Type of a scam: Fake Check/Money Order

I received this postal letter in the mail with a check of $2,895.00, $400. of which I could keep. I was to call them and deposit the check. Then buy $2,400 worth of Gift Cards then e-mail them with the pin numbers and 16 digit codes. I was to not tell walmart what I was doing. they had 6 questions I was to observe while I was doing this. I was to do this in 24 hours. Of Course, I was suspicious about the check. So I didn't do it. Would you like a copy of this information and the check? I am not sure I can do this by internet.

Type of a scam: Fake Check/Money Order

I responded to an email about becoming a mystery shopper. I then received a second email stating I would receive a package of information. Today by Priority Mail I received a check in my name and instructions on how I should deposit it in my bank account and keep $300.00 for myself and send $960.00 VIA money gram transfer to Denis Mitchell Texas. and again the same amount to Robin Hughes using a Walmart to Walmart transfer. I am glad i researched this scam online. Don't fall for it as I know there are legit jobs for Mystery shoppers out there.

Type of a scam: Fake Check/Money Order

I was connected by email saying away selected to be a "mystery shopper". Was told to be looking forward to receiving instructions along with payment for my shopping and monies to shop with..It came in Priority Mail. I cashed the money order and went shopping for ITune Cards..Weeks later received supposedly my 2nd assignment . Similar to the first method just this time it was a cashier's check and to purchase Reloadit Plus Pack. Little did I know in the end somehow it got to be my money now the bank wants to deduct from my acct..even in light of all the emails and pictures I have on my phone to verify exactly what was young on, un beknieing to me...for I just knew it had to be legit because my bank cashed both and Never once flagged my acct or mentioned anything to me about possibly being scammed UNTIL afterwards and even then very casually said the "mystery shoppers" scam have been going on for years..Mind you on the very FIRST transaction(money order) I noted "mystery shopper" bank did not think to flag my acct nor confront me to make be be aware of what they knew to be suspicious...please please do Not accept anything from Anybody you do not know and please please do Not use this bank as your financial institution..customer service is way below confidence and security you want to feel with your banker..

it was a job offer to perform surveys in the stores, rating them; 2x a week for $450 apiece. Then they sent me a Priority Mail from Ampex Corporation; a postal Money Order for $1000. and instructions to first confirm I got it and then cash Money order at my bank. then you are to evaluate any store that sells iTunes Gift cards. I am to buy $800. worth of cards in denominations of $50 and $100 only. then scratch off the pin number and take picture of front and back of the card clearly so they can read the pin number. I am not to tell anyone that I am a secret shopper and give observations of Cashier, name if visible and their dress; neatness and smartness. How long did it take to to purchase the cards; provide iTunes gift card PIN numbers (usually 16 digits) and so on. the thing that threw me is on the bottom it has the ScamPulse.com Accredited Business label.

I was job hunting when I saw a listing for mystery shoppers I sent an application and a few days later a Priority Mail Envelope came. I closed was a check and a letter explaining what I was to do. I took the check to my bank where they informed me that the cashiers check was fraudulent and told me if they were to deposit it Into my account it would cost me thousands of dollars. For days after receiving the check someone was texting me about the money . When was I going to make the deposit and to let them know ASAP when I did by text message. If I wouldn’t have had it checked out by my bank this person was waiting for me to wire money to 2 two other people in Texas

I'm worried that the forwarded information (with my SSN!) will be used by what I've construed, after sending this info., to be a pfishing scammmer. Can you investigate this internet hoax-er? I did not give them anything else except my address, phone, age, & SSN, but they have continued to send me solicitations to deposit a check in my bank account...which I never received!

I received a email asking if I wanted to be a mystery shopper and make $300 a week. I clicked the button that said yes and I was told I would be contacted soon. Around a week later I received a second email that told me I would be receiving a package in the mail then to wait for more instructions. I received a package this past Friday and it was sent priority mail and it was a check. Today I received an email that asked me to deposit the check in my bank account then withdraw the cash and deduct $350 and transfer the remaining $1500. Benjamin Anthony was to get $750 via Western Union and Paul Wright was to get $750 using the Walmart to Walmart transfer. I did not deposit the check. I did my research and contacted BBB instead.
