I came across something on Facebook or email, I can't remember and signed up for a Secret Shopper job. I got stuff in the mail and was told I had been hired and my supervisor was named Michael ***. I was also given an "Official Temporary Contract" that had a typo right at the beginning, which had me suspicious. They sent me a check for $2450 that I was supposed to deposit into my bank, go to Walmart and buy several $200 gift cards. I would be paid $450 for doing this. Through the entire thing, I am supposed to text people about it and let them know at each step of the way. I never followed through with it.

After responding to a secret shopper ad on Facebook a check for $1950 was delivered by mail. Included were instructions to deposit the check, buy several gift cards at Walmart, scratch off the back and provide the numbers to the sender. I was to keep a portion of the check as my commission. I found it very odd that the sender also asked for my checking account routing number. I did not do as instructed but did call ScamPulse.com to discuss further.

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,
