Shopper Evaluator GMX

Victim Location 60612

Type of a scam Employment

I received an email from Target requesting to be a secret shopper. I entered my name, address, phone # and email address (I know…I’m an [censored]) but I thought it was legit. Soon after I received a text or email from Target about being a secret shopper and all I had to do was call or email to confirm the assignment. I didn’t respond but sent this request to Target I believe to the scam dept. Then I received a USPS express mail package with a cashier’s check of $*** and a letter with the header that says Walmart2Walmart and MoneyGram. The assignment was to take the check to the bank and deposit the money then to deduct $*** as commission, $80 for walmart2walmart and $** for Walmart shopping evaluation. Then it says to use $** to buy something, then go to the money center and transfer $*** and send it to a Richard Hempel 7451 McCart Ave Fort Worth, TX 76133 via Walmart2Walmart, and then transfer $910 to Patrick Noriega 7451 McCart Ave Fort Worth TX 76133 via Walmart2Walmart. Then email an evaluation regarding how long it took for the wire to reach the person and only text when I received the package signed by a Richard Alston (The Evaluation Manager). I did none of the above nor do I intend to, but I have the letter and the check…which I am going to void.
