I just received the money order in the mail. I did respond to being a secret shopper, and was told I would recieve $200 for my 1st assignment, which was supposed to be secret shopping at a Walmart. Today I got through Priority Mail, United States Postal Services. The address it was shipped from is: Julie Shoemaker 202 S. Barbara Way Anaheim, CA. 92806-4038 The money order I received amt. is $985.00 I'm told to take to my bank and cash. Keep $150 and answer some questions about how Money Gram Money Transfer stores did. How fast the service. How safe the neighborhood, How close it is to my house, was request for to short or long, The name, and then general comments. I'm supposed to send a MONEY ORDER to: Chris Willis 2875 Fork Creek Church Rd. Ellenwood, GA. 30294. I'm obviously not going to do what I'm supposed to do, but I would like to know how I can get these people. Who do I contact about this. Should I go to the post office with this info.? Thank You. Be careful I was told to email my completed for to [email protected]

- Chad, can you tell me what you mean when you said "I did respond to being a secret shopper"? Do you mean somebody solicited, via email or other form, for you to be a secret shopper? I know someone who was a victim of this scam. So I would like to get these people as well. If you could share who solicited a secret shopper and their name, contact information, etc., please let me know know all you can. My guess is Julie Shoemaker is a real person and she is actually the victim in this - The person running the scam has found her banking information and created this money order. The money will likely be taken from her bank account. By chance, was the priority mail labelled "Click-N-Ship"? My friend is going to contact the Post Office - my guess is these people are not in the US - but we'll find eventually find them.

- I received the same items and instructions - 27MAR2013. The bank had no worries about cashing the money order today but I still have the cash. Too bad Crawford. Went to the Police - they told me to wait until the bank can confirm the status of the USPS Money Order. (Probably fake. But wow, it was a very good counterfeit if it is a fake.) Now I wait. If the MO is good, then I have $800 that a legit owner needs back - hopefully the name of the purchaser which is on the MO. If the MO is fake, then no worries from me or the bank. More to come.

Brian, the MO is obviously fake - Why would you cash it? Good thing you didn't forward the rest of it onward or you would be held liable for the money. The idea is that you cash the MO and then send the remainder to the next person, essentially scamming you.
Obviously nobody in their right mind would send someone a legitimate MO on the assumption that they'll just send the rest of the cash to the next person. NOBODY would do that.
But that's not what the scammer is hoping. The scammer is hoping you will send the remainder of the cash forward under your name (making it a legit MO and giving them real cash). Since the MO is fake, you'll just have to return the cash to the bank, Ior maybe they're going to hold you liable. -
