tproof survey fake mystery shopper Redmond, Washington
We received a letter from Dr. Pat Rice who indicated that she was the President of a company called TPROOF SURVEY. She asked us to be a mystery shopper to do an evaluation. She sent by priority mail what appeared to be a US Postal Service money order. We thought since she was willing to send us a $985 money order this was legit. The instructions we were given was to cash the money order or deposit the money order in our bank account and to evaluate the servce we received and report on that. We also were asked to take $30 of that money and buy something at Walmart and report on their service as well and the remaining amount of money which was $805 was to be sent to someone known as Smooth J Robert (obviously an alias).
We tried to cash the money order at two of our banks, cash checking place, and the US Post Office. We were turned down by all these. The post office also was reluctant because the money order we were given was on paper that didn't feel right to them and it was missing the watermark of Benjamin Franklin that you can see when you hold it up the light We would then have been confronted with doing the second option that we were proposed with which was deposit the "false money order" into our bank account and withdrew our own money for the money that was asked of us.
This is exactly what they wanted us to do.I have traced back the IP address of the email that was sent to us and have alerted both the Postal Police and the FBI. If there are others of you who have information that would help track down these perpetrators of this fraud so that they can be brought to justice please send that to the authorities. It's unfortunate that a small few criminals in our society make it bad for legitimate work at home opportunities for the rest of us.
