I recieved an email from him Stating he is from Globe Holdings. They stated that they were a mystery shopper company and they were looking for mystery shoppers. They had me fill out an application, which i submitted online. They then came back to me a week or so later with another email telling me my first assignment. That first assignment was to be a mystery shopper at Walmart. They told me to cash the check or instant deposit. (I found this fishy as i have never met this person and decided to do an online deposit through my bank and make them aware of the situation first... Thank God). I was to go to Wal-Mart and purchase up to $50.00 worth of stuff on them, take $20.00 for traveling compensation and keep $200.00 in addition to the $70.00 already allotted as my salary for doing this mystery shop for them. I was to reply back to them in a full report of what i saw at Wal-Mart, which one i went to, the name of the attendant, how good they were at their job, if anything needed to be worked on, the quality and efficiency of service as well as the "smartness" of the attendants. (Another reason, i wasn't fixing to cash it like they said... Grammar was terrible. It really did sound legite with all the details they wanted, but i was leary. My boss actually thought it was legit as well and was hoping we stumbled on a way to make some extra money. AS i have fraud protection on my accnt, i thought... Worth a shot if it is legitimate. If not, then hopefully i can help bring this person to justice by helping the authorities catch them before some poor individual is stolen from. Anyways, The check was actually delivered over a week ago and i didn't get it until yesterday, May 17.in the meantime, Jeffrey Morgan (If that is his real name) kept calling me and texting me from 323-638-4416. He would leave voicemails and text messages as well as emails trying to get a hold of me and have me "complete the assignment". Well, as it turns out, Fraud Services from my bank called me this morning and told me it was a fradulent check. They wanted to make sure i didn't spend money i wasn't going to and didn't cash any part of the check or send money off to wherever i was told to send it. I was told to send it to the information i listed above via Western Union Money Transfer and email him back promptly with the information. I told them what had happened and was honest that i wasn't sure if it was fraud or not, but i wasn't fixing to cash a check i wasn't sure if was real or not. They backed it out and due to my fraud protection, i was covered; however, someone else may not be so lucky. I hope you find him/her.
