INTERNET FRAUD ALERT
SCAMMED BY NEW EMPLOYER!
Nevada, USA: A struggling unemployed mom’s bank account was wiped out clean by what she thought was her new employer. Diligently seeking work for several months, she received an email she had been hired as a field agent (a.k.a. mystery shopper) by what she believed was a legitimate market research company.
The job came through an established and reputable website posting telecommute work. The new job appeared legitimate, spelling out terms of the field agent position, including compensation and responsibilities. There was business contact information and a website address included on the hire email. When she attempted to investigate the hire company’s website, the link took her to a godaddy.com ad page which raised her suspicions.
The assignment arrived, via FED EX, a US postal money order (including watermark and silver tape) was included with instructions. Still cautious, she simply followed directions, took the money order to her bank branch, where she trusted the trained employees to detect whether it was fraudulent. The Wells Fargo bank teller took several minutes to examine the note and gave it over to her supervisor to scrutinize as well. The note was approved so she moved forward with her assignment; to evaluate a Western Union outlet.
After completing the assignment and submitting an evaluation report she received another email later that day, congratulating her on her excellent performance with instructions for the next assignment and more pay, as a bonus for her professionalism and efficiency. It arrived the following day and included two US postal money orders. This time, two tellers and a supervisor at her bank branch, became suspicious immediately as they viewed the notes. The mom explained she had just been hired by a new employer and a US postal money order from this company had been approved only days prior.
Later that day it was confirmed a counterfeit. The con had been played. The poor mom’s error was in trusting the trained professionals at the bank -- a hard lesson in desperate times. The local Wells Fargo bank, in the meantime, deducted the stolen money from the mom’s account, leaving it wiped out with a negative balance. Had the bank identified the initial fraudulent note, the mom would have learned a valuable lesson, and still have money to provide for her family. Instead, the criminals got away with a scam and are now off to prey on another innocent victim.

| Yeah I just received a 900 dollar money order and ther is no way I am cashing it. I know people who do real Mystery Shopper work and it's a normal job with normal pay. There no way a person can make $250 to do one survey. |
