Mystery Shopper Position United Kingdom? Mystery Shopper SCAM strikes again but now in the United Kingdom via Facebook advertising?

If somethings to good to be true it usually is!!!

I replied to an advert on facebook advertising for Mystery Shoppers, as it was something I had always been intrested in I replied.

In response to my e-mail that I had sent, I was offerred the following job offer.

Shopper's Guide wants you to run surveys on a few prominent western union locations in your area (the locations are within 10 miles
from your zip code, you will be filled with the exact details).
The Western Union location was reported for evaluation for the following reasons:
1) Customers have reported their money missing.
2) Slow services.
3) Unbalanced transfer charges.
4) Rudeness to customers.
5) Late opening time and Closing before time.
Your Evaluation at the first western union location would be:
1) To make a transfer of funds from this western union location to another mystery shopper (we will provide you with the needed
funds; you will never use your own money).
2) You will have to record the time you spend sending the transfer.
3) You will also provide the name of the cashier that attended to you.
4) Make a detailed report about your personal impressions as an average customer.
To complete the surveys we will send you the money to cover your $100 commission and the money you need to use at the western
union location.
Upon receiving the funds, the exact instructions of the survey will be forwarded to you and the report is to be ready same day you receive the funds.
You will have to keep a comprehensive report on every activity you carry out and send it by fax to our office.
If you are interested in becoming a mystery shopper confirm that you are ready by replying to this message with "I AGREE".

Thank you,

When I saw the $ sign and not sign alarm bells started to ring!!! So I googled the company and found that Michael McDowell had changed his name from Michael Friedman, and this was an ongoing scam in the US.

It concerns me that this guy appears to be venturing globally!

Is anyone safe?
