On June 22 I received two seperate letters 'Congradulating' me for being accepted as a representative for their company as a 'Mystery Shopper' with 2 bogus checks from two different banks with two different signatures from 'thejobplanet.com' posing as 'SecretShopper' agents.
One for $3,975.00-"Members First Credit Union" signed by Misheal E. McLoud and one for $3,975.62-"National City Bank" signed by Tom Jasper (Remitter: Nelson Peters). Both letters were signed by Stephen Greene Rep ID# CND-7920-55.
Both letters even had two seperate contact phone numbers: 888-284-7760 and 416-877-8313.
Both with the EXACT same instructions:
Total allocated: $3,975.00
Salary per assignment: $200.00
Wal*Mart Purchase: $40.00
Service Fee/Money Gram: /-$75.00
MoneyGram trans/transfer: $3,660.00
I contacted both numbers and informed the representative that answered: Daniel employee ID: T69, that these funds would not be remitted until they cleared my bank. He informed me that would be fine. Just deposit the check and find out how long it would take for them to process the check and call him back with the timeframe.
Needless to say I found this website with the same letters posted and did not deposit these checks.
Job site in Minnesota, banks in two different states and post-marked from Canada.
There is a LEGITIMITE website: http://www.secretshopper.com / BUT they DO NOT send checks with their assignments and are NOT affiliated with these letters.
Thanks to Kimberly in Augusta for posting this bogus information I received.
She posted a great link: http://www.secretshopper.com/info/shoppers/Montrose. Pdf for more info.
Be aware-they are still sending out these letters.
