I went to a lot of websites to join mystery shopping. one company had me go to a restaurant where you check out the time you stand online, and check everything. I had to pay for two meals and pay 35 dollars for the meals out of my own pocket. then I waited weeks to get my own money back. that was the one and only time I did it. another time another company wanted me to lie and look at an two bedroom apartment and I have a son and daughter who are adults living with me. and I will not lie for anyone. I think they are scams
This is an absolute scam. There are a number of ways that this particular one is run. One example is sending you the check, having you cash it and then transfer some money back to a different account. Eventually you will find that the original check is fake but the money you transferred is already gone so you re on the hook for the bad check and you ve lost your money. There are other variations but they run similar to this. You can read all about it here http://www.snopes.com/fraud/employment/s�� or do a search for mystery shopper scams and you ll find thousands or references. Save yourself the pain of losing money and throw the check in the trash.
your letter is a fraud. Companies that do mystery shops hire there own, (or go through an agency.) you have to do an interview and fill out lots of paperwork. Payment comes after you finish your shop.This is a Nigerian scam. the check is a toatal fake. After you cash it, they ll ask for some $ back. you ll send it, then your bank will tell you that the check is forged and you have to repay the bank ALL the money. They withdraw it out of your acount if you have it, and get a judgement againt you if you don t. these scams take advantage of the fact that a bank really takes 30 days to verify a check, but under the law, banks have to give your $ right away.
