- Graham, NC, USA

I initially received a message from someone that I didn't know on LinkedIn about a job opportunity. She gave me information about this company with a link to "sign up" stating that she had been "earning" money from the company for a year. I was curious about what type of job she was referencing so I went to check out the site. The website was very "bare bones" with no real information about the company, no contact information, testimonials, information about the companies that hired them to do the research. I was still curious, although at this point thinking it was a scam. I entered my name, address, and e-mail information so I could get some information about what was being asked for. I received the email below:

6: Evaluate the quality of customer service delivery, condition and arrangement of cards at the store and fill out your observation in the Feedback Section below (Page 3).

Note: Under no circumstance should you acknowledge that you are evaluating their services as that will deter the purpose of the program. If asked if you are a mystery shopper, kindly answer NO.

AFTER PURCHASE OF CARDS

It has all the "tell tell" signs of a scam: no website or company information, P.O. Box address, told they are sending a "check", asking to deposit the "check", going to pay you a ridiculous amount of money,buy cash/money cards, load money on the cards and, take pictures of the information on the on the cards and send it to them.

What a joke!!! I can't wait to receive the check so I can shred it pronto. I work too hard for my money to be handing it over to scammers. Please don't be fooled by this scam. I'm sure you work hard for your money as well and can't afford to just give it away.
