Type of a scam Employment
I applied for a Mystery Shopping job online through INDEED last month. A week or so ago I received a call from Prime Evaluation Consultants, Mary White stating that I was approved to work for their company and they would be sending me a package by UPS outlining the job instructions. I received the package yesterday. The package included a welcome letter and 2 Royal Bank cheques drawn the Co-operators Insurance Company for $2,750.00.
Mary contacted me by phone to review and to send me to the bank and conduct my first shops. I explained that I am leaving for Cuba tomorrow and I could not do anything until I return on March 7th. She was fine with that and asked me to hold the cheques until I return and she gives me further instructions.
I contacted the fraud unit at the Co-operators Insurance company and Peter Brand validated that these cheques are fraudulant.
I am willing to work with the police if they would like to try to catch these people as they think I am able to work for them after March 7th.
