I was sent a fake money order for 988.00 told to deposit into my bank account then keep 200.00 and send the rest to Natalie Roberts in the Philippines.

- Palm Bay, FL, USA

I called this number thinking it was Walmart help center. He said he was. I told him my problem with my order he said he would refund the cost to my account. I didn’t give him my account details. He then wanted to know how I paid for it. I told him credit card I gave him no details. He then tells me to go to my nearest Walmart and buy a $50 gift card. When I said no he then got nasty. I hung up on him.

at least 2 times weekly for the last 6 weeks I have gotten email notice of "my Walmart account was used to make an order " that could be picked up in 4 hours", OR ..."for a gift of $200" ..."if I did not make the order follow us (sic) immediately and click here to cancel..." oddly enough after many of these on and on I STILL do not have any Walmart account so I am just really not sure whose account they are talking about but it isn't mine, nor anyone else's I fear. please do not fall victim to this nonsensicle and ridiculous scam!

I received a packet, priority mail, that had a survey with instructions on it for a Secret shopper at Walmart. Included is a check for $2,850 and instructions to deposit the check immediately into my bank account. Then I was supposed to go ASAP to Walmart to purchase 3 iTunes gift cards for $100.00 each, 3 money orders for $750.00 each and then the other $300 was supposed to be my pay.

I texted the number and the guy told me to hurry, ASAP to the bank and then text him as soon as I got to the parking lot at Walmart. I got the gift cards, but I did not peel the number like they told me to.

About 5 days after the fact, my Credit Union called to tell me that the check was a fake.

- Monroe, GA, USA

Honestly, I am not sure how I got this in the first place. I was looking for part-time jobs and doing some random inquiries and I thought I may have signed up for something with Wal-Mart. I received an email about being a part-time surveyor for Wal-Mart and they requested some basic information from me so thinking I had applied or asked for more info. I responded. The "Supervisor" said they would be sending me a package in the mail and to be looking for it. I have been a secret shopper before so I thought they were going to send me some Wal-Mart products to try and "survey" the quality of them. However, I received a check for $3,682.42 from APCO Employees Credit Union with the Remitter name: Lisa Baker. I knew at this point it was a scam but I thought I would take it one step further so I could give other people more info. so I proceeded to tell "John Taylor" the recruiting officer I had received the package and ask him what the next step was to move forward. By the way, I also kept the USPS overnight delivery package that did NOT come from a John Taylor or a Wal-mart location but rather had the name and return address as follows:

David Vicari

112 S. 3rd Avenue

Laredo, MO 64652-7102

"John" sent me this email with instructions about depositing the cashier check at my bank and waiting for the funds to be available at my bank and then go ahead with the "evaluation" telling me I would get to keep $400.00 of the money for completing the surveys. And then to transfer the remaining money to:

Tom Parker

11 Avon Street

Malate, Manila

Philippines

zip code: 1004

Well, as a previously legitimate mystery shopper, I knew that there was NO WAY they would send me that much money or that they would pay me that much money or never talk to me in person. Typically, in my experience, legitimate mystery shopper assignments require you to pay for whatever it is they are asking you to do and then YOU remit receipts to them for reimbursement and a SMALL payment for services. I really couldn't help but laugh when they said I would "evaluate" the Name and "Smartness" of the staff that attended to me and there were three different names, addresses associated with this and NONE of them were associated with Wal-Mart in any way, shape, or form. I REALLY wanted to find a way to continue my investigation on the scammer but didn't think that it would be possible beyond this point. Just KNOW if it sounds too good to be true, IT IS! These desperate, unethical, without values or morals, people should be ashamed of themselves! I pray that no one gets taken by them and I worry about people who don't know better and are in desperate circumstances which is why I wish I could find additional steps to find out more and put an end to this, but sadly because it is likely someone in another country (the only kind of truth here) scams like this will continue. :(

My husband got a text saying he had won a $1,000 gift card from Walmart. According to Walmart Corporate, costomers would be notified via certified email concerning such winnings.

My wife received a text message asking her to sign up as a mystery shopper on a website (shopperhr.org). We received a check for $1850.50 from which we are told to deposit in the bank, keep $350.50 for ourselves, and then buy $1500 of Walmart gift cards. She was instructed to scratch off the area revealing the code and send pictures to a number.

I see other scams along these lines on the internet. The check is not real. There's no watermark when held up to light. I've attached images of the letter and check that she received.

Letter with check was delivered with instructions to evaluate a Walmart store, and do a money transfer

I was trying to get help with my voice mail from xfinity, and they referred me to their xfinity Mobile help number. I dialed the number I had written down: 888.936.9468 and got a recorded message that said that all operators were busy but I was eligible for a free $100 Walmart gift card if I was interested. Someone came on the line and wanted to send me this gift card, but I needed to pay $4.95 shipping. I hung up, but I assume they next would have asked for my credit card information.

I got online and found that two of the digits in the number I had written down were transposed: xfinity Mobile's help number is actually 888.936.4968 The scammers appear to be targeting xfinity Mobile customers. I reported this when I called in and suggested that they block this number in their system, as it is targeting their customers, and was told there was nothing they can do, that my best course of action would be to report this to the BBB.

Walmart Secret Shopper scam. Deposit check ($1,370,) go to store, be a secret shopper. He letter asks to purchase gift cards and evaluate cashier. But See attached image.

I called the # on the back of my prepaid mastercard which looked like 877-770-8408 & was offered a $100 reward card from Walmart ask me name, address, phone, over & over again also all card information they did not realize it was a pre paid only $18 on it & saying if this is correct say correct finally I told them I just wanted the balance on my card. Told him this over & over - they said they would tell me at the end of call but then they hung up. I called back & again they wanted to sign me up for a $100 card - I tried to tell them I was already signed up & just wanted my balance on my card - But over & over they kept trying & would not listen - finally I said I think this is a scam & Im calling the ScamPulse.com & they hung up on me. Later I learned the correct number was 877-770-6408 at one time they transferred me to 800-373-3411 & said it was an AT&T rewards card (that's who i told it was a scam) I reported to vanilla m/c & to the ScamPulse.com - The way the m/c is stamped on front makes the phone # look like a 8 instead of 6 I just want these people stopped. They charged a $4.95 fee for s&h & it was cj=hraged to blush candles which m/c voided.

I was approached by email saying I've been selected for secret shopper. Deposit this check take 400 for yourself and the other 2200 for shopping. Get 200 in gift cards and the rest in money orders. Photo them with receipt and send to an address overnight. Email me the questionnaire once assignment is complete. Remember you're incognito.

Fake check for Walmart secret shopper. Letter signed by Tony Perelman sent multiple instructional packets out via USPS to people in IA, TX & IL. The returned address listed on the envelope came back to a law firm. A total of 3 envelopes were received by the law firm and all contained checks. The checks were not cashed so no money is lost.

- Detroit, MI, USA

I was sent a text asking if I wanted to be a secret shopper. I answered, yes. They informed me that I would be receiving $350 for my secret survey evaluation and that a package would be delivered with further instructions. I was also told to respond back immediately once I received the package. After receiving it I opened it and there was a check for $1,954.81. I immediately thought this was a fake but everyone kept telling me it was a real check. The instructions didn't seem to clear so I put the package to the side. I later received a text from the scammer asking why I had not responded. I text back that I had received it and would do the evaluation the next day. I guess I took too long as I received another text asking about my progress. A flag went off and I decided to research the company and could not find it . I sent a text asking them why do they want me to send $758 to to 2 strangers . They gave me some crazy explanation and I replied by saying that I would deposit the check but they would have to wait until it cleared before I wire transferred any funds . It took them a minute to respond. I sent them a text telling them that I believe they were trying to scam me as it was taking too long for them to respond . He eventually text back and said it was okay but wanted me to send a copy of my deposit slip. I eventually told them that they were scam artist and that I was reporting them to the FTC. I have not heard back from them since then.

Sent a check with this letter below.

Check was for $1570.00 from "First Source Federal Credit Union"

I have received several calls saying I won $100.00 from Walmart, Target, and more several months ago and need to claim it. I block the numbers after each call , but now I am receiving post cards with the number to call to claim the prize. It is getting very annoying! How do I stop all of this? I was encouraged to contact BBB. Is this the correct move?

- Canyon, TX, USA

Received a letter and a cashier's check saying I was pre approved for a secret shopper opportunity at Walmart. The check was for $1,750. I was told to deposit the money and keep $300 as compensation for myself. The letter also said to make a Walmart to Walmart money transfer of $690 to one person and $690 to another person. The letter was pretty specific w/ instructions to not tell anyone what I was doing at the store and to take pictures and send to Steve Kellpourie. I knew it was a scam so I took it to the Canyon Walmart and they're sending it to Corporate. I also contacted ScamPulse.com to report this.

- Aberdeen, MS, USA

I recently completed an online survey presented as: Walmart survey $50. After answering the questions, I was given the choice of several products as my gift to only pay shipping to receive. I only selected one item and agreed to pay the shipping cost. I payed the shipping with my debit card. I recently checked by bank account and noticed I had to charges: One for $99.97 and another for $99.57. I called the number listed with the transaction information and found out that I was expected to pay over $200 for the watch that was suppose to be a free gift and another $200 for a necklace I had not even selected. After much discussion, the company agreed to reimburse my account for the full amount and sent emails saying my account was closed and I would be given back my money. That was two days ago. I have not had the money reapplied in my account as of today. I have tried to contact Walmart to inform them of this scam but have had no luck getting in touch with them.
