A Word of Caution about Mystery Shopping

I want everyone to please be aware of MYSTERY SHOPPING scam artist. A lot of this is going around. I don't want to frighten anyone off just start mystery shopping but I do want to warn you.These scam artist prey on people who they see are interested in MS. What they do is send you an email or a letter in the mail telling you how you can make up to 500.00 a day or more mystery shopping.You can make money doing this but I haven't heard of anyone making this kind of money.What they tell is they will send you an check for $2500.00You in return keep $200.00 for you part and send them the rest through a money gram. Then they tell you this is to evaluate the money gram service is why they are doing it. The check looks real and even has a legal MS companies name on it.If you fall for this scam you are out $2500.00 for which you must reimburse your bank for. If you ever get a check like this my advice is to call the mystery shopping company and ask them about it. It is highly unlikely they would send someone a$2500.00 .MS companies just don't do this. So be very careful about this. Good luck. See you next time.
