Mystery Shoppe
Consumer Report

I received a letter saying congratulations based on the information i provided i was now a mystery shopper. I received a check from citi bank in the amount 1375.00. I had a mission to complete it was to use these funds in steps precisely. I was to spend 50 dollars @ walmart, 55$@ home depot, keep 210.00 for myself for the assignment and give 1060.00 to a person in london by western union and apply the fees that i use to send the info in it as well. Before i can spend such funds it had to be deposited in my checking account first tht would take about 24 hours to be accepted. I contacted the agency and the gentleman on the phone asked if i would like to join, asked the number of the check in the right hand top corner. I asked questions, it seemed legit because he said if i had any questions or problems to feel free to contact him anytime but if i wanted to start work immediately because so many businesses was in need of mystery shoppers services. I was skeptic putting any funds in my checking account so i went to a bank and asked a manager about the check i received and wanted to know if this was indeed a legitimate check and if so i would open an account with it. The manager at the bank stated that there has been numerous scams from mystery shoppers and the customer wound up with having to repay all funds given and a block of not opening another account at any other banks with their name. The manager contacted citi financial and given them the check number to see if it was indeed fraudulent, it was. I was saved by the bell of checking before i would be in a great debt. The manager appreciated me coming to her first because others did not and now reaping what they sowed. For other people out there that want to mystery shop if a mystery shopping company wants you as an employee they would send you funds with an exact amount for the particular store you are to shop in, and a separate check for yourself directly not a huge check that had you send off most of the funds to another. Why would they give you a good amount of money and then keep little for yourself, you would've been better off cashing the check and keeping it for yourself then if you get sued at least you know where the money went to.
