I received a priority mail envelope with a check for 2850. and instructions on what to do for the survey.

- Jefferson, GA, USA

Asked to be a secret shopper for Kroger’s. Sends me by priority mail UPS a check for $2650.00 to cash and keep $400. Go cash check, go to store to spend $50 and eval store. Get 3 money orders and send to a person.

- Mansfield, OH, USA

First contact was through email. Second was a text. Third was a FedEx mailer. Initially the offer was to be a secret shopper and earn $400. The instructions from the FedEx mailer read differently. There are 3 tasks to perform once the cashiers check was to be deposited to the bank account and to scan a copy of the deposit and send it as confirmation to proceed with the 3 tasks. Well, the check has not been deposited. Suspected it couldn't be legit. Received several emails and texts pushing for the tasks to be completed. Those emails and texts are now blocked.

Kroger Secret Shopper with a cashiers check of $2650.00.

Original contact via email from Kroger.com (careers @ kroger.com) to shop for free @ Kroger. Review local store(s) with $200 gift card to spend. Sign up asked for cell number stating all correspondence would be via text. Text from Phil Goldman, 424-257-6468, head of operation for the Kroger Secret Shopper. Packet received with assignment letter and $2650.00 Cashier's check. Instructions to cash/deposit the funds, collect a receipt to be used in evaluation. After transaction is complete, write a detailed report on the quality of the transaction with focus on customer service. Please make sure the clerk/institution is unaware they are being evaluated. Specific note: Were you able to withdraw the funds the same day as transaction or were you required to wait. Once deposited, be sure to email a scanned copy of your deposit receipt/slip and evaluation so they are aware assignment has started. Instruction to proceed to next instructions. "Follow the steps to execute your task correctly without any error".

Detailed description in attached documentation

Text message said that I had been selected for this opportunity to work at my own pace and serve as a mystery shopper. Received numerous texts regarding this assignment and a tracking number sending it by USPS. Priority mailed arrived as advised containing welcome letter and cashiers check in the amount of $2450.00. It didn't smell right from the getgo and I did not comply with the offering. This is one of the instances where it sounded too good to be true and I did not participate, but I can see why someone else might be fooled into losing a couple of thousand dollars.

I answered either an email or website ad for secrete shopper opportunity. It sounded interesting. Then I received a text from a Dave Goldman, Head of Operations. It was so odd I didn't respond. A few days later, I received a cashiers check in the mail for $2400 and the opportunity to shop at various stores and conduct a survey. The instruction include speedy cashing of the check, sending some money to another secrete shopper via fed ex, using some of the money to buy product, and some of the money left for my service. I'm repulsed by the level of deception in the affair. I did not previously understand how cashier check fraud works, but the law requires speedy delivery of the money if cashed, but once you have used the money (i.e. sent off to another shopper), the money is gone, but the bank finds out that the check is fraudulent and then you become responsible for the money taken from the bank.

Uff, what a scam.

- South Lyon, MI, USA

I received a Cashier's check via Priority mail from return address: Helma Heartman, 12975 Romero Ln, Victorville CA 92394 for $2,450.00. The letter enclosed said it was for a Kroger Secret Shopper and I was to cash the check, make some purchases and buy some money orders and send them with NOTHING written on them - left blank - to another "undercover secret shopper". The letter was signed by Mr. Steve Goldman, Head of Operations.

I received a text message Oct. 18th, 2017, that my check in my name was in the mail. So I texted back "What is the check for? No responce

so being it was a bunch of B.S. I forgot about it....then Friday Oct. 20th, 2017 I opened my mail up and sure enough there was a check, this

person just copied a check because this check wasn't even cut out or not even the line to make it easier to detach when you fold it. Saturday

Oct. 21st., 2017 I received another text from Mr. Mike Stein (Head of Operations For KROGER SECRET SHOPPER) wanting to confirm if I was still interested in the shoppers assignment I applied for so we can proceed. I haven't reply nor am I going to. The End

- Mulvane, KS, USA

I signed up for a Kroger secret shopper job online. Received a very legitimate looking check with watermarks and other security features. I was told to keep $250 for myself, and make two Walmart transfers and evaluate the wire transfer process. The transfers were to a New York address.
