I received invitation for secret shopper via email. Said that would send a check with commission included and I would shop the walmart and western union. Please send your email and personal info(address phone number etc). They a check for 2900 and wanted me to cash it and send the money of 2700 to an address in poland. Very disturbing. I sent an email and they sent back to complete assignment and then hacked into my email. Did not attempt to take money yet but I am not sure if my computer has been hacked. I did run a scan at staples and put alerts on my accounts.

Job Bank, job posting, Mystery Shopper, www.premierservice.ca wanted you to register, which is normal, except when they asked me for my SIN# and my PayPal account information, red flags started to go off. I believe this is a scam. Then I thought I went on the BBB site and it was not sent me to Mystery Shopper and wanted me to join the [email protected]. Sent email asking for info on how to be a mystery shopper, sent email back to me asking for money. Again, red flags. According to info on BBB legitimate mystery shopper sites don't ask you for money* ** *** *** I did not send any money or give them my SIN # or PayPal account info, I was sent an email from the [email protected] and replied back telling them that I was going to report them.

On September 4, 2015, I received an email saying that I have been selected to participate in a mystery shopping experience. I do not remember if I actually signed up at one of the websites from a long time ago. On September 9, I received another email saying that they mailed me the check and gave me instructions to deposit the check worth $2340.00. The packet came via USPS Priority Mail Express. According to the return address, it came from Coldwell Banker Res Broker 2095153792, 175 Park Avenue, Madison, NJ 07940 The initial assignment stated that I will shop at a local Walmart store for no more than $50.00, then wire $1000 using a MoneyGram and another $1000 using a different MoneyGram location to send to another mystery shopper. This check is supposed to be broken down to the following expenses:

Assignment salary = $250

Walmart = $50

Amount to be transferred to a Javares Peyton = $2000

Remaining amount for money transfer fees.

So I deposited the check 09/10/2015 and the money became available the next day (09/11/2015) and I carried out the assignment. I took out the $2040 cash and wired it to a Javares Peyton from 2 different MoneyGram location with the following reference numbers: 81962145 and 71670365. The next day, the person that has been contacting me wanted me to do an urgent task of wiring another $250 stating that the other mystery shopper needed it to finish his assignment. It was then that I started to think that this transaction is shady. I went online and googled and found a website with warning signs on scammers. I filed a complaint on the Federal Trade Commission. On 09/14/2015, I received a response from Federal Trade Commission with a link Fake Checks - http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0159-fake-checks to assist me. This link, however, is only helpful in spotting fake checks. I have already carried out the assignment and had removed cash from my bank account. I felt so helpless and depressed thinking that there is nothing more that I can do. On 09/15/2015, my bank removed the $2340 and it was then that I really realized that I have been scammed the amount of $2340.

I had applied on line for a Mystery Shopper Job. They sent me a check for $1,860.00. I was to deposit it into my bank account. Told me to keep $250.00 for my weekly pay and take $50.00 and go to Walmart and buy something. I was to then get a prepaid money card and send them the rest back ($1,560.00). I knew it didn't sound right, so I called the ScamPulse.com first. They confirmed it was a scam.
