I received a text message asking if I would be interested in earning extra money from home; as a “mystery shopper” in stores in my area. With each assignment completed, I would receive $300. I agreed, thinking I would contacted for training to be a mystery shopper around the holiday season. A couple of weeks later I received a check for $2340 and a letter with instructions to deposit the check into my account and take the cash and get 4 Reloadit cards to load $500 on each. Then go the the stores listed and spend $500 while surveying the stores “cleanliness”, if there were any “overcharges” if the attendant was “rude” and on a “scale of 1 to 10 how fast and efficient was the service”. I was to then mail the evaluation report to [email protected]. Then I was supposed to mailed the Reloadit cards to a mailing address that would be provided to me after the “survey report” was received. I was to “keep the remaining $300 as my pay”. And the $15.80 and $24.20 was to be used for gas or transportation to and from these stores. When I looked at the company’s name on the check it was a company called “Associated Developer’s Concrete Inc.” - which had nothing to do with Intouch Insight; or being a mystery shopper. So I called the bank that the check was from and gave them the account number. Of course this account was NOT valid. The bank’s rep said “good job” for calling us before you deposited this bogus check into your account. Clearly they were familiar with these types of scams! I went online and discovered that this scam has been going on for a while. Please beware; anything too good to be true usually is - I just didn’t think it would come as a “job opportunity” in times like these where people are losing jobs every day; and these scammers are preying on people’s vulnerabilities. It’s a damn shame!

Above is the actual email sent to me from a college email. After I applied I received an email saying I have been selected and with information about a day later. Then after receiving text messages with the name of my mystery secret shopper coordinator Mathew Nelson, I was sent a check for $2340.00 with a letter. The letter instructed me to deposit the check, to keep $300 and use the rest to buy 4 reloadit packs from 2 stores they listed each for $500. Then email them to receive more instructions.

I still have the original check, letter, and envelope what do i do with them? Shred it ?

Several emails had been sent to me. They stated in three different ways: packet for your shopping first assignment has been delivered to your home address today via USPS, kindly check around for it. Kindly confirm you receive this email. Thanks, Rick W***.

I received this last message before the envelope arrived. A letter with intouch insight on the top gave me instructions to purchase "reloadit" packs. I was then to email a report detailing the nine questions on the letter. I was to deduct $300 of the check (2394.00) and purchase 4 reloadit plus packs (picture included) at two different locations. Then I was to scratch the pins and report the PINS but not activated the cards online. I was then to email my report. Then a mailing address would be provided to send the cards to after my report was received.

The scammers contacted me first via email. It appeared as an email from someone I knew. It said I could be a mystery shopper and earn $300. It clicked on link. It took me to a registration form. I completed it, including asking for two email addresses. About 4 days later, I received an email saying the scammers had selected me. I confirmed receipt of the email. In 2 days, they sent me a priority mail with a letter and a cashier's check for $2294. It then instructed me to cash the check and then (with cash only) buy 4 Reloadit Plus Packs at Gift Card Display Stands of two companies from a recommended list. After I completed the questions for the shopping and sent in my report, they could tell me where to send the cards.The scammers were insistent that I do this all very quickly, even offering a bonus if I did. I suspect that once I bought the cards and sent them or gave them the info, the check would bounce and I would be on the hook for them. (See attachment for more detail.)

About a week ago, I received an email from a Rick Walter of whom I do not know nor do I have any association with. I deleted the email thinking nothing of it. Today, I received a Priority Mail Packet from a David Seward, 86 Ave Maria Rd, Monterey, CA 93940 along with a one-page letter congratulating me on becoming a secret shopper along with a check from Texas Partners Federal Credit Union in the amount of $2,194.00. This check appears to be signed by Sophia Nieter (sp?) with a Ricardo Rubenstein name typed on it. The check number is 646149 with a numbers listed on the above as: 646149 311990511 7810311985416 The one page letter outlines instructions on cashing the check at the bank providing detailed personal information. The instructions go on saying to choose one the stores identified and load up five RELOADIT Plus Packs at the gift card display stand. Each gift card is to be loaded with $360 each with leftover monies for gas purposes. The letter concludes by notifying [email protected] or calling 585-496-4592 to let them know the check was deposited. A "milling" address would be provided to send the cards to after the store report was received.

I have never signed up to be a secret shopper nor have I spoken with anyone about such a thing. How and why I got this notice including the check is beyond my comprehension so I can only assume this is a scam and a serious one, indeed.

I received a text asking me if I wanted to be a mystery shopper. I thought it sounded fun but basically forgot about it. The next thing I know is that I receive a letter and what looks like a real check for $2,2450. They give you explicit details ….when you deposit the check you text exercise received. When you deposit the check you send a text message to 708-568-0327 and state "draft lodged.

You are then to check your available balance within 24 hrs the check should clear. You are told that you can deduct $200 for your salary and the rest is for shopping and expenses. The letter says that the day the funds have been made available and every correspondence after the receipt of thepackage will be via TEST MESSAGE. Your assignment should be completed withing 24 hrs upon receipt of the assignment package so as to enable us to report back to their client with ourown detailed report and also to start the processing of the next assignment

The is a contact name, Charles Cole, Task SUpervisor 708-568-027 at www.intouchinsight.org.

There are two names on the check A.l.A.C contracting corp. general account the bank noted is Northeast community bank, 325 Hamilton Avenue, White Plains,NJ 10601

When things sound to good to be true they usually are.
