Victim Location 06512
Type of a scam Employment
I was initially contacted, via the email [email protected], by a man going by the name of David Grant. The email informed me that I had been chosen for a secret shopper job position in which I would be reviewing the quality of nearby Walmart and Moneygram services. I then received a check in the mail for the sum of $2,350 and was instructed to: take $250 out for my compensation, use $10 to purchase a cashier’s check, $40 for transportation costs, and $50 for transfer charges. The Walmart secret shopper review was not mentioned again, instead, I was instructed to send 2 separate Moneygram orders for $1,000 each, totaling $2,000, to two different addresses both in Houston, Tx 77027. I was told to then send back a review based on a set of 9 questions they had sent me. I was also told I should keep the details of the job a secret, and was not given the official name of the hiring company after requesting it.
