This company is taking the steps of reputable secret shopper programs and putting their own twist on it to work their scam.
I received a letter along with a check, that was drawn on an out of state bank account, made payable to me. The check was for $2500 and I had one week to complete the tasks of an assignment. My tasks were to complete an evaluation on the bank where I deposited the check, spend $100 at Walmart, and use the Money Gram system at a location of my choice. They included the evaluation forms with the letter and you had to complete a form after each task and the company stayed in contact with you after each task.
The scam took place when I deposited the check. The check is not any good and by the time I discovered this and notified my bank, I had already withdrawn $2200 to complete the last task - using the Money Gram system. I sent the money to a person in Canada that poses as the boss of the person who is my "customer service evaluator".
Needless to say I paid dearly for this lesson. I currently owe my bank $2500. This includes all my bounced checks and NSF fees.
