I first received an e-mail saying that I would be undertaking my first secret shopping/customer service evaluation assignment. I knew this was wrong, as I have already been doing secret shopping and getting paid minimal services, not the large fees that they were offering. This is what was in the e-mail:

I have had this happen to me about 1.5 years ago to know that this was a scam! I wanted to report it, as I do not want others to get in this type of scam.

Type of a scam Employment
Was sent an email concerning possible position as a Mystery Shopper. This company sent me a cashier’s check from a local FL credit union.
So I deposited the check and then I received several additional emails stating that I would be evaluating Western Union. I was to send three amounts at different locations and evaluate service. In the meantime this company stopped payment on the cashier’s check and now my bank account is nearly $2000 in the negative.
