. I received a letter via United States mail priority 2 day mail addressed in my name with a letter from the Brandt group and a check for $2,450 saying they're going to pay me $200 to go spend this money at Walmart and as soon as I deposited the check into my bank account to send them a text and then when the funds were available to send them another text and that they would send me information on what I was supposed to do at Walmart. The check does not look real if you pay attention to it

My mother and I saw a job offer on social media for a Secret Shopper for Walmart. We live in a small town with only a Walmart and Safeway. I signed up on the website linked that looked unlike other Walmart websites that I have been on. Red flag. I was desperate for money so I complete the simple application which was just my name and address and phone. I then got a message from a random number asking if I “received my package with my payment and assignment letter” . Red flag. Payment before I even started? Luckily, my address I provided doesn’t receive mail since it is a business. I never got the letter and the check by the number continues to send me the same message, “applicant, pleas report on the status or your assignment”. The number never replied to my messages to them. I am a lucky one who did not get the letter and check intended for me and I didn’t deposit the fake check that goes along with this scam,

I received an email through my work email from Career Builder saying there were secret shopper opportunities available in my area. I filled out a survey and they said I qualified to be a secret shopper. Soon, I received an envelope via FedEx with my first secret shopper job in it. It had an instruction sheet and a check for $998 in the envelope. The job was to cash the check, then go to Walmart and fill out a report on the Walmart store itself, spend $50 on groceries and review the individual checking me out, then go to MoneyGram in Walmart and send a certain individual $650 and then the rest of the cash is the payment for the secret shopping. I followed the instructions and sent in reports. Soon afterward, I decided to research the company online and discovered it was a scam. A few days later, the check came back as fraudulent.

Letter came from Sir Thomas Bruce (Payment Officer).
