Anonymous Shopper Reports & Reviews (1)

- Los Angeles, CA, USA

I replied to a Craigslist ad that was looking to hire an Anonymous Shopper. The job description explained that a company called Midwest Insight was looking for individuals between the ages of 30 and 65 to go to various bars, restaurants, convenience stores, etc., purchase a beer (or, if at a store, various tobacco or alcohol products), and then report if the waiter or store clerk had carded you first. The position offered $45/hour. After I applied via the Craigslist email (with my resume), I was contacted by a man named Matthew B***. He sent me the following:

Hi There!

You've been randomly selected and your application has been approved as one of our anonymous shoppers in your city, and your REF CODE#: ***.

Make every endeavor to reply this message for confirmation, stating that you are ready to carry out your 1st assignment so that you can be in the database & receive your 1st assignment package.

After I replied with the requested information, I received an envelope via USPS. The envelope included a check made out to me from Advia Credit Union (Parchment, Michigan 49004) for $3,628.00. The letter (also from Matthew Burgess) instructed me to deposit the check first. Then, I was instructed to purchase $3,100 in Amazon gift cards ($500 denomination) with cash from a list of stores. Then, I was to "carefully scratch 'silver scratch-off' area of the cards and capture the image 'front & back'," and email the images to Matthew.
