services Complaint - Mystery Shopper Scam  Review by ironmaiden
on 2010-12-20 If you are contacted by a Gary Wimbrough alleging
to be a manager for a mystery shopper company please be advised
that it is a scam. I cannot work my regular job due to cancer
but I thought the money I could earn from mystery shopping would
help me keep afloat. I was sent a "cashier's check" with
instructions to cash it at my bank and use the money to evaluate
the local western union. I sent the money as directed but then
discovered that the cashier check bounced and now I have to pay
it back. I do not have the money but my bank stated that since
they gave me the money I am responsible for paying it back
regardless of the fact that I was scammed and do not have the
money. Please be careful about mystery shoppers. I even checked
the company on-line and it seemed to be a legetimate company.
Don't get scammed like I
