I applied online to be a mystery shopper. I received a USPS with a money order for $985 with a letter instructing me to complete the money order by entering information in the from and to fields and depositing in my bank then send the funds via Western Union to the Phillipines minus my 10%. This process raised my suspisions since I had received a FEDEX earlier in the week with 2 money orders instructing me to make a $20 purchase at Wal-Mart, taking out my fee and sending the balance to a location in the Phillipines. At this point I started to suspect that these were not mystery shopping opportunities but more likely money laundering of some type. I plan to return both.
