Beware Mystery Shoppers!

I was recently contracted to be a Mystery Shopper for Mystery Shopper, Inc. I was promised a $200 payout if I purchased $50 worth of stuff from Walmart AND sent a Western Union payment to an address in New Mexico. I was told to expect a package from FedEx which would contain a check for $3300. From that check I was asked to send $3025 to the New Mexico address and then send in an evaluation form to complete the process. IF YOU GET THIS TYPE OF OFFER REJECT IT IMMEDIATELY! I was suspicious of this activity and went online to find out more about the company Mystery Shoppers, Inc. Although it looks legitimate, there have been a number of claims filed against it for fraud. NEVER accept an assignment if you are expected to cash a check or money order and then send money to an address. It is a scam and you will be out of several thousands of dollars if you do it and you will not have any opportunity to recover you money. BUYER BEWARE! If it looks too good to be true, believe your inner voice...IT IS!

Mystery Shopper has also been know as Secret Shopper.
