I recieved an acceptance letter for a part time job for which I did not apply. It included a very real looking check for $1989.35. The check and letter has the logo and address of Walmart Corporate.
The letter said that I was accepted for a part time job as a secret shopper for local companies such as Walmart, Gap and Pizza Hut. All I had to do to get started was register online, take some online training, and start shopping. I would recieve $350.00 a week and get to keep the items I bought using the rest of the money.
The letter is full of incorrect grammar, unprofessional writing skills and a poor excuse for the "director's" signature. The "Walmart" letterhead is obviously not professional quality and neither is the check. I would be greatly surprised if this actually came from Walmart.
The website given was www.reviewdatagroup.com. I was instructed to go online to register the check.
I did go online to look up this company, which does not exist. I did, however find reports of this same scam under the name of "The Data Group" in 2014, who was also using Walmart's name.
