For those who may have received an invitation from Mr. Frank James with Mystery Survey Evaluation Inc, based in East Orange, NJ, to become a mystery shopper and evaluate your local Wal-Mart and Western Union locations, this is a scam! The initial invitation I received via email was formatted as follows:

Let me assure you that this is most certainly a SCAM!

After a series of only 3 emailed responses to Mr. Frank James, in which I sent him my name, address, email address & telephone number, along with the address of the nearest Wal-Mart and Western Union location, I was quickly sent a check for $3,300 by UPS Next Day Air. This check was drawn on a completely different company's account, held by Bank of America.

I was notified via email that I was to receive this first check the same day that I received it, with instructions on how to complete my "assignment". The email read, as follows:

Dear Survey Agent,



Please note that your package for Evaluation has been sent out via UPS
scheduled to be delivered to you today.


UPS Tracking # : J166 717 945 0


You start your survey immediately you receive the package from the
UPS, the package contains the payment which is for your evaluation and
the payment you will use to carry out your evaluation at the Western
Union and Wal-mart store.


More details has been attached to this email as the Evaluation
Instruction Letter which will let you know more on how you will
proceed in doing your survey .


Please make sure that you have highlighted the Wal-mart and Western
Union outlets in your area. You will be evaluating both Services
between 24 to 48 hours after you have received the package from UPS,
if you can't get funds instantly at your Bank, you can deposit it and
withdraw the funds from your account the next day to complete the
assignment. The first three people to give there report between 24 to
48 hours is going to get a free bonus.



Ensure that you confirm via Email to us when you receive the package
and that you understand how to proceed with it .



***I look forward to read an email from you soon as possible to
confirm you got this update .


Thanks,
Frank James.



The email message had an attachment with instructions on how I was to carry out my "assignment", in detail. Those exact instructions were:



EVALUATION INSTRUCTIONS

When I saw the amount of the check, with instructions to cash and/or deposit this bogus check into my account and then wire the bulk of the amount received to yet another individual, I realized that there was no doubt that this was a scam. Rather than simply destroy the check without notifying anyone, I chose to post this bulletin and forward all of the emails and documents I received to my local Attorney General's office. I recommend that you do the same, should you receive information similar to this.

I also contacted Bank of America as soon as the bank opened that same morning that I received the check and verified that there had already been several red-flags placed on that account for fraudulent activity. I contacted the legitimate company whose account it had been drawn on to inform them of the scam. They were only recently aware of the scam and had closed that bank account the previous business day after I received my check after receiving information that this had happend more than three times all across the United States.

I don't know if anyone involved in this illegal activity will be caught or prosecuted, but I will repost any information I may have regarding progress in doing so. Please be aware that if you deposit these bogus checks into your account and draw out cash to send to anyone via Western Union, you will never get your cash back! You will also be responsible for the bad check that was deposited into your personal account, plus any miscellaneous charges for processing the bad check. Be smart.......if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!!!

I can't believe these guys are still in action. I have been legitimately mystery shopping since 2001, and used to do it full time, making several hundred dollars a week doing so. I just saw a listing from these scammers on our local Craigs list and saw immediately that it was bogus. It's a shame these people are preying on people that desperately need a job.

Thank you for this post.

If they scam somebody they will, that is just the nature of the beast. There will always be someone trying to scam stuff from people!!

I just got an email exactly like this. I can't believe there are wasters out there that don't want to do any honest work but would rather fool and steal from people. Lock them up and throw away the key.

If they steal from people what else will they do?
