I was given a check for 1,950.00 to cash and go to 2 differant walmarts and purchase apple gift cards and send the info via text MSG and email to a Lawrence Martinez and i was to keep 300.00 for myself and get a cashiers check for a donation to the breast cancer organization and send pics to him and I would get a 100.00 bonus if done on time.

I received a US Postal Service, Priority mail envelope on my doorstep Monday on 5-31-2021.When I opened the envelope I found a check for$ 1,950.00 made out to me with the remitter’s name as Lawrence Martinez. I had received previous offers from this person to become a Walmart secret shopper. They claimed to be a cutting edge audit analysis and that Lawrence Martinez would give me my assignment’s. I was to send all my information to him at paid [email protected] and text him only at 512-649-2334 .I was to take the enclosed check and go to my bank to cash it. If I couldn’t get it then I was to come back the next day. My instructions were to get one $50.00 cashiers check with no explanation why. Take my $300.00 Commision out and buy two $400 Apple Store Gift cards from my closest Walmart located near me. “I was to time the time that it took for me to receive the two cards and if the cashier had to call a manager! After I got the two cards I was to text back to Lawrence Martinez after taking pictures of the numbers on both cards. After this I was to fill out a report that was in the package and sent it back to Martinez.
I was instructed to act very natural and not let anyone know I was a secret shopper and buy only Apple store cards. After the first assignment was completed I was to go to the next closest Walmart and to do exactly the same thing.The assignment money to be received was $300.00. The cashiers check to The American Cancer Society was $50.00. The total amount for four Apple Card’s was $1,600.00. The cost of the Cashiers check was a possible $20.00. Which was to total to $1,950.00. ‘I immediately knew that somebody couldn’t count! In my mind I wanted to have things work out right! So I texted Lawrence Martinez twice and emailed him once to get some questions asked and answered. I got only once response back.Did You Get The Package Yet! I decided to look up the company’s website only to discover it was an old fashioned scam.These people are scamming me to steal all my money!Please Put All Of Them In Jail! That’s where they belong! Taking advantage of someone with slow income to rip them off and steal their money! ‘I would like to see all of them go to jail! Including pictures.

I'll admit, I fell for this, did as asked, but Walmart wouldn't let me purchase the second set of gift cards, so I only bought the cashier's check & the first two cards. I started feeling funny about this & this thread only confirms my suspicions. I can't work & am dealing with S.S. to get disability & thought this was something I could do for $ & something I could do. To say I feel sick is an understatement...I did check the routing number on routingtool.com & the number does exist, so not sure what that means. I will be letting them know the jig is up & I will not be participating any further.

My wife just received a check for $2450.00 With instructions to purchase 4 $500.00 gift cards and a $50.00 Cashiers check from MY bank to The American Cancer society. The last $400.00 being my wife's salary. Their cashiers check was from Regions Bank. I've been through this before, their check will not clear your bank and you will be charged a return check fee. SCAM!

I received a cashier check for $2450 and given instructions to purchase $50 cashier check to be made out to American Cancer Society and go to 2 different Walmarts and purchase three $400 gift cards at one store and two $400 gift cards from another. I was to keep 400 for myself. Today I get text saying that 2 of the gift cards did not have anything on them and to go to Walmart and complain. I became leary and let them know that I was a cancer patient (which I am) and would go in an hour or so. In the meantime hour later I told them I was at the store and waiting for manager to help me. Told them I had obfusion treatment and would have to return later in afternoon to pursue them helping me. Got text for me to tell them to hurry up. In any event explained manager was going to run transaction history and i had to leave for my treatment. Checked all the gift cards and all have been emptied. Not sure what to do. I cashed the check out right and bank checked for funds. I am still in possession of check I had made out to cancer society.

I recieved a text offering to be a walmart secret shopper, I applied and was "hired. I would get package w/instructions. when recieved to text and email. Assignment was for me to cash 2400 dollar cashiers check, go to 2 walmarts, purchase 5, 400 dollar walmart gift cards, scratch the codes on back and photograph and text and email to dss.

I received a text offering a part time job to be a secret shopper for Walmart. I applied, a couple of days later I received text saying I was hired. I would receive a package via USPS. When I received it I was instructed to text and email that I received. The assignment was to cash or deposit into my bank account a 2400 dollar cashier's check. I was to go to a Walmart and purchase 3, 400 dollar Walmart gift cards, then go to a second Walmart and purchase 2, 400 dollar gift cards. Scratch off the scratch off and take photos and text them back with the surveyor reaction form.

Other option if I couldn't do that was go to Bitcoin location's and do the same.

I saw red flag as soon as I read the instructions. I googled the company, it exists, I did as requested and texted and emailed when I received the package. It took a day and a half and I received a call from someone replying to my text, I couldn't understand understand what he was saying. I asked to speak to his supervisor because I couldn't understand him, he hung up.

Yes, this is a scam. I've had females I met online and ask me to do the same. That's why I was able to spot this upon reading what my "assignment" was.

This is the second check I have received, I threw the first one away. I will throw this one away also. After checking several area I went to routing tool.com where I was told the routing # on check does not exist. Like the saying goes if it’s too good to be true then it is. Do not fall for these scams. I almost did.
