Miscellaneous

I am crushed with disappointment. I received a check for $1970 to be a mystery shopper with instructions for 2 assignments. #1 to spend $100 at Walmart, Kmart, Home Depot, Sears, JC Penny and Best Buy, and record my experience. And assignment 2 to wire via Western Union $1370 and $100 for the service fee. I was told to keep $400 for "probationary training" pay. The letter also said after the 3 month probationary period, they would consider hiring me as permanent mystery shopper at a higher weekly rate of $480. I deposited the check to my Wells Fargo account and took out $100 and completed the first assignment. Wells Fargo did place a 7 day hold on the check. I found out today 9/28 that the check is NO GOOD and that my bank charged me $12.00 service fee. I called the number 315-403-8756 and man said they was going to call me back. No one is calling me back. F r a u d. Hard lesson learned and Im out of $112.00. They also said the "program was designed to help people who are on unemployment." SO CRUEL!!
