this is the email this was recieved from.

Then on Saturday the 19th I recieved a package in the mail from an Ashley Stockdale from the address above with a set of instructions and a USPS money order it looked real and my husband thought so to and so on Tuesday the 22nd I went to cash it and it cleared my bank so I followed the instructions that were given. They wanted me to mystery shop my local walmart and spend $50 dollars and then they wanted me to keep $200 for following through the assignment. Then send the rest minus the transaction fee that it would cost to a James Young at 8th str Port Saeed District Deira, Dubia United Arab Emirates through Western Union the reason they said was to check the rates for local and abroad and to see what the process was. After this I was to send a report to them via email to [email protected]. So I did and then I recieved a text from Julius stating that he would send me another assignment the next day. So when I recieved it first thing in the morning on the 23rd it only had three money orders in it and they were all for the same amount and then he sent me another text telling me to do the same thing with these that I did with the first. That is were I got really suspecious and started researching the money orders and found that they were fake. i also recieved a phone call from someone this morning asking when i will get the assignment done and e ad a foriegn voice. the numers used to call and text me are 7793792797 (which he said he was Julis Baker) and 2108880963 not sure who this was.

  • Julius Baker <(Personal Information Removed)> This website says she is an Oakland CA assemblywoman who owns Advantage Consulting Group. I rec. an email 2 days ago from Julius Baker and a text msg from him today. The email from 2days ago was from the above email address. I'll bet, there are a couple of J. Bakers in Oakland CA. Read her bio and you'll see. I get checks in the mail often from bogus mystery shopper companys. 4 checks to date. I've also rec.d 3 counterfit postal money orders to do the same thing. I've been getting them for about 3 or 4 years now. I keep turning them in to the authorities/post office. If anybody says anything to do with sending money through any media, as a mystery shopper job...its a scam...I keep responding to all mystery shopper jobs, no matter who sends them out, who knows...maybe he'll make a mistake and get himself caught up. Sorry you are out that money. Ouch..
