Liberty Research Services Inc Mystery Shopping Scam. Involving evaluation of Money Gram and Wal*Mart Montery California
I consider myself a prudent person. As such, I did my research before beginning to work for Liberty Research. I checked the Better Business Bureau in California, googled the phone numbers to see if there were any hits; when everything checked out I cashed the $3500 check. In hind sight-I should have waited for the check to clear.
I followed their explicit instructions: I was to evaluate MoneyGram by sending money to one of three individuals; Linda told me that the receipent would be evaluating MoneyGram on the receiving end, makes sense. Next, I was to make a purchase from Wal-Mart, evaluate the customer service.
I sent the required funds, $2980.00 to Patricia Ford in New York City, 11225 I purchased an MP3 player for $104.88, which I was permitted to keep.
At one point, I had Linda's home phone number 514-662-1383. I left a not so nice message which a recording picked up this eve. So, with that being said....go get them!

This is just another form of a scam that has been going around for a while. You definitely got scammed. First, anytime someone wants you to cash a check and send money back to them, it's very likely a scam. Second, that is not the way Mystery Shops work. You don't ever get paid up-front. You have to spend the money and then are reimbursed. And if you have any doubts what-so-ever, wait for the check to clear. If the company is pushing you to send money back quickly, it's suspect.
