to expand the administrative structure of the human resource department by recruiting more human resource personnel who will ensure better contact with the entire staff would ensure maximized profits and increased profits within the company. More over, Assisting the less fortunate in the immediate community as well as providing incentives to the prevailing community would help in implementing in appropriate and enthusiastic CSR (Hubbard, 2007).

The above objectives are considered more essential than any other, since customers are the key to the success of an organization. Thus, maintaining enthusiastic customer service perspective is the most important aspect in business sustainability and productivity.

The following table summarizes the objectives, targets, measures, and actions that are important to the business.
