Complaint / Review
Mystery Shoppe
Consumer Report

At the end of March David or Donald Anderson contacted me and told me that I was their newest Mystery Shopper and that my first assignment was to shop at Walmart and report on my experience as well as to report on how I was treated at Western Union when I wired funds. On March 30th I deposited the check you sent from Mrs. Yui, I believe, in the amount of $1,950.00. My bank had great concern and asked me if I knew this women and was hesitant to give me the cash that I requested. They informed me that I would need to wait to get the cash at least 48-72 hours until the checks cleared. On Tuesday, April 3rd, I called the bank and they said the check had cleared as far as they could tell and so I went Wednesday morning and withdrew $1,700 to send to Mr Peter Nagy in Virginia. The company hounded me every day in the mean time multiple times to hurry and wire the money, but I could not because the bank would not give it to me.

On the 4th of April the bank gave me the money, I wired it to Mr. Nagy and by the time I returned to my office the check from Mrs Yui, which had been sent to me had been rejected and I was $1,700.00 in the hole. I wired $1,520 to Mr. Nagy and paid $106.00 to wire the money, spent $50 on Walmart shopping, drove 10 miles to wire the funds and there was nothing in my bank to offset my expenses. Plus I was charged $10.00 for the returned check.

I contacted the company immediately by email and was assured that a replacement check was in the mail. Sure enough, the next day a replacement check of $2,650 showed up. Which I didn't and still don't understand that amount, except they mentioned there was a bonus because of my troubles.in addition, there was a separate check for $1,400.00 for my second mystery shopper assignment. I was to shop again at Walmart and check out Western Union again. I rushed to the bank on the 6th of April to deposit the two checks, sure that there had just been some oversight and that the company was really going to make things right. They immediately hounded me to complete the second assignment. Naturally, my bank would not cash the checks and told me I could not have the cash until these checks cleared. Again I was told it would take one or two days for them to clear.

What a surprise that on the 11th of April the second two checks both were rejected and I was billed an additional $10.00 for each check for the returned checks. At this point my bank froze all my assets and began an investigation into the mystery shopper program.
I continually contacted the company asking for them towire me the $1,624 dollars that I had sent with the wiring cost included. I offered to take no commission, absorb the cost of fuel and the purchases at Walmart. They said they would do that if I would first wired them $250.00 for my commissions, which of course I have never received because every check that they have sent has bounced.

The last few weeks they finally responded and were very sorry for the inconvenience they had caused me and promised me that if I wired Peter Nagy $200 dollars for a fund transfer fee that I would be wired $1,900 in 10 minutes. I complied but before I did they changed the address to Nigeria to an attorney William Moye. After I sent the message I was immediately informed that it would take $200 more for inter country expenses, to which I felt so desperate to get my $2,000 back I complied. The next day of course they wanted $300 more to which I refused. They have sent me hundreds of pressure emails and text messages threatening FBI involvement for keeping their money and all that I needed to do to get my money back was to sent that last $300.
The email address they have used in most all of my dealings was mysteryshopper. [email protected]
The phone number from which I have received all the texts is 713-965-6725, and I even received phone calls from West Africa from William Moye but the number comes up restricted. I have kept every text and email for evidence if that is needed.

Here is a sample of the threatening emails they sent me.

Greetings to you,

I don't know what you are up to, with your sudden silence over the
payment you receive from my our mystery shopper company, I mailed you
telling you about the payment and instructions on how to complete the
payment, but you never reply back. If you know that you are not ready
to work you should have not given down your details to us. I am sure
you are aware of the fact that you can never abscond with company
funds and if your intention is to make away with my fund, you will
face the penalty and will be sue to court. So I will urge you to get
back to me with ASSIGNMENT REPORTS within 24 hours if only you don't
want to face the penalty. Your response is needed urgently concerning
this payment and I need you to get back to me ASAP.

I will await your urgent response with ASSIGNMENT REPORTS within
24hours or else your details will be forward to the FBI and I can bet
it with you that you can never make away with company funds. Have a
nice day and do expect the FBI visitation if you fail to comply with
my instructions.

Regards.
Payments instructor officer
