Qualitative Market Research Tony Allen Consumer Services Evaluator, Mystery Shopper, Mystery Consumer New York, New York
I received a letter dated Jun 02, 2011 from Qualitative Market Research. The letter is from Tammy Williams, Director of Human Resources. It includes specific instructions for mystery shopping and using an enclosed cashier's check from US Bank in the amount of $3,700. The cashier's check looks very legitimate and is printed on watermark paper. The letter provides specific instructions to send $2,990 via Western Union to Ossai Kelvin, Paris France. An estimated $200 is to cover the Western Union fees. The second assignment is to use $170 for merchandise you keep from your choice of Sears, Walmart, Home Depot, Victoria's Secret, JCPenney, K-Mart, ToysRUs, Dillard's and Macy's. The remaining $340 is your first week pay. A market report form is attached to the letter. The form is to be completed regarding your Western Union experience, and faxed back to 1-212-202-6462.
Do NOT fall for this scam! The check will bounce. Be sure to keep a copy of EVERYTHING!
I filed a claim with the Attorney General and will pursue legal action against Qualitative Market Research; I suggest anyone who receives this scam also file a claim with the Attorney General and pursue prosecution of these scammers. Be sure to keep copies of EVERYTHING. Let's give them their money's worth!
