I filled out an application for a mystery shopper jkb and soon started receiving texts with directions on what to do. I received my first "assignment " just 4days after applying with a cashier’s check for $2498. Instructions to deposit the check and take my commission.

Received a text message from Shoppers paid Inc looking for shopper survey in my area and only a few positions were available, I thought it would be fun. I applied and didn’t hear anything until I received the Fed-X envelope on Nov 18, 2019 and received a cashiers check with instructions. Everything sounded ok until I got to the part about depositing the cashiers check and sending a copy of my deposit slip. I have created an attachment of the Shoppers paid Inc. Instructions, check. I tracked the Fed-X envelope which started November 14, 2019, 1:30 am

Shipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting Item BRIDGEPORT, CT 06606 but the check was from Georgia’s OWN Credit Union.
