Total money lost $4,000
Type of a scam Counterfeit Product

I was introduced by a friend to this business called Performa Insight. I did not do a careful research of this business because I was vulnerable. I work but as a single mom always try to find something to do to generate an extra dollar. I applied to the company and they offered me employment to do evaluations of chain stores etc. I thought it was interesting, less time on my feet etc. I fell for it. I was sent ID number etc. I was later sent my first assignment which was so well thought of and presented so I thought I would go for it. I was sent a check to deposit then withdraw the money to assist with my first assignment which was to evaluate customer service at Walmart to prove how there walmart2walmart service efficiently done, i.e identify if the appropriate questions were asked etc by customer service . It sounded real. I did the evaluation then sent in report. I was sent another assignment where I had to deposit another check and after I got a part of that money I should use the money in minutes which is moneygram and then I was to compare both services and then make rcommendations. I completed two other evaluations and submitted report I picked up a red flag because I did not withdraw the total of last check the scammer texted me to say he/she wished I had gotten more money to complete transaction. I texted him/her that I did not want to continue with all this money. I called my bank and informed them about the high possibility of being scammed. The bank later notified me my account was in an overdraft of $4000.06 overdraft.I thought as much so all I could do was pray for them. I am a smart person. I cant believe I experienced this. Now I have all this money to pay back. I wish I can get help to find these scammer.The name on the document sent to me is James Cooper. The person who is doing this is a real professional thief THAT NEEDS TO STOPPED.Please help me stop this culprit.Please not that the overdraft is going to be my bill if I dont find this person or persons. Thanks

I was emailed a job description regarding the opportunity to become a secret shopper earning between $*** per assignment. I applied for the position and was approved. Weeks later I received a text message informing me of my first assignment that was being mailed to me via USPS with a tracking number. The assignment arrived as expected with a check in the amount of $***. I was given a process which included text messaging the sender "assignment received", depositing the check, told not to let anyone know the purpose of the check (including my bank), only wait 12-24 hours for the funds to become available, notify the sender via text "sum's available", then the real assignment would be sent to me again via text.

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

Came across mystery shopper opportunity while looking at various work-at-home opportunities. Filled in my informaiton to apply to become a mystery shopper. A short time later an envelope came with a welcome letter from Performa Insight inviting me to carry out my first customer service evaluation along with a cashier's check from Twin Star Credit Union for $xxxx.xx. The letter gave steps to starting assignment. The routing number on the check was 323900623 and was not a valid routing number. I called the number given at the bottom of the letter which was (213) 929-8051 and only got voice mail each time I called. I never received a call back. Watch for the names Lennie Hatton and James Cooper.

Applied as a secret shopper. They sent me a false Cashiers check asking me to deposit into my bank account. I went to the bank the check was drawn on and they confirmed it was not one of their checks.

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

A Job opportunity was presented to me via email from a Carolyn Swafford to be a Mystery Shopper. I applied and a few weeks later (5/02/18) was informed that I was accepted along with a welcome letter. Later a second email came informing me of the USPS ( along with tracking #) that I would be getting to start my assignment. Next day the priority mail envelope was received and to my shock there was a letter ( it’s attached below with a Cashiers Check for $***. After reading the letter a red flag went up based on the words chosen to write the letter( not American). I investigated and found the return address is a Coffee Bean Cafe in CA.I called them and I was the 3 person to report that the Scammers were using there address ( but the PM was sent from a Virginia Beach zip code). I then called BMO Harris Bank and they also got calls. He did check the CC number and no such check exists. Watch for these names;

Carolyn Swafford, Carmina Stubblefield, James Cooper. They various emails and company names.

Email offer 4/17/18 from "Carolyn Swafford" to become a "secret shopper". 5/2/18 got a priority mail envelope with return address Lennie Hatton 11698 San Vicente Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90049. Address search shows that to be a "Coffee bean and Tea Leaf" store. The "mailed from" zip code was 23451 which is Virginia Beach, VA.

Single page letter and a cashier's check dated 5/2/18 for $*** were the only things in the envelope. Instructions in the letter are notable for grammatical errors and syntax errors that strongly show less than full mastery of English. Check remitter was Lennie Hatton. Check was from Twin Star credit union with bank routing number 323900623. There is a Twin Star credit union in Oregon and Washington states but no branches that I could find in California." Routing number on check is not correct for Twin Star. Signature on check is illegible.

Instructions in the letter said to send a text message to 213-929-8051 using the term "assignment received" along with your full names (sic) and shopper identification number. Of interest there was no number ever given identified as a shopper ID number.

Instructed to deposit the check and send a text message to 213-929-8051 using the term "check deposited" along with your full names and shopper ID number. Instructed to document various information at the bank including "smartness of the attendant". There was no definition of "smartness" but it did particularly caution not to show this letter to the bank/teller/cashier or to any bank staff.

Then advised to check available bank balance after 12-24 hours. When fundings are posted to the account, send a text message to (same number as above) using the term "funds available". At that time the specific shopping assignment would be given.

It listed the assigned evaluation supervisor as "James Cooper" and again gave the above listed phone # to text or call if there were any questions.

I did not deposit the check or respond to the above listed phone number. I will keep the information and am very willing to turn it over to law enforcement for further investigation.
