I don't know why I received this.

I am on so many sites I don't recall if I did something to prompt my receiving this or if there even was a reason. I knew as soon as I received it that it was a scam and I am not easily scammed. If I would have purchased the gift cards and then sent the scammers a copy of the pin then I would not only have to repay my bank for the funds I had used but since I had sent the pins I would no longer have the cards and I would be $ 2,475.50 in the hole. I don't think so. Not in this lifetime. I didn't fall off the hay wagon yesterday. This isn't my first rodeo.

Same thing but a different bank. The bank you supposedly got yours from is my bank and that is not with the cashiers checks look like.

Useful

Same thing. Check for $2463.50 from Columbia credit union. I applied via txt, which is odd. Looking back I feel like duh. As soon as the check came w the letter I knew it was a scam & looked it up... & here I am. My friend got something like this about a year ago but was for a car wrap. He was to call someone to come wrap his car advertising BLUE BUNNY ICE CREAM. The check was for approx the same amt of $. He took the check to the bank, they did a 10 day hold & wouldn't deposit it. LUCKILY they called w in a few days telling him it was a bad check/scam. He banked at a local credit union & are always a great bank. The contact name is PAUL NEWTON from MCA Survey Group. Contact number is texting only & is 646-661-2642. Ss "they" say, if it seems to good to be true, it probably is. Good luck to everyone who found about this too late. My heart goes out to you all!

I got this in mail almost cashed the check
Thank God I didn't
I caught on when they wanted me to take pics and buy gift cards with the money I suppose to have made from SURVEYS
Its all a big SCAM if you do SURVEYS be careful pay attention to the fine print always check with the better business bureau of investigation
If I would have gotten this check cashed I could have went to jail or had to pay it back there's no way I could have paid it back

I dont know why I got this I knew this was a scam I will never apply for a survey job again

I got the same thing from this and the same coordinator but a different number. I received a check of $2,463.50. And they told me to deposit into my account and purchase 4 Apple Card’s that is worth 2K. It is a good thing I didn’t cash the check nor deposit into my account. I’m so sorry about everyone else that fell for it

I received letter of instructions and check for $2,463.50, from MCA Survey Group. I was instructed to deposit check into my bank account and get $2,000.00 in cash for 4 Apple cards - $500.00 each as well as, a cashier check for $20.00 to the kidney foundation. Just found out this was a scam! Thank God, I didn't go to the bank and deposit. Not sure what to do now. They will be expecting me to text them!
Just wanted to help someone else from getting this scam!

I received a check and the same letter others received to be a secret shopper. My bank held the check for 10 days. It was declined on day 5. I was being harassed daily by the scammer via text, to get the status of the check. I told them it was declined today. I have not heard from them since. Clever scam because I believed it and I am pretty skeptical. Glad my bank caught it.

Useful

Scam! See attached photo. Mine is the same as the other reports except the name of the Survey Coordinator on mine is Paul Newton. Also, the expenditures breakdown they have listed and the total amount received is more than the amount on the check.

Received priority mail check for $2475.50 and letter from Walmart store shopping survey evaluation. Mystery shopper assignment. With instructions on purchasing gift cards.

Useful

I recieved the same thing

I received a check for $2,463.50 to be a mystery shopper for Walmart with instructions to go to 2 different Walmart stores and purchase 2 $500 gift cards at each location, get a $20 cashier's check for Kidney Foundation, and keep $400 for myself ($100 bonus to come later if I do this within 48 hrs.) Thank God I decided to check this out online to see if it was legit or not and came across this scam-warning site. So I am adding my complaint to help people realize IT'S A SCAM! The name on my letter is Anthony Wilson, the "check" is supposedly from Educational Employees Credit Union (which does exist- but you will notice the logo is not correct. Also, a bank will have a real physical address, not a p.o. box #) There are 2 different phone #'s on the letter: (510)210-3003 and (510)358-8255. The email address they want you to report to is: [email protected].
I went to a Walmart site and they DO NOT use mystery shoppers!

I also received the secret shopper gift card buying for Walmart my check was worth $2,710 so they're up in the money just to let you know don't fall for it it is one of the worst scams I've ever seen why don't people realize that this kind of thing could hurt everything in their life they've got to open up their eyes and smell the scam they can say smell the coffee smell the scam and they tell you to keep $700 for yourself for all your expenses or your time and trouble don't fall for the scam please I beg you if I could put this on front page news on the Google daily updates I would

I just received this exact one. Same persons name too.

I received a Priority mail for a survey. The check was for $2,467. I am to purchase 2 $500 gift cards from one Walmart, and 2 $500 gift cards from a second Walmart. Then I get $400 for myself with a $100 after survey is completed. Then purchase miscellaneous products with $47 and get a $20 cashier check. Text back to certain numbers. My supposedly Coordinator is Anthony Wilson. I understand that this is a scam, is that correct?
