Acceptance Letter (Secret Shopper)

I too recieved a letter with an enclosed check (Citibank).  Stamped from Canada.  The letter stated that i was selected as a mystery shopper.  The check was in the amount of $1987.80.  The letter give me a full run down on how i was to disburse it.  My salary $350.00.  Survey fund $1580.00, to be transferred through Western Union to reciever Donofrio Herrera location London, England. Fund needed for shopping $57.80, to be spent at any retailer (walmart, costco, best buy, etc...)  When finish with all the tasks fax all reciepts to (888)-999-6286. The note at the bottom of the letter said to call our accounts manager to activate enclosed payroll check before depositing into your bank account.  Sincerely, Amada Young Director of Operations. Account Manager Andrew Gilbert (289) 892-2648 ext. 5561.  I was curious & called this number.  A foreigner answered.  (Not of American speaking accent)  His first response was "Hello" i asked for Mr. Gilbert, he HUNG up!  I called back, he answered more professional & wanted my JOB ID #.  I gave him the number on my letter, again the line went dead.  I called a third time & started asking about this being legitimate or not & he replied, "Yes it is legit & to call him back when i was ready to do the job, once again he hung up on me.  I waited 10 minutes & called again no answer, after about 10 rings it went to a busy signal.  I destroyed the check & threw the letter away.  I knew from the very beginning that it was a SCAM!  I was curious to see what they said when i called & im glad i did.  I am now able to share this story with everyone else & hope someone will be detered from even considering this as a REAL JOB!  BEWARE OF SCAMS, theres a new one born every minute....

I received a letter to be a secret shopper and deposit some funds into western union and the rest use at a store of your choice...been in contact with a male with a deep accent he said to deposit the check and do the first assignment and then do the second assignment. Had problems cashing the check they said it would not go through so I asked them to try and do it anyway. So they did! The check was put on hold for two weeks and later cancelled and was told to me later that it was a counterfeit. Now my bank accounts are being closed and I have to bank elsewhere. Called Andrew Gilbert again and he said he would check with his bank and hung up. I definitely now think it is a scam and will not be putting my time and effort into any type of thing in this nature. I showed the bank the letter just to clear my name.

Got a letter with a check.

I rec'd the same letter today  my check was for $1998.70.  Have not signed up for anything a  have been getting calls and texts left an right sayig ive signed up for different things.  Wish i knew how to stop it and who was responsible for it.  The outside of my envelope is stamped Support mental health 110916 ollowed my spanish words  the stamp itself says canada

I got a letter today from these same people.  and got a few contact info from them,  If i put the ckeck in the bank and wait to see if it clears will it hurt my account.

I have recieved a check in the mail from this company. The amount was for $1998.70. I also recieved one from Vintex Marketing Research for the amount of 1896.00. Both of these checks look like the real thing and say that I applied to become a MYSTERY SHOPPER!! I did in fact apply to become one. Once you deposit these checks into your account. They then have access to your account number and will take what monies you deposit and wipe it clean!! This is a SCAM!!!!!!

Melody:  You were right not to buy into this scam.  These guys have a very lucrative scam.  You receive a check.  You then wire them $1,450.00.  That money is picked up on the other end.  The check then fails to clear the bank and, wollah, your out the money and under scrutiny for depositing a bad check.  (In some jurisdictions thats a felony!)  Nevertheless, glad to know you didn't get caught up in that business.  More then 100,000 across America were not so lucky.  My question to you is this:  prior to being introduced to this scam, had you went online and sought a mystery shopper position with a "Mystery Shopper Network?"  If so, I would curious to know which company you signed on with.  I am preparing to sue the network that I signed up with for delivering my information to these scam artist.  They should be aware of the people they provide information to and they should be held accountable when scammers are given the information you provided to them.  You can email me at:  razorsharplaw1@gmail.com.  If you know anyone else who has been trapped in a similar deal, give them my address as well.  For those who respond, I will provide my phone number and a sample lawsuit they can download and file pro se against the responsible network.  I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.  G William

The wade clark mulcahy and associates is a real business-it's a company. It looks like they used a business but used other false info.

This is a scam..the letter says to call and ask for Frank Soto its not even a business line and anyway I just called and told him off and he hung up wen I called back he wouldn't answer so there it is the check is not real and this is a scam so be very careful
