Then you are contacted my someone calling themselves Magnolia Lineman, the Human Resources director for Secret Shop Communicators. The problem is that Secret Shop Communicators/SSCOMM Inc. is my company founded in 1999 in Tennessee. Magnolia Lineman by email or by phone promises $50-$150 per shop and a guaranteed annual income of $22,000. Somewhere along the line, she asks for a credit card number.
This is unbelievable!
Someone purchased my old domain name using my name and my address in April 2012. The website (which went up recently) is www.sscomminc.com and it shows my name with someone's else photo and uses my address (with a map!) along with their phone number and a gmail account. SSCOMM Inc./Secret Shop Communicators is a real company but we do not hire mystery shoppers. We are a one-woman public relations firm.
