Hi Shadow. I am so sorry to hear about your scam. I am acquainted with quite a few women that are with Secret Shoppers/Mystery Shoppers and I have never heard of anything like this. Secret Shoppers, as far as I know, are reputable. I have heard of incidences like yours whereas they just get your email and go from there. I get so many emails that come across seas stating that I have won a lottery or an inheritance and this has beden going on for yours. We were warned not to give them the personal information they ask for. I just delete them. I use to try to report them but nothing worked. The Secret Shoppers/Mystery Shoppers (called different names but basically do the same thing), after you have signed up with them and they check you out, then show a job on your email, or they will call you, or it is posted on their site, then you confirm the date and time that you will do it, etc. and afterwards basically you fill out the report and they mail you a check. It is really sad that people like this get away with hard working honest peoples' money. Good Luck.
