I received a text from a number asking me if i wanted 2 b a mystery shopper. I said yes because I applied online the day before. He said I would receive instruction thru FedEx with a money order from USPS. I followed the instruction because I felt that if the money order is thru them then I must b safe. I did this twice and by my 3rd assignment I started 2 get a strange feeling because they kept repeating the same assignment. The web site they sent me too Market force information looked good so I believed.

I received a inbox message on social media from someone that I am friends with informing me of a part-time job opportunity. It contains an email address for an individual and a link to sign up. Once I completed the information on the link ( just name, address, email and phone number) I received an email from the individual explaining the job as a mystery Shopper. All expenses pertaining to the job will be paid and I would be paid for preforming each job. I was also informed that I would receive instructions as to my job assignment but I never received any instructions. I received a check but I am unsure of cashing check.

i received an email regarding a mystery shopping job. i replied and 2 days later received a check in the mail for $2438 and they didn't run any background check on me. obviously there is something wrong with this. they told me to deposit check, get 4 money orders for $515 and $270 is commission i get to keep. i called td bank, where check was issued from and they said definitely does not sound right, to mail the neck to their fraud department. so thats what ill do. don't know what else to do, so contacting you. i could see many dumb people falling for this. please put out a spa and stop these people!

This "Evaluation Team" came up through another website. It offered positions as mystery shoppers. I never followed up, but today when I got home there was a letter from FedEx - priority overnight at my doorstep. Inside is a letter along with a postal money order for $985.50. I have no idea if it is real or not, but the letter of instruction that came with it is very suspicious. It tells me to go shopping at Walmart and spend no more than $10. Then it tells me to go to a MoneyGram store and transfer $825 to an "affiliate" named Daniel Powell in Texas. I am told to email all reports to [email protected]. The letter is signed Blake Taylor (509) 382-7719.

Contacted via email about mystery shopping at Walmart. He told me to pick any Wal-Mart and buy 3 green dot cards. He told me I would be reimbursed, but didn't tell me how. After many questions about certain store, time frame, and how would I get paid, he responded and told me that I didn't have to buy anything, just go and do an observation.

I got an email stating i was a mystery shopper and I would receive a package in the mail today or tomorrow with my first assignment. When I got home the package was there inside the envelope was a single sheet of paper and a check for $2,350. The directions said to put the check in my account and take out $2,000 to buy 4 reload cards for $500 each scratch the numbers off and send the numbers off the cards and respond to the 7 questions they included. Everything was to happen quickly within 24 hours. Thankful I researched the company first!

About 2 weeks ago I was contacted by email by Mystery-Shoppers.com, stating to look out for an envelope with a check and instructions to complete my first mystery shop and receive $300 compensation for doing so. Who wouldn't want to make a few extra dollars right? When I received the mail, i went to the bank and cashed the check for $2350 as stated, went to the Office Depot and purchased 4 "reloadit" packs and load $500 on each, and also review the store based off the pre-designated questions in the instructions. I sent the report which also asked for the pin#'s as part of the report to the person who contacted my by email. A few days later I received a second mystery shop doing the same thing, for the same amount $2350 and so I performed it in the same manner as the last, buying the cards and sending the report. The next day I received a call from the bank, the first cashiers check came back fake! And now waiting for the second one to come back to the bank as it took 9 days for the 1st one to come back. Now today 7/31 I recieved a 3rd check in the mail, looked up the address from where it was shipped and found out it's a printing service!

- Murray, KY, USA

In looking for a job I came across this Mystery Shopper opportunity where I could make $300 per assignment... I signed up on line & a week later received a cashier's check in the mail in the amount of $2,450.49 - I was to deposit the check in to my checking & Upon it clearing I was to Western Union 2 different recipients. I was then to report how I was treated & so on & so forth... I smelled something fishy so googled Mystery Shopper Western Union... Sure enough it came right up... The check you have deposited ends up being no good & you become responsible for paying that money back to the bank...

- Santa Barbara, CA, USA

Applied for job over internet as a mystery shopper. Received confirmation of hired employment and told that assignment would be sent through mail. Received a cashiers check for $1,995.00 and instructions on assignment instructions. Googled everything that I could find on fraudulent businesses and 2017 Corporate Research International which was name listed on bottom of assignment letter and found that the business listed was in fact out of business...!

- Philadelphia, PA, USA

Under the guise of being a Mystery Shopper, I was instructed to cash their $2,710. check; take the cash to various stores to purchase 5 Reloadit (Visa) Packs using cash in $500 increments; the remaining balance, minus the $3.95 fee per pack, was mine. Send an email with all of the codes and numbers from the cards. First, I called the bank the check had been drawn on, Alerus, and was told they could not confirm it was a legitimate check. End of story. It was too good to be true.

They sent me an email then sent me a cashiers check on capital one with instructions on what to do.

The bank informed us this was a altered or fictitious item.

- Rapid City, SD, USA

Sending fake cashiers checks. I actually have documentation from this same scam twice. I didnt see a way to attach two documents. I was only out $10 for returned check fee. However, both the police department and bank told me I was lucky because MANY others were taken for the whole amount. The police did not file a report because I was not out the $2400 and said these scams are imposible to trace. It just sickens me that NOTHING can be done about this except consumer awareness.

- Lacey, WA, USA

They asked me to take a cheque to my bank, cash it, and go to a major store (Wal Mart, et al.) and use their services. Then use Western Union's money sending service.
