TJA - MYSTERY SHOPPING, MARKET RESEARCH, CONSULTING & COUNSELLING Received check for $4780. Send Money Gram for $4280 to Maria Hall, Los Angeles, CA or Tito Dunn, Bronx, NY, keep $300 for my training and spend $50 as a mystery shopper. New York New York
Received in mail today a legitimate looking check -- no mistakes (I know, I used to be a bank teller for 10 yrs).
Said I was selected to be a mystery shopper because of previous survey affiliates that I had participated in (and I have done surveys before on products) and that I indicated I would be interested in becoming a mystery shopper.
Said I would make $400 a week for the first three months and then increase to $500 per week.
First assignment is to pose as a potential customer shopping and spending $50.00 at one of the retail locations (Wal-Mart, Staples, J.C. Penny, Lowes, Walgreens, K-Mart or Sears -- all stores I shop at). I assume since this is the first assignment, I would have to cash the check at my bank and then keep $50 to spend. '
Next assignment I would be trained to send a Western union or Money Gram to one of their training agents (Maria Hall, Los Angeles, CA; Tito Dunn, Bronx, NY; Judy Thomas, Houston,m TX; Naomi Evans, Los Angeles, CA; Gail Dukes, Houston, TX).
Next "remember to fax all receipts and evaluation forms to the fax number for faster verification and job assignment and scheduling. But do not use next day services. Use Money in Minutes when sending money to an agent only."
Breakdown of attached funds: $300, probation training fee; $4,280 funds to be transferred; $250 Money Gram service charge; $50 funds needed for shopping.
What a scam! The check really looks real but the check is from a Whitaker Physicians Services, LLC and the bank is Amegy Bank of Texas, Houston, TX. Why would the check be from a physicians services to do mystery shopping at Wal-Mart????
