I received a weird text today saying that I submitted my information via their sms marketing to act or work for Walgreens secret stores evaluator.

then I received a USPS envelope from Sunshine bottling inc in Florida with a letter and a check for $1750.

I got a text afterwards from someone named Gino Salmina "the hiring manager for the mystery shopper in my area) but he is calling from a california phone number. The check is from MPI, Inc in Poughkeepsie NY The bank is NBT Bank in NY also. This all looked weird. I looked it up and see other people have reported instances like this. The letter is telling me to deposit the check into my acct and purchase American express gift cards and send them a picture of the front and back of the cards and send them to [email protected]

this all sound crazy and makes no sense, I didn't see how I was surveying anything.. I asked questions. and did my research . But for these people to be using the Post Office which is a government agency, they are rather bold.

I saw an ad about a job title Secret Shoppers advertising in Instagram and Facebook and I applies for the job. Next thing I know was I'm getting a postal package sent to me to my home address saying that I need to follow the instructions on the job. I have a copy of the instruction. Also included was a Cashier's Check made out to me on behalf of IHMVCU the location is at 2500 River Drive Moline IL 61265. The scammer texted me whether I had received the postal package via mail. So I told him I did then he asked me to go to Winn Dixie on Race Track Rd Westchase FL to get a $500 Apple Gift Card and take a picture and text it to him with the card activated. The next store I went to is Publix in Westchase FL with another $500 Apple Gift Card and doing the same thing as described above. Finally I was instructed by this scammer named John said to go to the next store if I want to get a bonus of $300. So I went to Walgreens in the same area and bought another $500 Apple Gift Card. After I was done with the job, I tried to contact the scammer back and the phone was not in service. Please help me to resolved this problems because I had contacted Apple Gift Cards support and they told me they will try to get my money back. By the way, I used my credit cards to make the purchases at the store above. Thanks for your support and understanding. You can reach out to me at my email: [email protected] or contact me at my cellphone at 734-796-6158. I've also reported to the FTC about this matter.

Regards,

Joseph Ho

I was interested in a secret shopper job. They sent me an instruction paper also, a check for 2,450.00. Which I haven't cashed. And will not. It has been shredded.
