Received a letter and a check for $1,750. Letter was from Walmart saying I was pre-approved to be a secret shopper. Check ready to deposit and available in 24 hrs. The letter said that once funds were deposited I should go to Walmart and evaluate the store. $300 would be compensation for me. They wanted me to deposit the money then do a Walmart to Walmart money gram transfer of $1,380. $690 to one person and $690 to another person. They said the reason for money transfer is to "curtail the lapses of the money lap transfer". Two names were given: James Lockyer and Terri Seaver. They gave instructions and told me to send pictures of the store to. Not supposed to let anyone know what I was doing and confirm that check was received and deposited. The letter was signed by Steve Kellepouris (Task Manager). I reported this scam to the Canyon Walmart and the BBB.

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

I am not absolutely positive the postal money order I received in the mail is fake but I’m 99.99% sure if I followed through with the instructions I was given, I would be scammed. I answered a text message for doing surveys and secret shopping at local retailers. I began receiving emails and then a money order. I replied I am no longer interested but I kept the money order as evidence for authorities. I would like someone to look into this.

I received an email about a position with Secret Shopper. I received a text a few days later and I was told to expect a packet with a tracking # included in the message. I received the packet that included instructions and a check. It was specific instructions to send using Walmart to Walmart and Money Gram. I was to send to 2 different individuals in the amounts of $900 & $800 . The guy followed up with a text asking did I receive the packet. Then a few days later he asked if I had cashed the check. He then sent a second text message asking when would I be sending the money.

Got a $1,950 check by 2 day mail. Instructions said to go to walmart.

And send $750 to Phillip Hughes in Conroe Texas by way of Walmart-2-Walmart transfer. Also $750.00 to a Richard Walden by Money gram. I recognized it as a scam because I have been scammed before. For one thing they want you to communicate with them by text or email not on the phone. They want you to deposit a check and send a large part of the cash to somebody as part of the scam.

It states on the site that they are BBB accredited but I am not sure i can trust this because it is asking me to buy $100 worth of stuff in Walmart then send money western union so they can identify what is happening with stolen money oversees. Which makes me think it is a scam. It states they will send me a check that is for $1950 that will be readily available to deposit in my bank.

I went to CVS and to Walmart to get the Money Orders. I sent 2 money orders, one for $815 to Aldus Bagley in TX, and $825 to Stanley Nona in TX. I did it because it's what they wanted me to do. I got a call the next day from the bank advising me the check wasn't good. I kept all of the material
