I received a package with a check for $948 and instructions to participate in a mystery shopping opportunity. The contact name was Jadawn Kelly. I was told to deposit the check, buy 2 reloadable cards for $375 each and send copy of receipt via text. The instruction sheet included the ScamPulse.com logo. I did not do as instructed but did call the BBB. They were unable to find the company listed in their records.

I received a text from an unusual and incomplete phone number 1(410)200-506 from Larry. I clicked the message and it took me to a website asking to apply to become a retail secret shopper. Stating that they (Retail Secret Shopper) is the premier intelligence shopping company, that they are a chartered member of the industry trade association, the Mystery Shopping Providers Association (MSPA) and services provided by Sights on Service, Inc. reading all these different companies and names I decided to look some of them up to see if anything came up about the retail secret shopper or if this is a scam. I could not find the link to this website, the name of this website, the name of this company, or any information on this website related to any of these companies mentioned anywhere. So I’m concerned it may be a scam and needs to be caught as soon as possible if so.

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
Received a package via mail with a cashier’s check for $1950.00 on 03/29/2017 assigning me to use a Money-Gram assessment. I was assigned to deposit the check into my account and I was to keep the remainder cash. The letter sent to me was as directed to me: The receiving agent: Gary Austin City: Istanbul Country: Turkey Zip: 34000 – I was to send $1500 via Money Gram Money Transfer.
At the bottom of the letter I received, I was told under no circumstances was I to acknowledge that I was a "mystery shopper" because it would "deter the purpose of the whole program". If asked, I was to answer "NO".
