I was originally introduced about mystery shopping on LinkedIn which is a very recognizable and reputable website for professionals. I had no suspicion about the legitimacy of mystery shopping activities since it was advertise on LinkedIn. I should have done a more thorough research in advance however, hindsight is always 20-20 and I've learned a very valuable lesson.
Someone by the name of Tracy Korotky (cell phone number 218-248-7519 from Virginia, Minnesota location) from SMRI has been texting me since 11/27/2018 at 13:59 about registration, first assignment and package (see attachments). Tracy Korotky appears to be a false identity.
The logo as shown is from http://www.servicemeasure.co website (indicated on the bottom of the SMRI's letterhead) which matches 90% to the logo that is on top of SMRI's letterhead (see attachment) with the sm part of the original logo cut off.
The alias Kelvin Luis, Ph.D - Survey Evaluation Co-Ordinator as appeared on the bottom left hand of SMRI's letterhead (see attachment) also appears to be another false identity.
The check in the amount of $2,450 and the originator is Westmoreland Builders LLC which is a legitimate commercial/retail construction company HQ in Tulsa, OK. This is another evidence of false representation and paperwork irregularity which doesn't match the company SMRI as represented.
SMRI can't be found as a registered member of the MSPA (Mystery Shop Providers Association) in addition it is not on the top 100 certified mystery shopping companies.
The USPS tracking number 9405 5102 0082 9901 6778 92 shown the origination point below
The originator address shown Expert LLC which is a false identity and the address 8522 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90048 doesn't list Expert LLC as one of the business listing at this address location.
Everything about Service Measures Research Inc (SMRI) represents a scam.
I would greatly appreciate if you can keep me well informed of your investigation of SMRI.
Thank you for your assistance.

Part-time job as a Brand Assessor for Service Measure Research Group. They capture your basic information from LinkedIn email address, address, and telephone number. First, you receive an email later followed by a text message a couple of days later from “John Barnes.” The text is advising you to make sure you are checking your email for the status of being selected. In the meantime, I received two separate emails asking the following questions:
Do you have any of the following stores around you? Walmart, Marshalls, Sams Club, CVS Best Buy Walgreens
Do you have an Apple Store close to you?
