This letter and enclosed check for $4695.00 referenced a recent job search with Consumer Survey Specialists I had made. I am 80 years old and not looking for work.
I was selected to be a "Mystery Shopper". I was to be trained to be a customer service evaluator with a starting salary of $400.00 per week and increased an additional $450.00 after six months. Sounds great, doesn't it?
The evaluations were to take place at stores we all know: Home Depot, Wal Mart, K-Mart, Sears and J C Penney. You will spend money while evaluating and you get to keep what you buy. The first evaluation was to be at any MONEYGRAM location.
Forms were attached to make market responses. I have heard of these scams before, so I was quick to check on-line to confirm my suspicions. To the elderly and gullable, these these situations are very tempting.
Incidently, envelope had a Canadian stamp and French cancelation words accross stamp with words like "Prevent Fraud" stamped on the stamp. Also no return address.
