This company reached out to me claiming to be a mystery shopper job. Once I applied and information was given, they deposited a fake check into my account and asked me to purchase gift cards. I never took the money out of my account as I suspected a scam. I co tasted my bank and had a freeze placed on my account and the following week the check was reversed and the reason given was fraud. I received 2 more checks from different companies the following week with instructions to purchase gift cards again. I knew the checks were fraudulent so I never cashed them. They continued to text and email me asking why I had not started my mystery shops and wanted to know when I would be completing them.
