Apex Inc Secret Shopper Scam Warning

Hello mystery shoppers! If a company called ‘Apex Consult Co’ recently contacted you, watch out! You’re like being targeted by scammers out to defraud innocent people of their money.

Here’s whats going on: Someone is attempting  ‘check cashing’ fraud. They’re going to, eventually, try to send you a large check, get you to deposit the check and wire a portion back to them. The problem? The check is either fake or stolen. And you’ll be left owing a LOT of money.

Instead of following their instructions, report them to the police.

Also, they’re being tricky by using the name Apex Consulting. This is very similar to the name of the portal Ath Power uses for their mystery shopper. So don’t be deceived. Any real mystery shopping/secret shopping assignment will only ever pay you a very small sum. They’ll never mail you a check in advance. If it smells like a scam, it probably is.

So, beware! If it sounds too good to be true, it most definitely is. Apex Consult company is a scam. Stay away from them. Ath Power is real, and legitimate. In the mystery shopping world, it is very easy to avoid scams. The trick: Always expect low pay. 😉

    I am appalled that this company would send my parents, both 87 years old this check. Luckily, my dad showed it to me and I did a search to find the information posted here. These scammers are horrible!

    They deposited $610 in my Venmo.com account – I was to secret shop a MoneyGram location. I was to send $500 to them, pay the $37 MoneyGram fee and pocket the other $73 bux.
    My question is, how do they plan on getting my money? I contacted Venmo and they said they will not removed funds from my bank account without my permission. The money is in my bank account now. If anything Venmo might be the ones getting scammed. Hopefully, I just scammed the scammers and pocketed $610. I suppose we’ll see shortly.
