SHOPPERS MARKET RESEARCH New York New York
I got a letter in the mail right after Christmas offering me $300.00 for the first week. $400.00 for every week for the next 3 months. After my training it would go up to $800.00 per week. Just for shopping. All i had to do was spend $100.00 at one of these 7 major shopping centers. But the catch is the check that they sent me was for $2940.00. They also wanted me to make a money transfer of $2400.00 and that is what caught my eye. I called the number on the paper work to ask questions and the man on the other end could not answer my questions.
He told me to call back at a certain time the next business day. So I did and to my surprise no one answered. So i looked up the bank on line and found the one in New York. I told them what i wanted to know about the cashier's check. They ran the numbers and could not assure me that it was a real check. I'm still trying the number as i type this letter. Don'T want them to come back and say i really didn't try.

The "SHOPPERS MARKET RESEARCH" AKA "SHOPPERS INC."sent me a check for $3,780.00 wanted me to deposit it . Promised to pay me $400.00 per week for the first 3 months, then $800.00 after working 6 months for "SMR" . The quote un quote breakdown is Probation training pay ...$300., Required funds to be transferred ...$3200., Service charges....$100., They are associating themselves with a bank called "PROVIDENT BANK" , UNDER THAT IT SAYS "AGENT FOR MONEYGRAM" Also in the memo area under the line it says "DRAWER: MONEYGRAM PAYMENT SYSTEMS INC. PO BOX 9475, MINNEAPOLIS, MN., 55480 DRAWEE: WACHOVIA BANK, BUFORD , GA.". They are also associating themselves with stores like "WAL-MART" , K-MART, LOWES, HOME DEPOT, WESTERN UNION AND MONEYGRAM. There was also another woman from New York that had gotten a letter and check also, Her amounts were a little different but the whole process was the same. Please check out anything you get that looks like this and report them. Total Scam! I hate to see them associate themselves with good reputable company's.
