While looking online in the want ads, i signed up for this secret shopper. They emailed me as well as texted me. They sent a cashier check for me to deposit into my account and provide services at Walmart, Money Gram. Upon receiving the cashier check, they texted me and said once I receive the Priority Mail to text them and confirm receipt. So I did, and they wanted me to provide the services within 48 hours. I told them it would not be done because the banks were close. I will try after work (which is today 7/14/16). I called the Credit Union to confirm the Cashier Check which I was told it was a scam.

Someone contacted my Mother offering her a job as a secret shopper through her email. She signed up and received a flat rate envelope, priority mail, USPS. Containing a two page document with instructions and a check for $3725.00. The return address on the envelope is,

Wendy Stroud

Wendy ENT

8253 Hidden Acres Road

Mississippi S MS 39762-0156

USPS tracing # 9405 5016 9932 0084 8636 62

I went with My Mother to her bank where she tried to cash this check. The bank teller told her that the check was a fraud. Also explained that if she were to put the check through her account it would result in the account being frozen and then being investigated. My mother is on a fixed income that would have been devastating to her.

The credit union on the check is legit. I doubt the remitter Crystal Lambert is however.

I am sending a copy of the a check(the bank kept the real copy).

I also have the two page document containing instructions

Copies of the emails he has been sending plus text messages to her phone.

They don't know yet that we have found out the check is a fraud and are still making contact.

Thank you for your time
