Ok check this out. I post my resume to craigslist.com because i was in dire need of employment. After a few days i got a couple responses. One of which, was claiming to be a "mystery shopper company" . They told me theyd send a check for 2,759 dollars. I was to take 600 and shop with 100 then write a survey on my experience and wire the rest to the next "seceret shopper" via moneygram or western union. Easy right!
Wrong!Its a scam after cashing the check and completeing this persons request, whom ive only communicated with via text and email, the check bounced a few days later. My account was over drawn by more than 2 grand.
But the trechary didnt end there, i recieved a text a couple days later requesting me to send 150 to someone else and id be reimbursed. I immeadiately told them that the check bounced i was now suing them for fraud. After which i recieved no response and they no longer communicated with me.

These ppl usually contact ppl thru craigslist ads. If you get an email saying anything like "we are a seceret shopper company", the person says they are a marine or they want you to babysit thier kid, cause they are moving DO NOT BELIEVE IT! THIS IS A SCAM AND THEY WILL TAKE YOU TO THE BANK AND DISSAPPEAR WHEN SHIT HITS THE FAN!

Here are a few names that are synonymous with this scam, if you see any of these names dont trust it:
Justin D Alexander
BRADFORD P MICHEAL
SHIWANNA KNIGHT
DELMY SAUNDER
ALLEN HILL
FOWOSIRE ALADE

They usually contact you Via google voice and want you to cash it immeadiately. I hope this helps anyone who may also be about to get tricked like this.
