You get a letter along with a check for 3,490.00 stating you have been chosen to be a Mystery Shopper/Customer Service Evaluator in your area. You are to go to selected retail stores, restaurants and various establishments and make predetermined purchases and evaluating the consumer service level.
You are then to deposit the check to except the offer and fax back all receipts and exceptence form. And call your assigned agent (Cynthia Love 1-514-649-3846) back to let them know you deposited the check. Then when the funds are available you are to follow through with the assignments they give you.
The first assignment is to withdrawl $3,040.00 and go to a Western Union located in Walmart, JC Penny's, K-mart, Toysrus, Mcdonalds, Macy's, Sears, Ross, Hilton Inn and Target. Transfer $2,900 plus $140 fee = $3,040 to a receiving agent that they give you a list of and tell you wich one to send it to. Once you do that you are to fill out the evaluation form and fax with all receipts and the MTCN #. Then you are to spend $100.00 in one of the same stores. And fax all receipts.
What is left is $340.00 wich is supposed to be your first weeks pay. After this training assignment your salary is to increase to $500.00 per week for three months. And then will increase to $700.00. If you choose to stay with them.
The check is issued from CDX Gas LLC wich is a legitimate corporation. It actually had the correct routing number on it. I also called the bank Harris N.A.in Chicago, IL and gave them the routing number and that is how I found out that the account is real.
But the bank could not give me information like if the check had cleared or not, just that is was an actual business account. And said I needed the company's permission to see if it cleared.
So I googled CDX Gas LLC and spoke with the treasurer, and she comfirmed that it was a fraudulent check and was returned along with quit a few others.
So now I'm out $3,490.00 plus the fee of a returned check. I feel really stupid, I thought sense they were not asking for any personal information that how risky could it be? Well what I didn't take into account is that just because the funds are availabe, dosen't mean the check has cleared!
I just don't want this to happen to anyone else, I hope it helps somebody.
