I got an email in my student e-mail from a David T***. He said he needed a personal assistant to help him with his company because he "travels a lot" and as a student trying to pay for his tuition, I could use the extra money, so I give him my number and address. About a week later, I was mailed a big check in the mail. It was a blue one, too. I didn't proceed any further until he explained to me what was going on. Later that night around 2, 3 am, he texts me to deposit the check in the bank and then go shopping at Walmart. He repeatedly blows up my phone; therefore, I was skeptical enough to do research on what this was all about. Shortly, I come to find it's a scam. This made me angry, so I told him off. I told him "You are a scam. I'm not getting involved. Do not ever contact me again." Then I tore up the check and threw it all in the garbage because that's all it was...garbage and mischief I wanted NO part of. After I told him off, he was angry with me. He cussed me out. He threatened me with incarceration, the law, and with the FBI. He called me a liar and just ran his mouth. And that was it. I never heard anything again and I don't plan to. Scams should never be sent to students who are in college. Maybe that's why it was in the spam folder to begin with. I have set my e-mail to where I no longer receive junk like that. It's criminal, mischievous, and illegal. Thank you and have a nice day.

I was contacted via text message about secret shopping.Then email after is said ok. I didn't get any red flags at this time when I filled out some info. (I did leave out some). After I sent it back. I didn't get a reply, which I thought was strange. I then instantly emailed back telling them I wasn't interested anymore.

Today (11/25/16) 4 days after the email. I recieved a letter and a cheque in the mail. (Cheque for $2,970.00). I am supposed to call someone once I get the cheque to recieved further instruction at the number above.

I was going to until I looked at the addresses on the envelope, the letter and the cheque. All different. I looked online for the business name thats on the cheque and only got some oil company. Nothing to do with secret shopping.

I don't intend on calling any number or email. I simply want others to be aware.

I received an offer to be a mystery shopper. The email said I was accepted and they would mail me a check for almost $4000.00 to help get me started. I find it hard to believe they would give me a check without even meeting me. I think its a scam to get a check cashed and rip me off.

I can forward the email to you if needed.

Type of a scam: Fake Check/Money Order

I received an email from an organization Called Corporate Research International; purporting to be the #1 employer of mystery shoppers. They then sent me a check payable to me for $ 2,495 which deposited into my bank at Oak Hill Bank in Culpeper, Va. They told me to send them and email and a copy of the deposit slip after the deposit had been made. They then indicated that the funds would be available in a few hours or the next business day. They then told me to go to the nearest Western Union office and evaluate that location as part of my job. I did not do that nor did I send them my bank information. Glad I did not. Check was fradulent. bounced in two days. Also they had asked me to send money orders from Western Union to Levi Harrison; 890 High Oak Dr; Bellville, TX 77418 for $ 1,100 and Steven Carroway; 5974 Fm 1827 McKinney , Tx; 75071 for $ 1,000. The balance of the funds I could use a my discretion or approx $ 395. Glad I did not rely on this scam. Maybe you can stop them. Thanks, Frank

Answered email to be secret shopper. Send me letter with MoneyGram for $987. Told me what to put on in to fill out and then to cash at my bank. Take $150 for myself, spend $10 at Walmart. Get shopper info on cashier. Take balance money to a MoneyGram store and get money gram and send to an address in letter. I was lucky the teller at bank realized something wrong and said couldn't cash it.

Applied to be a mystery shopper and received a $2,320 check in the mail from a restaurant in Indianapolis. There were no instructions with the check but came in an envelope. I am now receiving emails with instructions on what to do with the check. I looked up the restaurant and called them asking why they would want me to be a mystery shopper for them. The owner stated that their bank account has been compromised and the check is not from them. I did not cash the check but wanted to let others know.

Total money lost: $4,625
Type of a scam: Fake Check/Money Order

I was offered job as a mystery shopper and was sent checks in mail and then told to cash. From that point I would do a shop and then rest of money I would have to send Moneygram from that location to someone else in another state. Each check was $925.32 and I have done this 5 times. Today I check my bank account and there is a withdrawal for $925.32 which means I was scammed. So now these other 4 amounts might come out and I am out of MY own money. I filed a police report with my local police too. It was a foolish thing for me to do and will never happen again. This was also an online application.
