I received an email job offer (which I had signed up to Kroger to receive a local job in Colorado) which said it was from kroger and said I would like to apply. They said I got it and that I should expect a package in the mail to evaluate. What I received is what tipped me off this might not be legitimate. A letter and a check for $***1,900.00 with instructions to deposit the check and keep $300.00. with some conditions about whether i completed the task in 24 hrs or not, that there would be a bonus. (I can include a picture of this) Next i shouls buy e-bay gift cards from Kroger stores (King's Super in my town) and answer a survey about the transaction then not to spend the cards but scratch off the pin and send a picture to the email address provided and SMS/text. So, the check is from Scottsdale AZ, but the account is in Austin, TX but the letter is from Orlado, FL. None of these is a Kroger location I know of off their business site, so it raised several red flags with me. It could be legitimate but it seems not to be, and the risk of almost $2000 dollars and my own bank account seems very fishy. I will hold on to this and the e-mail until i know for sure. hopefully from you.

On 11/04/19, I purchased a $500 gift card from Kroger (2110 Oakwood Ave, Huntsville AL). When I purchased the card, the cashier called

a man over to scan the register. I was allowed to use the card a couple of times, before they blocked it. After they blocked me from using the card; they started using it. There was a balance of $352.00. The last time I checked it was $335.97. When they found out I was tracking the use, they stopped using, for now. On 12/11/19, I called the number on the back of the card (888-853-9536). The female said they put a restriction on my card; and will not take it off until I fax to them my SS# and birth date to (855-218-8823). I refused. As of this date (06/06/20), they have not taken the restriction off. I have talked to an assistant manager of Kroger. He said Kroger cannot do anything. I filed a report with Officer B. Smith (08683) of the Huntsville police department. He turned the case over to Investigator Steven Lineberry. Inv. Lineberry took a picture of the front and back of my gift card; with his personal cell phone. Later, when I contacted him via e-mail; he said there was nothing he could do. I contacted the Kroger assistant manger again. He said that no police officers/investigators questioned any Kroger employers about my case.

I received a "Kroger Instructional Memo" with a cashier's check from an Alaskan Federal Credit Union for $2,850 to perform secret shopper duties. I was to spend $100 on anything at a Kroger or Walmart and answer a few questions about the experience; then I was to go to two MoneyGram locations and send $1200 from those 2 different locations and the payouts should be in PESOS; There were 2 separate names with addresses I was to use to send money transfers to the Philippines Again, there are a few short questions to answer about the experience. I received this paperwork and 'cashier's check' via priority mail 2 - day USPS on a Saturday and the following Monday, I received a text message that I should have received a packet with instructions and need to complete the secret shopper ASAP. This is obviously a scam - I am sure the intent is that a person will deposit the check, conduct the shopper duties only to find out in 7-8 business days that the cashier's check has bounced and they hope you'll send all the money before you figure it out. CRAZY - but I am sure some people will be deceived by this ploy.

Received an email offering a job as a 'Secret Shopper' for Kroger stores at the email I used for Kroger account. Email sent me to the web site to 'sign up'. Received letter in the mail shortly thereafter, with a 'cashier's check' for $2,850. The assignment was to shop at Kroger, and then to send money to the Philippines by Moneygram. Accompanying letter was not professional, and not good English.
