GlobalTestMarket is aware our brand is being used illicitly in a direct mail scam involving Wal-Mart mystery shopping. GlobalTestMarket is not associated with the group operating this scam from Ontario, Canada. The victims are allegedly targeted from job websites.
Here are the components of the scam:
1. An individual receives a letter through the postal service. The letter has copied trademark logos from GlobalTestMarket and other survey companies and large corporations;
2. The letters have different return addresses, but appear to have a common phone number with an Ontario, Canada area code of 905.
3. The letter requests participation in a Wal-Mart mystery shopping exercise;
4. The letter is accompanied with a large sum bank check (i.e. $3,999.00);
5. The individual must go to their bank and cash the check;
6. The individual must then go to Wal-Mart and purchase an item;
7. They are required to fill out a form detailing the Wal-Mart shopping experience;
8. They must purchase a Wal-Mart MoneyGram in the amount received less $100.00 dollars ($3899.00);
9. They must send the mystery shopping form and the MoneyGram back to the scammers;
10. The mystery shopper keeps $100.00 for their participation.
