Consumer received check in the mail for "survey" asking to deposit check, purchase gift cards, and still have money left over for himself. He brought the check in to the bank that business was drawn on and was told that no such account existed so consumer brought the check in to BBB office to report scam.

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

Company sent me check for 2347.00 to go to two different stores and buy 4 Reloading plus packs, scratch all. Do the report and send to them all info they were requesting and include pin numbers that appear after scratching each reloadit pack and then after they receive report from me they will send me notice of where to send the reloadit packs. I was to keep 300.00 for myself and if there was money left over I could keep it for gas. I have not done anything as it appears to be a scam

Scott Coleman is the name of the person who contacted me about being a mystery shopper. I was sent a check on Monday for $2337, they sent it via USPS priority mail. I was told to deposit the check, tell them when I did that, then I could go to any of a bunch of national chains and buy 4 $500 reloadable gift cards, email them again when I do that and tell them the pin # for the cards and a short report about the store. Was it clean, were people helpful, etc. And then I could keep the $337. But when I took the check to my bank, the teller there informed me that the check was fraudulent. I feel violated of my human rights because I just wasted $30 in gas to get this cleared up.

I received a letter from Sinclair Customer Service with a check for 2,345 to start secret shopping. I was then asked to remove 300 for my personal use to shop and then deposit $500 onto 4 reloadit pack cards. Then asked to send them the email with the cards on it and do not try to activate the cards. I immediately looked up the business because something seemed off and everyone stated that it was a scam

Type of a scam Employment

Thomas Gibson emailed me about an opportunity to secret shop for Walmart and MoneyGram. I didn’t think much of it but I then received mail that had a $1000 money order in it. I took the money order to my bank and they cashed it with no problem. I was asked by Mr. Gibson to to to Walmart and use MoneyGram to send $800 to a Jeff Berman so that he could pick it up at his local Walmart in San Antonio, TX. I processed the MoneyGram and shortly after the money order was reversed at my bank and I received notice that it was altered or fictitious. The amount was charged back to my account.

contacted to be a mystery shopper & that was thru Sinclair via email. It was to do a Walmart Store survey. They send you money and you purchase what they tell you to. Once I was assigned my job, via cell phone, thru [email protected], Richard Williams task manager I accepted. They were to send package with instructions. Thru the next week they told me numerous times package had arrived. It had not. We both tracked package & it was still 2 days out – in transit. Get package & now it is a 3rd company Richhy Wil @ L.R. Distributors in Brooklyn NY. I deposited check they gave me $1680.00 and was waiting for it to clear before I completed my assignment of buying a $1300.00 money to money transfer to a 4th address Frank Bush 128 Berkshire Lane in Fort Worth TX 76134. The fee would be $50.00 and the balance was to be mine ($300.00 for pay & $30.00 to shop with & report on your shopping experience. In the next 3 – 4 days my bank told me to be very careful. So I never completed my assignment while waiting for the check to clear. Finally on 4th day check for $1680.00 was ret’d. THANK god I did not purchase the money to money transfer @ Walmart as I would be out ALOT more than my bank’s $19.00 bank fee for ret’d check. They harrassed me daily to a) complete assignment and b) provide them with my banking info so they could push thru the transactions. They got nothing other than text response DAILY that I was still waiting for their check to clear. One of those nights of harassment they called me # 2:17am. There have been 2 different cell phone #’s calling or texting so they probably use a burner phone for one week.
