I was contacted through an email about a mystery shopper opportunity. Many of these are legit. However, I got suspicious today when I received an email stating the package was being sent UPS, with a check of $975 and further instructions. It so happened that I was contacted a couple of months ago about translating a book. My name was found through and organization that I belonged to which is very well known and recognized. The problem here was that they sent a check (prepayment) in the amount of - you guessed it - $975. A scam. I notified the local police. They came over and made a copy of it. But I was told that nothing can be done, because no crime was committed. I was not out the money. Sad, that people have to be "out the money" in order for they authorities to step in. I will do like the person above and not accept the package.
This is a scam. I received a postal money order which I thought was as good as cash. I deposited it. Bank said it cleared but a day later it bounced. The job was a mystery shopper job and I was supposed to be given $200 out of the money and western union the rest to the next secret shopper. Instead they got my money. and I am out everything.
