Melody: You were right not to buy into this scam. These guys have a very lucrative scam. You receive a check. You then wire them $1,450.00. That money is picked up on the other end. The check then fails to clear the bank and, wollah, your out the money and under scrutiny for depositing a bad check. (In some jurisdictions thats a felony!) Nevertheless, glad to know you didn't get caught up in that business. More then 100,000 across America were not so lucky. My question to you is this: prior to being introduced to this scam, had you went online and sought a mystery shopper position with a "Mystery Shopper Network?" If so, I would curious to know which company you signed on with. I am preparing to sue the network that I signed up with for delivering my information to these scam artist. They should be aware of the people they provide information to and they should be held accountable when scammers are given the information you provided to them. You can email me at:
[email protected]. If you know anyone else who has been trapped in a similar deal, give them my address as well. For those who respond, I will provide my phone number and a sample lawsuit they can download and file pro se against the responsible network. I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon. G William
