i got email to become a mystery shopper and found out the hard way that this is a scam. what happened was i was sent a large cheque with instructions to cash the cheque, keep 150 for my self and send the balance to a person in the united kingdom. so, assuming that this was ok, i did what was told to do but within 1 week got a call from my bank that the cheque was counterfeit!!! i put in a police report but was still owing the bank for the large amount of the cheque. DON'T GET FOOLED LIKE ME. IF YOU GET A CHEQUE ALWAYS LET THE BANK PUT A HOLD ON IT FOR WHAT EVER TIME IS NEEDED TO CHECK OUT THE CHEQUE SO YOU DON'T GET BURNED LIKE ME. WATCH OUT FOR ANY ADDS VIA EMAIL SAYING TO JOIN A MYSTERY SHOPPER CLUB.....SCAM!!!!
