Applied via LinkedIn to a role as a Customer Service Evaluator (CSE), received text messages, a FedEx package with the attached letter and a live check in the amt of $2, 450 with instructions to purchase gift cards and retain a commission payment in advance. Finding this site save me from being scammed, hoping to save others as well!

Hello I received a package in the mail 7/26/22, I also got a text message the same day asking if I had received the package and to start the program and text confirm when I have received the package I was super confused when I got this message so I never responded until later in the day when I did open up the package.

The package contained a white piece of copy paper that listed customer service store valuator an abbreviation CSE. I’ll include a picture of this paper but it basically says to cash the check by vanilla visa gift cards in increments of $500 times four which equals $2000 each card will have an activation fee to be covered with $20 left over and any excess funds should be reported. There was a check in my name for the amount of 2450 and I was told to deduct my commission which is $400. After purchased of the gift cards it is said to capture pictures of the front and back and email them to [email protected]

Now this is where things get interesting because I did an online bank deposit for this check because I was curious… 7/27 so the check did clear and it was in my account for about three hours until the bank put it on hold until 8/02/22.

After depositing it into my bank I started receiving more text messages from 1(802)-386-2215 which is not the number they included on the paper they sent me. The number on the paper is (220)-203-8270. So I noticed on this check that it does have perforated edges, so it does feel kind of real the paper is quite thin, and there were a few typos on the actual check instead of it saying California bank and trust it says California band and trust all of the addresses seem to match after doing research.

Several wrong things with this email:
1. It ends with GMAIL not the company name.com
2. They did not address me by my full name, which means it’s a mass cattle 🐄 email distribution
3. No, (end) signature

ALL RED FLAGS IN MY BOOK 🚩 🚩🚩

What I did: I simply looked up the name of the company and it brought me to think page. 🧐

Thank goodness I was trained about this sort of thing at my last job in New York City.

Have no idea where they stole my information. Got email from REPORT DMGROUP. And got mail with a check for 2450$ and instructions to go buy giftcards worth 2000$ and send info to them. Attaching the pictures. I don’t know where else can I report them but this is insane, I am just sorry for people who actually believe this. Don’t ever buy anything on or cash these checks!

Got envelope in the mail. Opened it because I don't remember signing up for any secret shopper thing. Inside was a check for $1450. From Mavis tire company, and as soon as i got this package to text Donald Wright. So i started to read the letter it said to deposit it in my account and take $400 for my pay, I then was supposed to go to Walmart and buy 2 either a Apple gift card or vanilla gift cards $500 each. Then take off the silver on the back and take pictures and them along with the receipt and email then to [email protected] and if I was having any problems at the store to call right away or text 240-547-4818. But I was supposed to keep the gift cards because they were going to be used for some different assignment and the other $50 from the check was my bonus for getting it all done in 24-48 hours. I did a reverse phone number lookup and the phone number is from Marland, the check is from New York and the address on the envelope was from Texas none of the company names matched

Canceled my plans for the day to participate in a study. The driver never showed up. No call, no return calls, no response to emails or voicemails. Seems like a scam.

Today I received this letter in the mail, along with a check for the amount of $2,480 from a Tressa Mower 800 Country Place Dr Houston TX 77079-5528. Thankfully, I researched it before cashing it! SCAM!

This company approached me via email about becoming a secret shopper. On October 18, 2021, I received a USPS Priority Mail envelope with a letter containing instructions for my first assignment and a check for $2,450. I was told to deposit the check, retaining $400 for my fee for the assignment, and to use $2000 to purchase Apple gift cards/Vanilla gift cards for $500 each. I have attached copies of the envelope, the letter and the check. If necessary, you can reach me at [email protected].

Received a USPS package with instructions to be a Secret Shopper. I called the Vantage Credit Union in St. Charles, MO confirming if the check is real. They immediately said that we don't support D&M nor we don't support Vantage Headquarters, Address: 19 Research Park Court, S. Charles, MO

Contacted a company called Pierce Pump, 9010 John W. Carpenter Fwy., Dallas, Texas 75247, (214) 320-3604. Their address is on the USPS returning address. They were told immediately and they are already aware of the information. Authorities have been contacted and the investigation is on-going.

After Purchasing the cards Open the pack, gently scratch or peel the sticker at the back of cards. Take photos of each card front and back and have it attached to report and emailed with your report to [email protected] of text only to 325-326-0448 Keep the gift card safe do not discard as it would be used for my next assignment survey. Things I was to do from survey

Were you promptly greeted? Was the greeting friendly & professional? Did the store clerk ask questions to find out what you were looking for? Was the store clerk knowledgeable about the merchandise? Was the employee wearing a name tag or company shirt with logo? Did the store Clerk thank you upon completion of your purchase? On a scale of 1-10 what was your overall experience? What is the left over amount after total purchase? If you have any additional comments please include with your report?

Important!!!!! We need a clear image of each card to enable us to upload your evaluation reports on our data base and remember maintain social distance.

Consultant I was to report to was Linda Davis

The contact remitter on the check was Jememy Zebert.

I knew this was a scam so I did not cash the check contact my local police who said they could not help me because I did not loose any money. But I notified my ScamPulse.com because people need to know that things like this are happening every day.

Thanks, I just received their email to be a secret shopper.. it's so sad how many people are scamming others these days. I know times are hard but they have no conscience at all, cuz most people that do this kind of actual work are not wealthy by no means.. so basically robbing the poor and/or underprivileged
