Survey Scam

I experienced the same from a survey group today and thanks to this forum, I didn't do any thing. Scamers seems to be growing rapidly.

OMGGGG I wish I would have found this site sooner. I applied for a Secret Shopper job for extra income. About a week after I applied I got an envelope in the mail from Fedex with a cashiers check and instructions to go the the post office and purchase 2 money orders in the amount of $1000.00 each. I should have known better. Unfortunately I did deposit the Cashier's check but advised my bank to hold until funds cleared. If they attempt to get anything out of my account they are gonna be very disappointed because it is currently overdrawn. I will have the account number changed as well. I should have done more research into this and should have known this was too good to be true

I received a text on my phone stating Walmart is looking for Mystery Shoppers. I replied and received a priority USPS envelope with a check for me and a check for my Husband. Each Cashier's Check from TUCSON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION was for the amount of $2,350.00. Instructions came stating the checks were to be deposited or cashed at our bank. Then, deduct upfront pay of $350.00 and take the remaining $1,200.00 from each check to Walmart and purchase 3 Walmart gift cards at $400.00 each. Then, go to a second Walmart store and purchase 2 gift cards at $400.00 each. Paul Brown is the name of the Task Manager on the instruction sheet. A website address of www.mallsurvey.org was also listed on the instruction sheet. I knew this was a scam when I attempted to go to the website and it was nothing of this nature. Upon searching Professional Survey and Research Group, I was led to the website, scampulse.com. Thank goodness we didn't do anything with this (these) scammer(s)!

We will be reporting this matter to the proper authorities.

I received pretty much the same letter the same way as everyone has listed. A legit company isn’t going to send out a check for this amount of money to someone they have never spoke with! I would have went with it until I read about sending the codes for the gift cards!

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

Ad was place on web for a secret shopper for Wal-Mart. Filled out form, and with in a few days received a priority mail envelope in the mail and in it was a check for $2350.00 and instruction on what to do. I was to cash the check and then go to 2 Wal Marts stores. 1st one was to purchase 3-$400.00=$1,200.00 dollars Wal Mart gift cards and the next store purchase 2-$400.00=8800.00 total of $2000.00 and I was to keep the $350.00 for myself. I slept on this idea and told myself to check this out on line in the morning to see if it was fraud, and sure enough it was. I did not cash the check and thank God. I want to thank the people who share their experience with what happen to them so other can not be caught up in this SCAM.

I replied to a "work from home" ad and a out 2 months later I received a priority mailer containing a check in the amount of $2,890.00 with instructions to purchase gift cards at Walmart, and a cashier's check for the American Cancer Society. After doing this and taking pictures, they would contact me and let me know where to send the cards and cashiers check. I was to keep $350.00 as my pay for reporting my experience at the bank and walmart. Secret shopper, but they seemed more interested in the cards etc than the experienc. So I contacted ScamPulse.com and was told to report it as a scam.

I just received a priority mail with a cashier's check $2,890.00 and a letter with instructions to purchase WAL-MART GIFT Cards. Also, to tell me to deduct $350.00 as my salary.

A question I have is, has anyone contacted the police in regards to their experience with this?

I was contacted via text for employment to prepare the letters, envelopes and checks for someone. I didn't know who the company was but became quite suspicious once I received the downloads to print.

The person even paid in advance for the blank check paper and MICR ink which is what's used for check printing.

I lied and told them I completed their initial test which was 24 envelopes. He wants me to do upwards of 1,000 per week!

Yeah, not happening. I'm taking everything I have to the police if not the FBI on Monday now that I see from this forum it is running nationwide.

Dude even threatened me when I questioned him about the legitimacy of this. Even the return address for the envelopes he sent me is bogus. I Googled it! There is only one Redondo Beach and it's in CA, not GA!

I personally think there's an extra hot plate in hell for scammers. I seriously loathe them!

I received this supposed cashiers check in the amount of $2930 written out to myself with a letter with instructions on what to do with the remainder of the money after I subtracted $350 for myself seemed like a scam right off the bat so I went online to double check my suspicion which was indeed accurate.

I just received a check for $2,350.00 drawn on a Level One Bank. My instructions were to deposit the check in to my bank account and keep $350.00 and spend the rest on Walmart Gift Cards. First I went to search engine, DuckDuckGo, and then looked up Level One Bank which appears to be a bank in Michigan. Next I looked up PostedJobs Inc. which led me to this ScamPulse.com FRAUD reviews.The message says that I am supposed to be discreet in getting the Walmart gift cards and evaluate the store 1.) Did I undergo any challenges locating the Wal-Mart store? 2.) How was the outlook of the Wal-Mart Store? 3.) How was the Customer Service professionalism at the store? Did they try to discourage you from buying? 4.) How fast and efficient was the process of purchasing the Wal-Mart gift cards? 7.) Pictures of the Wal-Mart gift cards. It was after this verification that I decided that I should not follow through with this endeavor and should file a report with the ScamPulse.com and take this information down to the Iowa City Police Department to give them some form of heads up as to information that is being requested via texts and through the mail (USPS).

I got a check and directions for buying gift cards. I was told spend 2000 on gift cards at two locations the first I should buy 3 $400 cards the next location I should buy 2 400$ cards. I keep 350 report on what the store service is and send pics of the gift cards. Now I have not done this ibhave this check and this paper and I'm about to call the bank the check is from to see if it's legit I will turn this in wherever I can to help prevent anyone from falling for this scam. These are bad time but this ruins good people.

Mine is the exact same letter but from Paul Brown.. I hate scammers. If my mom would have gotten this, she would have done it and been out of this money. I got two letters and checks the same day.

I received a flat rate envelope with a single page with instructions on it and how to report. Honestly I don't remember talking to anyone about doing this but I have been online looking for a way to generate some extra cash. I'm on social security disability and it just isn't enough. I know that working online from home exist but trying to find something legitimate has been exhausting and I'm loosing hope. These scams really pissing me off targeting good honest people. It's hard to tell if something is legit or not . I basically went on a gut feeling and just saw the mailing address was from CA and the cashier's check originated from VA on October 21 2020.
But seriously how are we supposed to know besides a gut feeling?

I received a priority mail envelope with a cashiers check for $2,930 and a single piece of paper with instructions to buy gift cards and send them pictures of them with the pin exposed. Thank God I looked into before doing anything because the ScamPulse.com site showed me it’s been done to other people. Don’t trust things for face value, do research! Thank you for allowing me to share this and hopefully help others being scammed!

Received via priority mail first assignment and cashiers check to deposit of 3,420 dollars. What I first found odd was it warns it may take 48 hours for the bank to clear the check but the 1st assignment is to be completed in 48 hours. I never tried to deposit the check.

I reached out through email with some questions. My main question was 'what do i do with the gift cards after buying them and sending my report plus images of the cards after I scratch off the pins#. I was told to hang onto the cards and that I will have to use the cards in my second assignment. Basically I replied that if he couldn't tell me what I was to do with the cards in my second assignment then I wasnt going to conduct the first assignment. I received another reply of him saying he needed to know if he should put a stop on the check if I wasnt going to complete the 1st assignment.

Ide LOVE to hear from someone that has tried to complete the first assignment and what happened after ...

The name presented in my letter and in the email is 'David McClaire, Hiring Manager'

The senders address on the priority mail package is 'Alpha Reliable INC. 5430 Split Pine CT. Orlando FL 32819-7112

The bank on the cashiers check is 'Federal Credit Union' and above that it says 'SCHOOLS FIRST'

I just received the same one but this one was for $2950 and keep $400 and the rest was to buy Sephora gift cards and $50 for masks and gloves during Covid19. It also came fedex which made me think in the beginning it may be real . But soon after knew it had to be a scam
