Complaint Review: Express Secret Shoppers

The Company sent a cashier's check in the amount of $4575, to use for mystery shopping at various businesses, most notably Money Gram Transfer and Western Union. Walmart, Burger King also listed.

A contact name and number was giving in a letter that came with check. The number to call was 403-383-3240. Which is a Canadian area code. I was told that it was a Mystery Shopping assignment and that these first assignments were apart of an evaluation.

I was told to deposit the check and wait for my bank to confirm availability. Once it's confirmed, I was to send a $2000 wire from Western Union to a Jessica Reed located at 3125 Park Avenue, Suite 7035 Windsor, Ontario Canada. Once that transaction was done, I was to call back before going to Money Gram in which I was to send another $2000 to a Cassandra NcNeil located at 1146 Perez Drive, Calgary, Alberta Canada. Again I was told to call once the transaction was done.

Your fee for participating would be $400 that was already included in the amount.

I did look up the website to confirm if it was a ligitimate company. And also looked up the company on the check and again, that checked out. Thankfully my bank returned the check because they couldn't confirm validity and I only lost $15 in charges instead of thousands.
