Attention,

Your first assignment check of USD $2,600 has been posted to you via USPS Priority Mail and will be delivered to you today. Let us know if you need the USPS tracking number of the package.

When received, kindly complete your mystery shopping assignment as stated below. We have also attached the assignment as a PFD file.

[ASSIGNMENT GUIDELINE]

1: Proceed to your bank or credit union to have the check deposited. Funds will be available immediately or in 24 hours.

2: Deduct USD $350 as your commission and logistics fee.

3: Proceed to nearest Store with Onevanilla Prepaid Cards.

4: Purchase 4 Onevanilla Prepaid Cards at store. (See below “Samples” of cards).

5: Go to the register and add cash of $500 to each card. $500 X 4 = $2000

6: Evaluate the quality of customer service delivery, i.e. condition and arrangement of cards at the store and fill out your observation in the Feedback Section below (Page 2).

Note: Under no circumstance should you acknowledge that you are evaluating their services as that will deter the purpose of the program. If asked if you are a mystery shopper, kindly answer NO.

AFTER PURCHASE OF CARDS

7: Open the pack, remove the label in front of the cards and capture clear image of front and back of each card and email to us along with Page 2 of this document. (Phone camera accepted)

The cards are required for the next assignment. You will also use the funds to carry out future assignments. This eliminates the need of posting you checks for other upcoming assignments.

Note, after removing label from the front of the cards, do not reload them or register them until we instruct you to do so.
