Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
A private message was sent to me on Linkedin offering this opportunity to earn extra cash as a secret shopper. I filled out the questionnaire and received an email from a Jeffery McSweeney stating that I had been hired and would receive my assignment in the mail with instructions to immediately complete the assignement the next day. About four days later I received a legit looking check in the mail for $2995.80 with instructions to deposit the check in my account immediately and go the next day to purchase three Iphones and evaluate the store where I purchased them from. The remaining four hundred dollars would be mine to keep. I was assured the funds would be available the next day and I was required to perform the evaluation one day after depositing the check. The whole thing seemed fishy to me so I did not deposit the check. I did however receive two separate emails from Jeffery and his cohort telling me that they would take "ACTION" if I did not fulfill my assignment. I had already told him once that I wanted off his list and the last time I told him I would be reporting them to the BBB.
