Total money lost $1,800
Type of a scam Employment
I received a check in the amount of $2150.00 to do a secret shopper survey by buying 4 different gift cards at two different Walmart stores. When I did this they took the money out of my account. They told me they would put the money back into my account and I still have not seen it yet. That was 2 weeks ago. I ended up spending $1800.00 out of my pocket since they took the money back.
