I completed an interest form on line just stating that I would be interested in earning extra money. I was sent an priority envelope in the mail with a check and instructions on how to complete my secret shopper experience for WALMART. It was professionally addressed and the check looked completely legitimate. The money order assignment was the one that concerned me. The check included money for my time. I was told to text a number with further instructions as to where to send the money orders. I did not cash the check nor did I complete either of the two assignments.
