The Mystery Shoppers Team

Victim Location 60007

Type of a scam Employment

I received a text that Walmart was hiring mystery shoppers. I clicked on the link and completed my info in what seemed like a legitimate Walmart website. I then received an email stating I would receive my check and ‘assignment’ in the mail. I received this letter and check (see image) in the mail, requesting for me to deposit the check and then ‘evaluate’ Western Union’ (which can be located in Walmart stores) by sending wire transfers of $815 each to two people listed in the letter. I immediately knew it was a scam and upon further research found that the party listed on the fake check is a random company that sells RV and marine products. I also called them to let them know their name was being used in this scam.
