Nova Research, Nova Research & Management Inc. Secret Shopper Scam! for $1,993.44 -- Run in the other direction... Newport News, Virginia
The moment I saw the envelope I knew there was trouble; it was posted in Canada. And then the check for $1,993.44 with a letter that gave me directions to call within 48 hours to a Mr. Andy Rogers at 1-647-537-3382 (I did a Google search and it was a cellphone number) or I would be disqualified automatically.
The letter also said not to talk to anyone at the bank!!
The letter was poorly written with inappropriate use of Upper Case letters. The logos were obviously a poorly made cut & past from the internet. Even the first word was a clue "Congratulation!!" Obviously written by a foreigner. Below is the company's name and address as written on the letter. Let's see how many mistakes you can find. There are eight!!
