Complaint Review:
Mystery Shopper/James Patterson
Mystery Shopper/James Patterson Jill Waltz, Richard Bill, Martins Moore Tried to scam me to send money on to a so called other Mystery Shopper through Western Union LaGrande, Oregon
I was sent a US Postal Service Money Order today, and it arrived today, along with an email, in response to a job offer for a Mystery Shopper. The Fedex envelope contained a M/O for $750, and an email asking me to email whfjobs@hotmail.com for further instructions. On checking online, I found an email from a JillWaltz@aol.com , who instructed me to cash this money order at my bank and then take $200 for my pay for doing the survey, and an itinerary on what they expected me to do at Walmart for the survey, and then instructed me to go to Western Union and also learn how to send money to the next shopper. This address was : Richard bill; 121 alhaman Murakabart; Dubai, UAE. As soon as I saw this address, it tipped me off that this may be a real scam, either to lauder money to a terrorist group or never expecting what I read here, to get me to send this money from a bogus money order and I be out the money of my own account. I did call my local authorities, and they definitely said to shred the money order, so I shall. I have not been harrassed as yet, since this just occurred today, I would assume they will try to get in touch later, if I do not do what they expect, but they will get an ear full, when they do. I don't know if I should contact anyone else, such as the FBI, but will do so, if you think necessary. Judy, Oh
