I was been unemployment about 1 ½ year, can’t get any job in my town, and I decided to sign up to work at home job to get some income for the food. I signed up on several sites, and of course, they had links to other sites, so I didn't really keep track of or remember who I signed up with. About a couple week later, I recieved a check in the mail from Market Research, Inc of $2500! All I had to do was do two mystery shop jobs for them using the funds from the check
The letter stated that I had 48 hours to complete the shop, once the funds were available. Of course, I was anxious and excited because I was getting paid $300, plus they wanted me to spend $250 for shop at Best Buy, K-Mart or Walmart, and the products for me to keep, but to use the receipt for my Survey as a Customer Service Evaluator, and keep my purchases as additional compensation. The other part of the job was to send a Western Union transfer for $1800. I deposited the check of $2500.00 into my account, and kept out the money for the Western Union Transfer fee. I wanted to get started right away to prove my honor and good respond.
I was very careful, so I had called a coordinator and talk to a lady name Nicole Wilson to make sure it real check, and to get the name and location of the individual receiving the money. They were very kind and helpful. I thought they must be for real! I was given the name of David Colmbs, London United Kingdom. I went to the Western Union at my local grocery store and dutifully sent $1800.00 to David Colmbs. I paid great attention to all the details including the time I had to wait, the clutter on the counter, etc. I sat down right there in the store and filled out the report. Then I went shopping at Best Buy. I was very careful to spend as close to $250 as possilbe. I called and gave them the wire transfer number and was asked to scan and email all of the receipts. I did everything on the same day.
Three days later, I received a notice from my bank that I was overdrawn. The check for $2500 had been returned. I feel sad! I am normally very careful and thorough, but this time my mind was blinded. Don't let this happen to you. I am out of food on table, thanks to these scammers!
