Complaint Review: Research Union

Another mystery shopper scam. Company will send you a check as a probationary training assignement and is a so called PAID training. You are supposed to take the check and evaluate the business that you are taking the check to. Often times it may be a Walmart location or MoneyGram store. You are required to cash the check and take a small portion for yourself as a training fee. THE CHECK IS WORTHLESS, and if you DO cash it, you will be held responsible for giving the money back to the bank that cashed it for you!!! There are several variations of this scam. Different companies, addresses, or websites, but the game is the same..... to scam people out of their hard earned money. Always research anything on the internet first!!
Ripoffreport.com is one of the best sources to find out if anything is a scam. Be aware that NEW scams come up everyday. Don't be the first one to get screwed. Do your research.
