Mystery shopper for market force Trevor Williams had me to cash checks for western union to evaluate their services and evaluate Walmart, Internet
I had signed up to be a mystery shopper and Trevor Williams contacted me and had me to go and shop Walmart and Western Union. I would shop the places then I would deduct a fee of 200.00 then 40.00 for travel expenses then I would send the remaining to places like Nigeria and London. He had been calling me and harrassing me when I hadn't sent the other money orders. I had went to the bank to find out if they had been legit and I was told they were so I had done what I was told then about 2 weeks later they came back counterfeit. Luckily I hadn't sent the other ones but now I owe the banks 800.00 for the money orders. Trevor had sent me threating emails says if I hadn't sent the money he was going to contact the FBI on me for stealing his money, fight which it wasn't his money it was mine.

These scammers will continue to do this as long as there are enough gullible people who still do not know that anything involving Nigeria is a scam. They're offshore, so there is nothing that law enforcement can do about it.

I contacted "Mystery Shopper" after reading an ad in PennySaver.
I spoke with a person who asked me questions including my first, last name, phone number and address. I hesitated to provide so much info without any from the other end of the phone line but I gave it anyway because the questions were so quick.
When the person asked me if I could use a credit, debit or other form of card to make purchases, I said no I could not. The personabruptly directed me to the website whichled me to this ripoffreport website.
I would advise all consumers tothink twice before devulging personal information to a stranger you are responding to regarding whatever.I did not because frankly, between the many public and private agencies I deal with everyday, I've become accustomed to these questions to the extent that I can answer the next question before it's been asked!
A red flag should go up immediately when asked about financial information such as debit, credit card, banking information. I am so grateful that the Mystery Shopper conversation ended at this point, especially after reading about some of the people who were ripped off by this and similar scams.
I would like to add that I've been unemployed for a while now andas such looking in every nook and crannie for some way to earn some income to support my family.I am definetly a target for anything. Please be careful in this desperate economic time.
