Sent me a Cashiers Check from a Bank in CA in Amount of $2500. asking me to deposit funds into my acct. (as soon as I do , email them so they can make funds available). Then go send 2 money orders to 2 guys in Texas. This is all to evaluate MONEY GRAMS service.

- Canton, OH, USA

Recieved check for $1998 was told to moneygram 800 and 825 to Texas and keep the rest. Once I did it was suppose to text 334-603-2503 to confirm.

- Marana, AZ, USA

I received a Cashier's Check in the amount of $1,880.00 along with a letter. The letter states: "The check attached to this latter represents $1,880.00 that covers the assignment bills, evaluation costs and also your secret service evaluation payment (Assignment Payment $250) and extra $50 to cover cost of gas/transportation, as well as the Moneygram Tranfer charges".

I was told to confirm receipt of the package via email, deposit the check through any options offered by my bank.

Assignment A was to spend $20 by shopping for products from either Kroger or Walmart and to email the details for evaluation (the name and address of store evaluated, product purchased and how much it cost, customer service professionalism.

Assignment B was to proceed to any Walmart and Moneygram stores and send Moneygram & Walmart-2-Walmart money transfers to two recipients, who's names and addresses were also provided, in the amount of $780 each then also email the details.

A copy of the letter is attached.

This says I am an independent contractor and they sent a 'cashier's check for $2880 to which I'm supposed to put it my bank account and email him when its in and send a copy of deposit slip showing same. Then, wait till money is available, take it out and send a moneygram to 2 people for $1250 each and keep $300 plus $80 for the moneygram charge and then send them a list of evaluations of the moneygram store where I purchased the $1250 moneygrams to be sent on to two more customers. It almost sounds real, except for the fact that what reason would there be to put this is my account first. A cashiers check can be cashed at any bank. This said wait till he calls to make the funds available and why couldn't I just send it from my own account. This looks like a scam to me. I have no idea where he got my address other than things I've ordered on the internet. Is it possible that this is not a scam. If so please let me know. This is being reported as a possible scam. Nothing has happened other than I'm hold this cashier's check.

Thank you for looking into this.

I signed up to do a secret shopper job. I was supposed to take in a cashier's check, to my bank, deposit it, and then send out two transfers to two people. I have heard of this scam before, so I did not try to deposit the check or make the transfers.

I received several emails then I received mail through the post office with instructions and a check for 1950.49. I deposited the check in my account they closed my account n won't tell me why. Now I can open account at *** Bank.

Received a check for$2449.00 and a 1pg. instruction sheet to deposit the check into my account and that lets them know that the right person has the check then wait one day and withdraw the money for the assignments $350.00 my commission, $159.00 to cover moneygram fees, the balance of $1940 to complete the assignment. Go to Two different Wal-Mart MoneyGram locations and send a moneygram from each location for $970.00 to each of the people listed on the assignment sheet. Mark Yamin 210 Burnside Dr. Fort Worth TX 76177, James Keeton 4812 Cruse Houston TX 77016 then send an email to Alexander Frey at [email protected] with the receipts, senders name, receivers name, reference # for each transaction, amount sent after deducting charges for transfers, name & address of store evaluated, how long it took to do transaction, rating of customer service at location on a 1-5 grade scale.

Then there are instructions that under no circumstances are you to tell them that you are a mystery shopper, and that you were to tell them that you know the people that you are sending the money to.

corporate research international. They emailed me and sent a check of 1,997.00 to use at western union. right when I saw the "job" description of Western Union, I knew something was up. I tore the check up. But, the pkg says it is from a Pamela gray at Central High school in phoenix.......

Email sent from Ryan Mass at [email protected] very professional, well written, asking me to be a mystery shopper. I agree as I don't have to send any SS or anything too personal. However, package arrives in mail (priority shipping to see more legit) that is asking me to take check of $1950.49 to my bank, deposit and keep my share which is $280 and $132 to cover western union fees. They then want me to "secret shop" western union and transfer $760 to two different shopper so they can "secret shop" at their locations. I assume that the check won't clear (fake) and I'll be responsible for all the fees and for the money I transferred through western union. I have not responded to Ryan Mass since getting the package yesterday but he has sent me email wanting my reply. There was a phone number for texts 712-520-6388 including on the letter with the check. If you want any more info let me know!

Mystery Shopper company called "Corporate Research International", They were supposed to be a legitimate mystery shopper company, sent me a bogus $1950.00 check. Had to freeze my bank account, this is a complete rip off company...Was supposed to be a mystery shopper job, I was to send 2 money grams, one from Wal-Mart and one from a Money Gram office, two separate amounts, 1 for 800.00. and 1 for 830.00. I was to keep the rest for the 2 mystery shopper jobs..After depositing their check I searched online and found out this is a scam operation and NOT tied to CRI, Enclosed is the fake check .
