Type of a scam Employment
Jimmy Collins emailed me through LinkedIn about a mystery shopping opportunity. I followed instructions and later got an email indicating that I would get a package through the mail with my first assignment. Before signing up I researched the information I was provided through ScamPulse.com and everything checked off as a legit company. I received my package today by mail and that is when I started wondering after finding this website: http://www.bestmark.com/scam_alert.htm. Here were my red flags: email is from bestmarkservices.com, I received a text about my assignment from a number I do not recognize 216-839-0634, mail came from a Discount Auto Sales place, check received is from Money Gram and not an actual company, letter received is not on a company letterhead. I am not planning to complete this assignment or cash check because is just seems to good to be true.
Here is the original email received through LinkedIn:
