I received a letter via USPS from Global Test Market introducing the Mystery Shopper Program. On Feb.14, 2017 I called the 800-236-7900 and spoke with Daniel. He explained the program and told me to contact him when the check had been cleared. I deposited the check on Feb. 14. 2017, Friday. On Feb. 17, 2017 I withdraw cash and purchased the gift cards as instructed by Daniel at Global Test Market. On Feb. 24, 2017 I received a letter from my banking stating that the check from Global Test Market was fraudulent. I am currently trying to recover my funds from the gift card company.

Deposit their check and wait till it posts to your account and then call them back to discuss the purchase of a gift card, which I assume they will want sent back to them. I had my bank verify that the check was indeed fraudulant.

received letter with a check for $1083.00 from northern trust bank in oakbrook terrance, il 60181. global test market said to deposit check in my account and not tell anyone i was a mystery shopper. i asked my daughter to check on this company and the phone numbers it had listed. supposedly they are in flint, mi but the phone number comes up as a different state 416-312-0819 or 800-405-2091, fax number 866-791-2284. this has to be a scam with so many different states and numbers involved.
