Secret Shopper Thomas Anderson
Complaint 26167 Details

A man named Thomas Anderson e-mailed me as the head of a secret shopper ("registered trademark"). I have all the e-mails he sent me asking for my adress, age, name, etc. Well, anyways, I got a cashier's check in the mail for $935.50 and had to cash it. They told me to keep $200 and send $700 through western union bank using "money in minutes" and I did just that. I told the bank to verify the funds before they cashed the check, but obviously not, because the check bounced and MY account is now negative the full $935.50 and I DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY to fix it. I am getting calls from the bank and have no way out of this. I tried calling the number in the e-mails from the secret shopper company and of course it is automated always saying "The person you are trying to reach is unnavailable blah blah blah..." I sent $700 through western union bank to a "Brenda Kurowski living in Bushkill, Pennsylvania" and used $58.00 for tranfer charges so I only ended up with $177 instead of the full $200 anyway. I hoped for reimbursment of the extra $23 I had to pay and a second assignment, but never heard from then again. I am really scared and don't know how to get my account back to normal! Please help.
