I was contacted by a company, "Global Business Modifications" and advised they were looking for Mystery Shoppers. I went through a prescreening interview over the phone. I was told that my resume had been found online. I didn't think anything about it as I am currently looking for work. They advised they would have my training kit Purolatored out to me. About two weeks had went by and I recieved nothing. the women had kept in touch with me. I then did recieve my training kit. Included in the kit was a cheque for $2390, a welcoming letter, a copy of the survey and duties/ instructions. I was advised to take a deposit the cheque as she had lifted the security clearence. Once I deposited the cheque I was to do my first evaluation. A wal-mart, I called once I arrived for my instructions. First I was to go to the Western Union in the Wal-Mart to do an evaluation, however the service was down. She then had me proceed to a different location. As I did that and completed the transfer, my next location was then a shoppers drug mart.
After completing these two elvaluations for the day I spoke with my bf who wasnt buying it.
I googled the addess listed on the welcoming kit I recieved and it was listed as another business. I called the number assocatited with that business and the women advised she had recieved a lot of mail/ calls about "Global Business Modifications" I did contact the rep from this company and questioned this and she advised they did office sharing.
My cheques is supposed to clear on the 10th, I doubt it very much though.
I fully believe this is a SCAM!
I have spoken to the financial fraud dept. with the Toronto Police.

  • Same thing here. I was sweet talked to get hired by a company to do the secret shopper stuff. They sent me cheques to deposit to my personal account. They asked me to wire the money through Western Union under someone else's name but with my last name in the title as a dummy transaction. They asked me to wire the money and today the last one of their cheques bounced. As a matter of fact I deposited 5 cheques already with the amount of $1195 each. I contacted the lady today and she told me that she will look into it but she never picked her phone nor got back to me. When I saw similar posts in scam book today, I have to say this might be a scam business somehow.
