Once again these mystery shopping scams are appearing and searching for victims looking for part-time jobs. I received a letter on June 12th from a Global Marketing Services Inc. This letter stated that they were a secret customer employment firm that specializes in assisting companies on how to improve customer services to their clientele. They stated they utilizes a method known as MYSTERY SHOPPING, to achieve this goal.
They sent me a check for $7,200.00 to use to assist me with my assignment and I was to call the office immediately to activate the check. I called the company and was told my check was activated and I could place the check in my bank account and the bank would put a HOLD on it for 7 days since it was an out-of-town check. When I took the check to my bank, they told me the check was bogus and it was good thing that I had the good sense to ask questions. I am glad I found out before really would have been scamed.
Please be careful of these mystery shopping scams. When someone sends you a large check in the mail and you have go through alot of red tape to cash it. YOU KNOW IT IS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!
I have read many other consumer complaintss on mystery shopping scams. I am so glad that I did. It saved me from a lot of headache, heartache, and grief.
