the list. I recently received an e-mail saying there was an opening available. (all via e-mail) My first assignment arrived.

I received an overnight with 2 money orders $990 each.

ou will receive 2 payment (money orders) total of $1,980 which you are to DEPOSIT at your bank (we do this for record purpose)

Funds will be available to you immediately or on or before 24 hours after deposit.

Upon the receipt of the payment you are to follow the instructions. The Money Orders you will receive covers all expenditures including

evaluation, shopping, transport and your compensation (salary=$200) for these surveys.

You are to purchase Goods of your Choice for your own Use not more than $50, at any Wal-Mart store close to you.

During this assignment which requires you to have the Money Order cashed at your bank before proceeding to wire the remaining funds at any

local Western Union Money Transfer location in your area.

You received the money orders already? Have you done any work? Did your friend end up working for them? It seems fishy to me.

it's a scam If you google "secret shopper 2 money orders $990" you get all sorts of scam reports

it sounds like a scam to me ma'am. Before depositing the money orders, I would suggest you contact your local Better Business Bureau. I

It was SEVERAL years ago. I haven't talked to her in years!!! I don't even know if it is true

It sounded like a scam to me but I didn't know how to check it out. I received the $$$

TRANSFER THE REST OF THE FUNDS(in minute) THROUGH WESTERN UNION TO THE BELOW INFORMATION:

agreed, check Internet snopes better business bureau even the friend ....

If it is a scam, and it probably is, you will be liable for the money deposited

I thought secret shoppers only made like $50. I don't understand why they would give you that much, especially if they expect you to

Buy something that is $50. I'd run away from it ASAP.

The whole things sounds fishy to me.

What do I do with the money orders that I received?

ANYTHING coming from over seas is a scam! Take the money orders to your bank and show them to the manager. He will be able to tell you if

Definitely fishy. I'd just shred them.

they are fake, which I promise they are. DO NOT CASH THEM!

Thank you so much. I appreciate having such wonderful friends. It sounded to good to be true, but I didn't know what to do.

I feel like this huge stress has been relieved

they are totally fake - my husband and i made the mistake of following the instructions and were out over 800 dollars - DO NOT DO IT

it's totally a scan. report it to the police.

mary-love that is so awful.

Thank you so much

Yeah secret shoppers make next to nothing and you get paid after.

I would take them to the authorities. Maybe they can trace them somehow.

You can also contact the local FBI office. They also handle these sorts of banking fraud cases.

Scam

glad you asked first.
