Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
Mystery Secret Shopper. E-mail says you will be paid $200 for mystery secret shopping and completing a survey. Priority mail envelope with fake money order of $*** arrives, along with a letter urging you to immediately cash/deposit and start shopping immediately for $*** worth of gift cards. Then, the instructions say to scratch off the gray backing so the code shows, take photos and e-mail them to the address on the letter. Chances are, the check won’t clear and the bank will take the funds from you after you’ve already given the gift card info to the scammer.
