I received a letter in the mail today with a check for $3,860.00 from Continental Shoppers Inc. inviting me to participate as a Mystery Shopper in my area. They wanted me to deposit their fraudulent check into my personal bank account and then for my first assignment, transfer funds in the amount of $3,300.00 to their training agent.
My other assignments would have been shopping at Sears, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, JC Penney, K-Mart and Macys and they would let me keep the merchandise I bought as a Mystery Shopper which was not bad when you considered I was getting stuck with almost 4k anyway. I've read a lot of complaints on line, but I also read in my letter that they were listed with the Better Business Bureau, so I checked, and sure enough, they were. And, not one complaint had been filed against them. Well, there is now!
If anyone cares to jump on the band-wagon and help put an end to these dirt bags, here is a link to the Better Business Bureaus complaint page:
https://odr.bbb.org/odrweb/public/getstarted.aspx.
And, did I mention mail fraud? I filed this one on them too: https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/forms/MailFraudComplaint.aspx
