Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

Signed up for surveys with this company. They sent me a check and instructions for a secret shopper job. I tried to deposit the check as instructed. My bank could not get the routing number to pull up and told me the check was fake. They kept the check and turned it into the police.

I was contacted via email to be a secret shopper for Walmart. I was to evaluate a local store, submit a report, purchase one item under $50.00, keep $200 for myself, and send 2 money transfers ($790 each) to 2 named individuals in Houston Texas. I cashed the check for $1850.00 that was sent to me to fund these activities and waited to see if the check would clear before I did anything. The check was returned to my account today. I would have lost $1850.00 if I had not realized that this was a scam.

Secret shopper program for Wal-Mart. This is how you intially sign up. Next this company called intelliShop mails you your instruction on what they need you to do and it must be completed in 3 days in order to be selected again. This check they mail you takes 3 days to clear the bank therefore forcing you to use your own funds. Even if the ck is cashed and bank find out it's no good your responsible for those funds. This is clearly a scam. Please let others know.

I received a text (from the above phone number) telling my I had been selected from the survey I had filled out to represent Intelli-shop to evaluate the locale Walmart store. They indicated I will be receiving a letter with a check in the mail for $1850.00. $250.00 of it I would be able to keep. I stupidly fell hook, line and sinker on this one! Anyway, I received the letter w the check (which I stupidly deposited in my PNC account). I was then directed to go to the local Walmart Store and do the following: 1. Make a purchase of under $80.00 but take note of the greeter at the door, getting his name and how he greeted me as well as the cashier where I purchased the items taking note of her name and her professionalism.2. I was then to go to their Walmart Money Store as they were suspecting embezzlement from their employees. I was again to take note of the representatives name and professionalism. I was told to make two $750.00 transfers (total of $1500.00) to two individuals that were named in the letter (even when I made this transfer the walmart money store lady asked me if I really wanted to do this as this was cash at the other end! ) After I performed the above duties I was to email the results back to the above mentioned email account. But of course the next day PNC recognized this bogus check for what it was (and I realized why the scammers kept telling me to hurry and do the above after depositing the check so I wouldn't realize they were indeed scammers!! Of course upon discovering I was just scammed out of $1500.00 I went to my local PNC and closed my account, called the local police and the FBI. I felt like a complete [censored] (which I guess I am!-but never again!(

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

I'm a recently widowed senior citizen and money is tight so I signed up to be a mystery shopper. I received a priority mail envelope with a check for $1850.00 from Chase Bank, with instructions that I was to shop at Walmart. I was to buy myself something for not more than $80 and then I was to use the Walmart to Walmart transfer and send $750 to a Clifford Johnson in Houston, Texas. I was supposed to send another $750 to Steve Ferguson, also in Houston. $250 was mine as payment for doing this. I was to go to Walmart and observe the greeter at the entrance and get their name, buy something and get the name of anyone who helped me. When I checked out I was supposed to later record how the cashier greeted me, how professional were they, etc. I was to make sure I did not let on to anyone that I was evaluating them. Afterwards, I was to text or email the receipt to the phone number or email mentioned above. All this was in a letter signed by Ben Dards, Task Manager. I'm so glad my bank, Wells Fargo, caught it before I lost that money. I would have had to pay the bank back and I surely have no money to do that.

I received a text from a company named Intellishop offering me the opportunity to take part in a Secret Shopper Program to evaluate Wal-Mart. I would be evaluating the cleanliness and professionalism of the cashier, also the speed of the transaction. I would be compensated $250 for my participation. Since I'd participated in legitimate Secret Shopper Programs in the past, but never compensated above $35, I thought this would be a great opportunity for me to make extra cash. The text asked me to acknowledge receipt and understanding, so I did.

A few days later I received a USPS Priority Mail package. Enclosed was a letter from IntelliShop and a check for $1,850. The letter congratulated me for pre-qualifying to take part in the Secret Shopper Program and instructed me to deposit the enclosed $1,850 check into my bank and noted that $250 is compensation for my participation in this consumer evaluation.

The first part of the evaluation, I was instructed to purchase any item not more than $80 and to note the cleanliness and professionalism of the cashier, as well as the speed of the transaction. I was also to note the name of the cashier and whether they said "Welcome to Wal-Mart at the beginning of the transaction.

The second part of the evaluation instructed me to utilize the Walmart2Walmart Money Transfer service at the same Wal-Mart store. I was instructed to make a Walmart2Walmart transfer of $1500 ($750 EACH) to:

(1) Receiver's Name: Frederick Leona (2) Houston, Texas 77005

(2) Receiver's Name: Charles Aylward (2) Houston, Texas 77005

Bottom Line: After reviewing the instructions I felt this was a scam and looked at the ScamPulse.com scam list, and sure enough, it is.
