What appears to be a legitimate email is sent from Kroger Co. offering you a job as a secret shopper. The email is quite good and the senders email address seems legitimate as well. There's a brief description of what your job would entail and the mention of the possible level of income to expect. There's and imbedded link on this email that redirects you to an online form. You fill it out with some brief personal info, i.e. address, email, phone number, and you receive a text later confirming you have been selected and approved and your first assignment and payment check is will be mailed and is... literally mailed to you.

On July 22, 2016, I started receiving text messages from a Ms. Clark from the phone number listed above stating that the text was in response to the resume I posted on www.justtechconnectjobs.com (which is not a site I have a resume posted on) for a Data Entry/Customer Service position (which I never applied for). She said that my resume has been selected for an IMMEDIATE interview and wanted me to do an interview via Google Hangout with a Mr. Stone. She was not at all accommodating when I told her that I would contact her when I could get to a computer.

When I finally did get to a computer, I texted her telling her that I was ready to do the interview, but I did not hear anything back from her until on July 23, I was in the middle of supper at a local restaurant that had WI-FI and got a notification that Mr. Stone sent me a Google Hangout IM to do the interview. He claimed to be the interview manager for Capitol Health LTD in Covington, GA. Ms. Clark stated to me in the text messages that it would be a video conversation, but when I chatted with Mr. Stone, it only ended up being just a IM chat.

He asked me these questions:

(@) What do you understand by the term "petty-cash" ?

(@) Are you currently employed/How long have you been looking for a job?

(@)  Are you seeking Full Time /Part Time?

(@)  Do you know how to make use of MS excel and what's your typing speed ?

(@)  We have met several candidates, Why are you the one we should hire?

(@)  Do you have a Printer,Scanner and a Photocopier?

(@) What is your philosophy towards work?

(@) What is more important to you: the money or the work?

(@) If offered this position how would you like to be paid...Via Check Or Direct Deposit,Weekly or Bi-Weekly?

Upon completion of the "interview" he told me that he would have to send my answers to the company's Board of Directors and get back to me in 30 minutes (on a Saturday at 7:00 pm, really?) When he returned, he gave me the news that I had obtained the job and promptly wanted my bank's name, but I would not give it to him. So, I then later sent Mr. Stone an email asking to know more about his identity and requested a phone number so that I could speak to him by phone, but never received a response.
