Received a check for $1,800.00 from Consumer Insight. The funds from the check were to be used to do a secret shop of any Walgreen's store. The funds were to be used to purchase the following; " You will purchase $500 Steam Wallet Gift Cards in $100 denominations from each store to make $1500..." . The remainder of $300 is compensation for participating. Email/text a picture of the receipt and pictures, both front and back of the gift cards along with the 16-digit code. The letter was signed Sincerely, John Swickerath, Task Manager

Letter and check valued $2350 received under premice of "secret shopper" program. The letter states to purchase 4 google play cards in value of $500 each from each Walgreens and Target, then to text a picture of receipt and redemption code of gift cards. The letter is poorly written with grammatical errors and blurred logo images.

Secret Shopper Scam, earn $300, buy 4 $500 gift cards n text scratched off area for code to 816-518-9098. Official looking check of $2350 n a letter came in the FedEx Mailer. Cash it...Buy a cashier check for $14 to American Lung Cancer AND also photo that n text it to that phone number.

Keep 300 for yourself and 36 for misc expenses n mileage.

Veridian Credit Union in Iowa, said SCAM n form of money laundering .

The check number was still dormant as not assigned yet in their system AND check not even their credit union colors. SAD. fort gable florida comes up when u search the phone no. Excuse of just text contacting as dont want to interrupt or bother working people who r their Secret Shoppers.

A link popped up for a job opportunity on my student portal on the virtual campus for *** Technical University. I accepted the offer, entered my information. A week later the sender, 18 other students and myself were placed in a group chat on text message stating we were selected for a retail evaluation survey. Two night later I received a package with a 2300 dollar cashier check for depositing into my account, and instructing me to go to my local Walgreens and buy google store card in the amount of 500 dollars (2x) from target and Walgreens. Totaling an amount of 2000 dollars, and the remainder was mine for participation and traveling.

I opened up my school email to see what I needed for registration and two emails were waiting for me stating they were from the Job Placement and Student Services office at the University of Iowa and could vouch for the job. I'm always hesitant with these jobs since my mother was scammed the same way and checked their site through https://www.urlvoid.com/ which told me the site was created only days prior. Super fishy and rang a lot of alarm bells. After checking with the ScamPulse.com and other accounts from victims, I was able to avoid recklessly applying and potentially losing a lot of money, even though as a broke college student, the offer sounded extremely tempting. Always double check job offers you get through email, especially if it's not from a job services site like Indeed.

My name is *** *** and I am the *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ** *** *** *** *** *** which is part of the ** *** ** *** *** *** ***. Last week we were notified about consumerinsight.net being responsible for scamming college students in New Jersey out of money. This is a phishing scam which involves students receiving a check from a bogus company identifying themselves as Consumer Insight with a check for $1,875. They recipients (students) are advised that $375 is theirs to keep and the remaining $1,500 is to be used to purchase (3) $500 gift cards at Walmart under the pretense that they are evaluating the various Walmart Stores. Upon purchasing three $500 gift cards they are advised to forward photos including the redemption code to the scammers. These cards can then be used by the scanners and eventually the check is returned as bogus.

The website I am reporting is http://www.consumersinsight.net/ which is impersonating https://theconsumerinsight.com/ which is a legitimate mystery shopping site.

Additionally, Rebecca Lorah, [email protected], also has another domain wrapify.us which she may be planning the same type of scam with the legitimate site https://www.wrapify.com/. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Offering to earn money as a mystery shopper, sends a list of instructions and a cashiers check. You get an incentive if you complete the assignment quickly they hope you do this using your own money before the cashiers check they send you has time to bounce and then your out the money used for the assignment or sent to someone else as part of the assignment.
