Comper Shopper Reports & Reviews (9)

I recently signed up to be a Mystery Shopper on several websites, so when I received a message that my first assignment was coming. In the mail, I received an instruction letter and a cashiers check. I was instructed to cash the check, take $265 for my commission, have a $30 Cashiers Check made out to the American Red Cross, and then take the remaining balance to a CVS, Walgreen's, WalMart, or 7-11 to purchase several $500 American Express Gift Cards. I was to observe the level of customer service and report back on my findings. I was also instructed to open the gift card packs and send pictures of both the front and back of the cards and then await further instructions on where to send the cards. I did this and was told as soon as they get my assessment I would be sent my next assignment. I started to get insufficient funds messages from my bank, and I panicked. I went online only to see my account was hugely negative. The check bounced and now Im freaking out. I called the 800# for my bank and my hold time was greater than 20 min, so I am gonna just go to the bank just as soon as I can to see what the heck I can do. I don't know if I call the police and make a police report, I do know that I do not have the ability to pay the bank back. Can I go to jail for this? I have never been through anything like this before in my life, so yes I am freaking out.
Anyone who knows please help...

6/24/21. Same, Same, Same! I too answered the message from this Polawynn McKinney. Didn’t even think it was gonna pan out. I for this Priority Mail envelope. Opened it and couldn’t believe o had received this check for $2390.73 and the generic offer letter and instructions. Immediately, my antennas went up! I called and the VM has a weird name, but NOT Polawynn McKinney’s. Asked for a return call. Nothing. Held onto the check. Something just didn’t feel right. Just received an email for PM asking if I was finished with my assignment and the urgency for completing in a timely manner for the “customers” we are working for. That check isn’t worth the paper it is cleverly printed on. Smh. I’m printing my emails and the number it has on it and see if I can get nothing done for justice. Sorry to all the folks that did get burned. My Justice is Your Justice!

Received the same $2390.73 Treasurer’s Check as the others & it looked legitimate. All the details on the instructions were exactly the same. Obviously, Ms Polawyn McKinny thinks there are enough naive individuals to help her get rich but not caught. But, like the others reporting here, I didn’t just fall off the turnip truck. Why can’t these people be stopped.
Please beware! If you receive anything with a check, just call your bank. They can check the account number with the bank it written on & tell you immediately if it’s legit. Everyone these days has a bank they use. Don’t be fooled, just call the bank you know personally.

I recently signed up to be a Mystery Shopper on several websites and received a text message from what I believed to be one such firm letting me know that my first assignment was forthcoming. In the mail, I received an instruction letter (see attached) and a cashiers check. I was instructed to cash the check, take $265 for my commission, have a $30 Cashiers Check made out to the American Red Cross, and then take the remaining balance to a CVS, Walgreen's, WalMart, or 7-11 to purchase several $500 American Express Gift Cards. I was to observe the level of customer service and report back on my findings. I was also instructed to open the gift card packs and send pictures of both the front and back of the cards and then await further instructions on where to send the cards. I did this and the person I had been communicating with said I did a great job and would be receiving a subsequent assignment shortly. When doing a routine check on my bank account, I noticed that there was a return check fee and the amount of the cashiers check provided to me had been deducted from my account. The check bounced and now I was being held accountable for it. I have been in touch with my bank to hopefully resolve this issue and get my money back. I have also been in touch with American Express to report the cards as stolen but unfortunately they can't do much because the money on the cards has been spent. I have also reached out to the vendor where the funds were used but don't have much hope in getting a response or getting the money back.

Totally fraud. Sent me a check for $2,390.73. Same scenario..as others described.. Deposit it, remove $260. Shop with rest. But AE gift cards for $2K (4 separate cards)…send back images..yadda yadda yadda.. Put it all back in the Priority envelop and shredded!??

I was recently contacted by Polawyn Mckinney via text and email. I received the same letter as others asking me to depost ~$2300, keep $265 for myself, have the $30 cashiers check issued to American Red Cross, and then buy American Express gift cards. Now the check has been returned and we're out ~$2300. Hoping we can get our money back.

RECEIVED a 'Mystery Shopping' assignment with a check for $2390.73. instructions to purchase gift cards, a cashier's check, and send all of it to them within 24 - 48 hours. Check looked legit for 5 seconds, then you realize there is no business name, and that it's not really a valid check (thank goodness I worked in a bank for a year). So annoying!

I received a check in the mail, by priority mail, $2390.73 to be a mystery shopper by this company. I was to return $2000 worth of pictures of gift cards. The balance would be my commission. They also wanted a cashier's check for $30 made out to the Red Cross.
