In times like these I don’t understand why people are still trying to play these games. It’s more scams on top of scams and the cashier’s check looks so real. This person needs to be stopped.

SAME exact thing happened to me. Not only did I receive exactly what you did, but the guy sent me the same assignment twice within a 2 month period! I also had received the same check you did the first time and the second time I got a different looking check. I uploaded my photos I had gotten this second time. These scammers need to be stopped!

Received a USPS Priority Envelope today with a return address THE ABSTRACT COMPANY 1723 PINE ST. PHILADELPHIA, PA 19103-6701.

Inside was a letter with a bad Walmart logo, then it has P&s SURVEY GROUP #1 Employer of Mystery Shoppers.

AGENT NUMBER #5684 SURVEY DOCUMENT SECTION 4 BATCH K

It also had a check for $2430.00 drawn from The Bryn Mawr Trust Company 801 Lancaster Avenue, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010

The instructions on the letter told me to text message confirming the receipt of the packet. It also gives a phone number which they say is a 24/7 Text-Support line. it goes on to read:WE HAVE A PAYMENT RESTRICTION ON YOUR CHECK TO PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED CASHING. A DEPOSIT INTO AN ACTIVE CHECKING ACCOUNT IS REQUIRED FOR RESTRICTIONS TO BE LIFTED. TEXT US SOON AS YOUR DEPOSIT IS MADE.

It goes on with instructions to visit 2 Walmart stores and buy 5 $200 Gift Cards, submit a report and text confirming my assignment has been completed.it then says"Please scractch the silver strip at the back of each cards to reveal the codes, send a clear picture of each card showing all 4 corners along with the purchase receipt and your report to the following email addresses [email protected]

My salary was to be $400, with $30 for expenses.

Long story short-too many grammar errors in the letter. And when you try to call the number it gives you a message that it’s a tech support line. When we hung up-we immediately got a text message"Did you receive your Walmart Assignment? We called again we got a text saying" I’m presently attending to lots of agents and can’t receive calls at this time"

I received this FED EX envelope in the mail. The letter was stating that this is from a survey group -Wal-Mart- giving me detailed instructions to text a number whenever I deposit this $2,430 check into my bank account. And after I supposedly deposit this check I go to 2 different Walmart’s in my area and answer questions about the store. And I am suppose to purchase a series of gift cards at each store totaling $1000 each and I get to keep the remaining $430. The check looks real and has a “heat sensor” on the check and everything. But it’s a scam to take your money!

Received 2 USPS priority mail envelopes on the same day, each containing an official check for $2850 and a letter with instructions on how I am to spend the money (buying Multiple WalMart gift cards) at 2 different WalMart’s in my local city. My town has ZERO WalMart’s so I would need to travel to the two bordering towns to do this. Letter states I am to TEXT msg to phone number 586-213-3430 as well as email [email protected] as soon as I receive the package and I must complete the purchases within 48 hours Then alert the same number by text that I have completed the tasks and send them PICTURES OF ALL THE GIFT CARDS AND PIN NUMBERS and I will receive a $100 bonus 24 hours after I do this in addition to the $350 left from the checks received. There is also a form to fill out related to the shopping experience to grade the experience you had in buying the cards. The address on top of the survey form is a Calgary AB Canada address. This is how they scam you….the pictures serve as a purchase receipt to them and they can then use the gift cards to buy things online while you are stuck holding the bag for fictitious checks. My 80 yr old mom was a scam victim about 10 years ago and she Lost her butt paying the bank back for the fake checks. The return address on the envelope is from *** *** ***, 125 Cessna Dr, Beaver Falls PA 15010-1060. Checks are drawn on Rogue Credit Union in Medford OR and are 59 numbers apart in sequence numbering.
