Was sent this text message from the number 440-855-7482 on 8/17/2020. I knew it was a scam. I have been sent the message before and just deleted it. I decided to report it this time. I can only imagine how many people fall for this because the need is there and people are desperate.

just received invitation. Knew it was scam

Initial means of contact Email

Applied to be a mystery shopper with a completely separate company and am now realizing it’s all connected. received a certified mail package with a check and instructions for my “first shop”. I was to deposit the check keep 300.00 for commission and use 1500.00 to purchase 3 Best Buy gift cards for 500.00 each and write a report based on my experience . To be fair at this point I feel like a total [censored] for having not seen the big RED signs screaming at me but no I followed the directions including sending proof that they were bought (should been a huge red flag) but again I followed directions. Now the gift cards are emptied and I’m out the 1847.00 for this check and had I been a little smarter I would have shredded the damn envelope and blocked all communications. I have filed multiple reports including a police report regarding the gift cards, hoping to either get reimbursed for them or hoping to catch the [censored]s who went into stores and purchased with the numbers.
