They wanted me to be a Mystery Shopper, but they sent me fake money orders! They wanted me to buy a bunch of Google Play cards! I believe I had found an app that wanted me to be a Mystery Shopper and then they sent me stuff in the mail with directions on whom to contact as soon as you get it and text only and then go buy Google Play cards with the so-called money that they give you! Which in reality they most likely wanted my bank information and then I would get slammed with having to pay the money back that the bank gave to me! The money orders have been stolen out of my apt so I hope no one is trying to cash them!

omg this Jim Mont guy just got me. I have already spent my part of the money on bills but thank god I havent gone out and bought the gift cards yet so I can atleast return that to the bank and inform them of what happened. I cant afford this. Covid has financially drained our family resources smh. It was a check for $1950. I feel so stupid.

DO NOT ACCEPT A SECRET SHOPPER JOB FROM THEM!!! They will send you emails upon emails and then eventually they will send you a package via the US Postal Service and it will have a letter in it and a check that they want you to deposit into your account; DO NOT DEPOSIT the check because it is a counterfeit check and it will cause your bank account to close out. xzbn vbgd

Received a text and email from a person named Crystal Keith claiming I was hired For a mystery shopper position I applied for through indeed. I had completed so many applications I could not recall if I had applied for this position. She tells me I have received a package in the mail containing my first assignment and payment, inside was a paper with detailed instructions and a check for $2340. As per the instructions I deposited the check and withdrew $2000 as that was what was needed to complete the assignment l, the other $340 was my supposed payment. I was tasked to purchase $2000 worth of gift cards to Walmart, Sephora, eBay, Amazon, and Steam, in cash and then send pictures of the cards, front and back with codes scratched off and visible, and “reviews” of my experience with the employee. A week later I get notified by my bank the check has bounced. Leaving me with a balance of negative $2340. I have not been able to get in contact with anyone from that “company” again. I am between jobs and the offer was too good to be true, I fell for it and am now paying the price.

The scam is that this company sends you out a postal money order check for $950.37 cents and wants you to deposit the money into your checking account to pay for the $800.00 ebay gift cards that you are to go to 2 stores that are in your area and purchase these cards, and then you are supposed to scratch the cards and send the pin numbers and take pictures of the cards with your cellphone and then email it back to them, but then also don't tell the employee that you are customer service or evaluating there store for effective evaluation while purchasing the cards, and that the $950.37 cents is to cover your assignment bills and evaluation costs, and that leaves you with just $150.00 for commission payment.

I recieved a first class envelope. Inside was a money order for $950.37 and instructions to go to at least 2 different store and buy $800 worth of Ebay gift cards and scratch off the pin numbers and send them in an email or text. The company doesnt exist and you cant call the phone numbers, only text. Clearly a scam.

I do not really know if this is a scam, just want to make sure if it is or if it's legit. Thank you. Received priority mail with $2,300 check with instructions to deposit check in my bank account and the buy Walmart Gift cards in denominations of $500 or $100 only, scratch the card, and send the pin/serial number to e-mail or phone stated.

I received and email stating that I had been offered a position as a secret shopper/ customer. Two days later I received another email saying that my application had been approved. I have applied for Secret shopper positions in the past but nothing ever came of them so I was unsure if this was a result of one of those applications or not. A few days later I received a priority mail envelope with a cashiers check for $2300 and instructions on how to go about the survey which included going to at least two stores to purchase gift cards in either $100 or $500 dollar increments with the total purchase equaling $1,000 at each store. I was then to take pictures of the cards, making sure to include all edges and corners, scratch off the silver pin area (which must show in the pictures), and then send the images and the pin numbers via text to a Scott Coleman at 619-363-3215. The emails I received (3 in total) each came from a different address: 1st- from Walmart at [email protected], 2nd- from Chris Knutsen at [email protected], and 3rd- Scott Coleman at [email protected]. I found this fishy so I called Walmart's corporate office and spoke with a customer service representative who confirmed that this was a scam. I gave them all the information that I had and they were going to forward it to their fraud department. She also told me that if Walmart was going to send anyone anything the email would have an @walmart.com suffix to it.

I received an email message. and there was a mystery shopping job. I was sent a check to deposit in their banking account and told to deduct their commission. I was instructed to purchase Walmart gift cards of varying amounts, so they may "evaluate" the store's customer service. To prove they performed the task they must send a picture of the code on the back of the gift cards to Mystery Survey. I determined that this was a Scam and told them so. I looked on the internet and determine it was a scam and a fraud.

I received a Customer Service Evaluation Tool (CSET) and a cashiers check from Mystery Survey. The check was written against First National Bank in Abilene, TX for $1955. I was to deposit check and purchase iTunes Gift card worth $1655.  I was to evaluate the store from which i purchased the iTunes gift cards: Kroger, Target, Walgreen, Costco, Rite Aid, Kmart, Publix, Best Buy, Home Depot, Speedway, CVS, 7/11, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Dollar General, or Rite Aid. I was told not to disclose for any reason that I am a customer service, or let them know I am evaluating their store for effective evaluation while purchasing the cards. The CSET also said I was to purchase $400 worth of cards from each store, in denominations of $100 or $50 only. I was to scratch the cards where the pin/serial numbers are and use my cell phone to take a picture of each iTunes gift card adn email or text them. 

The letter was signed by Adam Phillips, and has the BBB logo on it.

I received a U.S. Postal money order for $989.00 with the name of Kaliegh Kogers 7711 Waterford Lakes Dr. charlotte NC 28210. I also received 2 pages of instructions describing how to be a mystery shopper. I was to immediately deposit the (U.S. money order which definitely looked legitimate) and transfer back $720 back to the name of Genevieve Fuller, and it had Saco, Maine 04072 for the recipient. My 'job' was to be a 'secret shopper' to the Walmart store in my area and upon arrival of the envelope, I was to either email 'them' or send a text to the above number letting them know I received everything. I was to also 'evaluate' the moneygram and Walgreens in my area.

I was told that the evaluation should be completed in 48hrs, and the instruction letter had a typed name of 'Christopher Glass'.

I was online everyday looking for a job...then I received this letter and a money order to me for $998.00. They wanted me to go to Walmart and get two $400.00 gift cards and scratch the card pin number and take a picture and send it to them : text two different phone numbers: Collins Hickman (713) 903-7148 and (814) 757-6139. their E-mails were [email protected] and the other was [email protected]! I did NOT deposit the check because I knew better and wanted to research this first.

I’ve been scammed by an job market company promising my a job. They had me deposit a check that later ended up bouncing two day after I completed the job. It left me so in the hole that I’m still trying to climb out of. Please beware of these people.

I received a check for $1850.00....it was went from California for a "mystery shopper" job that I don't even remember applying to. I was informed in the letter to use the money to buy iTunes gift cards from various stores, scratch the pin/serial numbers and email or text them pics of the cards. I was also informed to keep $350 for myself.

I checked the ScamPulse.com and read about several scams like this so I decided to report this one as well.
