Shopping Facts - Shopping Jobs Mailed fraudulent cashiers check for $4988.00, to deposit and be a mystery shopper, did deposit and thankful waited for check to clear, never did so I called company to ask and they said you never called back and we withdrew the fund. I was told to deposite and take the cash out and call them for further instructions. When I told the guy this he hung up on me and now will not take my call. Dover Delaware
I received a letter in the mail very detailed about what to spend money on for a mystery shopper. It came from Shopping Facts Inc. I did not apply for this was told normally you have to pay to do this, they needed mystery shoppers in my area.
I asked the guy if this is legal, he answered yes. Told me to deposit the check which was for $4988.00 and wait till it clears, and withdraw the cash.
Then call back for my assignment.
I deposited the check on Friday and kept checking to see if it cleared. Wednesday I called the company and told them they put a hold on the check and took it out of my account.
He then told me that I did not call and do as I was told, I said that I was waiting for it to clear and then would call. He hung up on me, and now will not talk to me.
I guess that is a blessing that I did not try to spend that money on what was on the assignment. It was Walmart, Gap an Western Union and Moneygram.

Same exact thing, I got the mail today, I noticed a lettered postmarked from Canada, strange since i don't know anyone in Canada. I open it up and find a Cashier's Check for $4998.00 drawn on Bank of Star Valley in WY. The letter asked me to call the number for instructions. I did , I was told to deposit in my account and when the funds clear to call back to get my assignments. Still not trusting I decided to check on rip off report, I could not find the name Shoppers Impressions, but it seems they change their name all the time It came with a cashiers check to me for $4998.00, with the following breakdown of tasks the money is/was to be used for; Salary and Training Pay =$300 Tasks (mystery shopper tasks) Wal Mart purchase $50 Gap Purchase $40 Western Union transfer $1579 Service charge from Western union $99 Money Gram Transfer $2873 Money Gram Service Charge $ 57 Grand total $4998........I was also given a form I was told to make 4 copies of when I called, So I could "grade" the 4 companies above on their customer svc, etc. Another thing I found odd, that triggered my red flag alarm to do some research before rushing to the bank was, 1. The letter was mailed from Canada, 2. The check was drawn on a bank in WY (a real bank i verified that much) and, 3. The company states it's office address is 110 Main St. Jefferson, SD. I thought it was too good to be true, thanks to rip off report for allowing these forums to protect consumers like me.

I am a stay at home mother and was looking to supliment my income , and still be able to stay at home with my children while my husband worked. I recieved a Certified Check in the mail for 4,998.00 to be a mystery shopper. In the letter they also said that 300.00 was for my training pay. I went and opened a bank account and withdrew my 300.00 off the money. Not even a week later I recieved a call from my persoan banker telling me that the check had been a fraudulant check and my account is now 312.00 overdrawn! I tried to call the company and now I can't get through to anyone! I don't know where I am going to be able to pay off this money , we have 4 children and billls on top of that. How can people get away with things like this is unbelievable. So beware if it seems too good to be true , IT IS!!!!!!!!
