Comments on: MoneyGram to Repay $18 Million to Victims of Mystery Shopper Scam and Other Scams http://www.mysteryshoppersmanual.com/moneygram-to-repay-victims-of-mystery-shopper-scam Tips for being a successful professional shopper Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:15:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Cathy Stucker http://www.mysteryshoppersmanual.com/moneygram-to-repay-victims-of-mystery-shopper-scam/comment-page-1#comment-1522 Cathy Stucker Tue, 09 Feb 2010 05:07:11 +0000 http://www.mysteryshoppersmanual.com/?p=852#comment-1522 Do not withdraw any of the money from your account, and do not have further contact with the scammers. IMMEDIATELY notify your bank that you were the victim of a scam and the checks you deposited were forgeries. You letting them know is better than waiting for them to find out when the checks bounce. You may also wish to notify the police, but I would start with the bank. I'm glad you caught this before you sent money anywhere.

I just now recieved an email from a mystery shopping site asking me to send part of the money through money order. I now realize that it is a scam and will not send the money but who should i report this to the bank or the police? Am I going to get in trouble due to this?

It may or may not be the name of a mystery shopping company, but chances are the company on the check is a real, legitimate business. The check, however, is not from them. It is from a scammer. Scammers use name and account information from all kinds of companies. Scammers lie. The bottom line is this: If you get a check and are told to cash it and wire money somewhere, it is a scam. It doesn't matter who sent it to you, it doesn't matter the amount, and it doesn't matter what the company name is. If they ask you to wire money, it is a scam. No exceptions.
