Mon, 05 Apr 2010 03:15:43 +0000 http://mysteryshoponline.com/blog/scam-warning-2/#comment-8364 I have and do work for a true Mystery Shopper co. Now, going on 3 yrs. As, for those companies that sent to you a check of a large amount, no true mystery shopping company does that. One never gets a check from a stranger to do work second. You also have work forms to work from on each job. Trust the ones that do honest work. Just trash them. They get by into regular mail, when you do answer them. A check for thousands, wow, what kind of funny money paper do they use. Hope this does help. I have and do work for a true Mystery Shopper co. Now, going on 3 yrs.

Work at home emails? I get several such offers per week. I reply to most of them, get my counterfeit checks in the mail, and display them in my trophy case. NEVER try to deposit a mailed check. It is always a fake. You can get into a lot of trouble taking one to the bank. I have sent emails to the police in the destination cities, giving names and addresses. So far no law enforcement agency has ever replied to my tips. So watch yourselves; it's rough out there. The ol’ Mystery Shopper scam? Work at home emails? I get several such offers per week.
