Scam Description
I received an email with an “assignment “ as mystery shopper. I never signed up to be a mystery shopper. I was to receive a check for 1877.00, deduct 350 for my commission. Then go purchase 3 gift cards for 500 each. Then photograph the front and back of the card with numbers scratched off or revealed. Fill out a survey form and email the form and photos to the email listed in the instructions. I did not cash the check or go to purchase the gift cards. I identified it as a scam so I am reporting it instead. I was scammed years ago by this same method.
