I'm in Australia and was almost yet another victim of this scam. I found the add in the local job guide and thought it would be great for a 2nd job.
I received an e-mail reply from a guy named Way Collins letting me know that me application had been sucessful, then nothing for a week. The next e-mail I received from him said that I would be receiving a money order and to cash it immediately and carry out the assignment. The assignment was to go to a money gram outlet and send them to an address in South Africa. Something about it didn't feel right, so I started to google them, and couldn't find anything under the compant name they gave me. When I tried looking for their address, I found this site. While the names are not the same, the Address does match a few:
4069 Collins Avenue
PO Box 120921
St Louis. MO 63114
The company name I was given was: Genesis Evaluations.
I received 3 x money orders for $980.00 each and was meant to keep $250.00 and send the rest to South Africa - after this.......SO not gonna happen!!!!!

I am sorry to past and future victims of this scam, though I am also greatful as your comments and experiences have helped me not become a victim as well. Thank you all VERY much.

I have attached a copy of one of the e-mails sent to me:

[color=#8000FF]Attn Shopper :

We are glad to inform you that the application submitted to out company in regards to you been one of our secret shoppers was approved.And i here by take this opportunity to inform you that we are very busy and you would enjoy your work with us as we are ready to create impact to the Public in training the youth.

The company has issued out payment for this week assignment packet to you meaning that you would be paid $250 weekly and that has been issued to you with some funds which you will use in executing this Assignment .Read below for you Packet Data.

ASSIGNMENT INFORMATION'S :

Read and make sure you understand all that is stated below to avoid any mistake occurrence . This is your assignment .

The Payment you received was issued to cover the project bills for the your weekly wages and Assignment :-

Once you receive the Money Orders first you take the payment in the parcel to your bank and cash the payment Immediately then Deduct your first week pay which is $250 then the remaining balance should be used for the assignment below .

Follow the instructions . Your first assignment is to go to any money gram outlet to find out about their ways on their Trading/operation system.


As a secret shopper , You should pretend as if you were a client and want to send money and memorize all you see at the outlet . We want you to report back to us with the following information :


-Procedure of attendance :
-How many attendance in the outlet :
-Security system {If there is any tight security in the outlet} :
-How many minutes it took for them in attending to one client and processing transfer :


As a secret shopper your job is to detect any thing going on in the outlet.Make sure you memorize everything you see in there cause you would be asked some other questions when you return . Also you cant just walk out of the outlet without making any transactions or you would be suspected ,So that's why we sent you the funds to make the transfer. So we authorize you to send the remaining balance of the funds with you after deducting your $250 weekly wages to the below information provided for our up coming exhibition :

MAKE MONEY GRAM TRANSFER TO :

Text Question: Color
Text Answer: Blue

Our Finance company established a new system which you might never heard of called Alert pay {Alertpay.com}, And this service is been Privately owned and established under our management since 2004 , With competitors we have a very low rating and few customers and we want to develop and upgrade our service to the best and fullest. So we only need the report you provide so we can work on our service.

Make sure you don't go with a note , Cause if they see you writing anything down , They would definitely suspect you are a secret shopper, Just memorize all you see and report back when you get back home . Your next assignment for next week would be visiting one of our competitors Mall, We would provide you with the details and address and your payment for next week. Also to complete this Assignment you have to get back to me with the following information's for the money you sent to our exhibition manager :


1. Senders Name and Address
2.. 8 Digit Money Transfer Reference Numbers
3. The amount transferred after deducting Money Gram charges.


This project Shouldn't take you more than Two days to execute the Assignment and the time limit matters to us , With that we can also determine your efficiency in Hardworking and commitment you show in working with us. Do get back to me with the Money transfer Information and the assignment result so that we can proceed with your second assignment for the week.

Waiting to read from you .

Regards

After reading all of your comments I made this reply to them:
"After not being able to find ANY information on this company on the internet, I decided to google the address. Seems as though it's been mixed up in quite a few scams!!!!
Yes, the money orders HAVE been received and NO I have not even attempted to cash them yet after reading how hundreds of people have been screwed over. I will be destroying the money orders."

I sincerely hope that these people are stopped and that no more people are affected by this scam - Karma's a bitch and they can only get a way with it for so long!!!!!!

Hi,

I actually signed up here just to thank you guys!

I was very sure that this is a scam before, but to know is always better. I actually thought it was a moneywash. Here is the email that I got. I got the check first btw.:

"Hello,

A payment has been sent to you via fedex courier and was delivered Yesterday.Here is the tracking number for the package 8686xxxxxxx. I will like you to follow the following information.

1- Get the payment cashed, deduct you fee of $250

2- Take another $100 to shop for anything at the following walmart store
Wal-Mart

4625 Redwood Drive
Rohnert Park, CA 94928
(707) 586-3717


3- Write your observation in relation to their costumer service(give a detailed report of your shopping experience).And keep the receipt of your purchase for records.

4- Take the remaining balance to the following moneygram location.
longs drug store

750 gravenstein hwy n
Sebastopol, CA 95472-2843
Telephone (707) 823-7062

Request to send the money and the transfer charge will be deducted from the amount you are sending, after the transfer, you will send me the exact amount that will be picked up by the receiver( the whole amount minus the transfer charge) and also the reference number for the transfer. The information which the money will be sent to is as follows.

Name : George Avin
Location : Norcross, GA, 30093


After this second exercise, you should email me your observation too and also the details of the transfer and your shopping.


I will be looking forward to reading from you soon..


Thanks.
Sam Cooper."

What confused me in the first place is, that he did not write from a company email address but from a yahoo-account. I put his check into my bank and when he called to see why I did not send the money yet, I told him I was waiting for the check to clear. Due to my bank the check actually is cleard! I put it in this monday. I am not planning on actually sending him any money. I did never Global E. and also did not give them my SSN. I know this cannot be real... but still the question... since my check actually seemed to be cashed... What should I do with the money? Is it legal to keep it?

ANYWAYS, A BIG THANK YOU!!! :!:

In about a week the bank will find out that the check is counterfeit and they will take the amount of the check back out of your account.

I am glad that you did not get scammed!

You were right, they got the money back out of my account. AFTER IT WAS CLEARED BY THE BANK (they even contacted the other bank to see if the check was really okay and the account was good!). I now have to worry about my account being closed, because it was such a high check, but I am not really worried about that atm. Sam Cooper actually had the gutts to call me AFTER THE CHECK WAS BOUNCED and asked me why I still had not done the job. I told him that the check was bad and played the innocent unknowing victim. He told me to write him an email and he would take care of it. Also, in the meantime I received 2 more checks of the same kind with higher value in the mail. Both came from canada with the offices in the US. Also the letterhead had a different company name as the check. I am affraid they are very interested in my money. :cry: It makes me curious if I can just go the the bank the ceck is from and have them take the money out immediately for a fee.

The thought of revenge is to sweet... But it has to stay at the thought, or might get myself in real trouble. After all, thanks to you I am NOT a victim!

Has anyone else gotten additional letters with more checks? Or actual phone calls?

The checks you are receiving are COUNTERFEIT, they are drawn on active accounts, if you show up at the drawing bank, and try to cash one of those checks, you will go to jail.

I've learned one thing from this, and old cliche statement...if it seems to good to be true, it probably is. In this case, it is. After weeks of waiting for my "assignment" to come via UPS, I received a sketchy letter in the mail with no return address on it and my moneygram checks were wrapped in a piece of newspaper...can you say red flag? There were no formal documents which explained the job and what it entails. These people were obviously scammers and not very intelligent ones at that. Looking over the documents I received from them explaning the job and my "assignment," I could have sworn they were written by a 3rd grader with the grammar and spelling errors made. These people are criminal and should be locked up...and sent back to grade school:)

They are pretty smart, they take millions of dollars away from folks every year, and English is not their first language.

Dear Mystery Shopper,

I don't know what you are up to,with your sudden silence over the payment you receive from our client,i mailed you yesterday night and today but you never reply back,if you know that you are not ready to work you should have not given down your details to the company and am sure you are aware of the fact that you can never abscond with the company's funds and if your intention is to made away with the company's fund,you will face the penalty and will be sue to court.So i will urge you to get back to me within 48 hours if only you don't want to face the penalty,your response is needed urgently concerning this payment and I need you to get back to me as soon as possible.

Glad you have all posted here on this site, to save me some time and frustration. Really hurts to have people like this out there scamming with so many people out of jobs and looking hard. luckily I was just looking for some part time work. If it sounds too good to be true....it is!

Yes. The scam works because the bank will "clear" the cashier's check in 24 hours, and put the funds into your account. Then, you wire the money to him. Then a week or so later the bank calls you and tells you that the check is counterfeit and they want you to return the money.

I am glad that you found this site and info before you sent any money!

Here's what I did to the scammers. I told them that because of recent dating scams that it was the policy of the bank not to wire large sums of money without verifying routing numbers. I told them that my bank would wire the money as soon as they confirmed the routing information by sending a small wire transfer. They e-mailed back and said that they couldn't do that, so I told them that I only had one bank and that rules were rules and that there was nothing that I could do because I already deposited the check (which I have on my bulletin board as a memento). They e-mailed and asked for instructions and my routing number claiming that they did get authorization to send a small amount. Since the scam is known as the "419" scam. I told them that in order for the bank to know that it was legitimate, that they would have to send exactly $9.14. They sent $1.49 the next day; I e-mailed them and told them about the mix up and that the bank was ready to wire the $3850 as soon as the wired amount was correct; I told them that since they made a mistake the first time that a new amount of $2.70 which equals $4.19 adding both deposits needed to be sent. They sent it the next day. I did nothing after that except ignore their e-mails. Two days later a guy with a Canadian accent called me directly wondering what happened to the $3850 deposit. I told him that the check that he gave me was flagged by the bank as fake and that I was phoned by an international multi-jurisdictional fraud task force investigator from Canada who was investigating the incident. Next, I told him that my phone was being monitored in case that he called, and that he better put on his tennis shoes and make tracks--he said something like oh you a$$*** and hung up. I called the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and talked to an investigator; I explained the whole story, gave him the routing numbers that the scammer's transfer came from, the phone number off of my caller I.D. and faxed him the fake check (he told me to mail it, but I told him to send me a self-stamped addressed envelope first--he said "nice try" and agreed to accept a scanned e-mailed copy.) I've heard nothing back at this point, but hey, I'm $4.19 richer less an 8 minute phone call to Canada for $3.29.

He should have never messed with an ex-car salesman

I'm the kind of guy who calls the doctor's office and remind them that I have an appoint 2 days before I go.
