I recieved a UPS package at my home and if I wasn’t such a researcher I would have fallen for this SCAM!BEAWARE they are not real .. The letter congratulated me on my first assignment as Secret Surveyor which I did not sign up for and a $2950.00 check,
The money was to be used as follows: $450 for my work and $2,500 to buy Nike gift cards. After buying the cards I was supposed to scratch of the back of the card and take a picture of the front and back of the card. Needless to say this is a scam pure and simple and I did not deposit the check or purchase the gift cards. Beware of deals that seem too good to be true!BYE FELICIA! I’m proudly bringing my check to the BPD..

See pics. Received instructions and a cashier’s check from The Bank of Hawaii for $2950 instructing me to buy Nike gift cards and keep the remaining $450. I reported them this fraud to the Bank of. Hawaii, the USPS, FBI, and Whole Foods. DO NOT fall for this. There is not information when you search for Covestel Enterprises, the address does not exist on USPS. I Googled the address on Google Maps and it just shows an intersection.

I received a text message inquiring whether I would be interested in being a secret store evaluator for Whole Foods. Since I shop at the store I said yes, besides they were going to compensate me for the work. I applied and was selected to do the evaluation. Several days later I received a US Priority Mail letter and check for $2,950. The money was to be used as follows: $450 for my work and $2,500 to buy Nike gift cards. After buying the cards I was supposed to scratch of the back of the card and take a picture of the front and back of the card. Needless to say this is a scam pure and simple and I did not deposit the check or purchase the gift cards. Beware of deals that seem too good to be true!
