I received a check for $1475.00 as well and with instructions to buy 6 eBay $200.00 gift cards from Target , CVS , or Walmart . Send them pics of the cards and scratch off the code on the back . I was supposed to keep the 275 extra as pay for my services . The checks are bad checks and you become responsible for the money and they get the gift cards . Total scam ! I never even received any information that I was accepted as a secret shopper or that I would be sent a job . While I was on vacation getting texts to respond to them and not ignore them . What a joke !

I received a check for $1,475 telling me to purchase eBay gift cards as a secret shopper. I’m sure the check would soon bounce and I would be left to repay it after they had collected the gift card numbers. I have not completed the task and don’t intend to as I’m sure this is a scam.
