Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
I received a message from a colleague on linkedin that indicated he made extra money with a mystery shopper organization. As I have been with other organization I took him up on this offer and reachd out and did my due dillegence in ensuring the company was legit. I received emails stating they would be sending me a package with my first assignment to check a Walmart and a money gram to send the information. I received emails from a Richard Collier ([email protected]) and when I received the package was instructed to email: [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] After doing so, Gmail updates the Gmail accounts with a name associated and it was NOT Richard. it was Hoyeh Shossy. They information they wanted me to wire the money to is: WellsFargo : account #: 1086568340, account name: Rasaq Agbede located at 1112 63rd ave n Madison CT 06443
I immediately called my bank. I thankfully have not sent them any money or my personal information.

Type of a scam Employment
I received an email from LinkedIn stating that Service Checker needs secret shoppers in our area. I sent them my name, address, email address and phone number. Service Checker sent me the attached letter and Cashier’s Check for $1874 with instructions telling me to cash this check, make a purchase of $50 at Walmart and make a Money Gram transfer to the person listed in the letter, keeping $250 as my weekly pay. I did not attempt to cash the check as it appears to be a scam.
