So I got my Assignment and 2 money orders in the mail:
Hello,

Tracking number :EOEO054785267US

You don't have to worry,the job given to you is 100% legitimate and you have nothing to loose or worry about in working with us,we have licensed to operate as a Secret shopper within the united states,so all you have to do is to follow the instructions carefully and get back to me as soon as possible,you are to cash the money orders at your bank,deduct $300 for your salary and shop with $20 at any wal mart store.

Below is the instructions to follow;

DETAILS:
1ST survey: You will be Evaluating any Wal Mart Store in your City,cash the money order or deposit the money orders at your Bank and then Go ahead with any Wal-mart Evaluation in your area.The money order you received covers all expenditures including evaluation, shopping , transport and your compensation ( salary=$300 but you get $300 Per survey and you get 2 or More surveys Weekly ) for these surveys. You are to purchase Goods of your Choice for your own Use not more than $20, at any Wal Mart Store close to you,below is the guidelines to follow at the store;

GUIDELINES
-Name and Address of the stores
-Procedure of attendance:
-How many attendances in the outlet:
-How many minutes it took for them to attend to you:

Email me back with the above guidelines as soon as you get the survey completed.

Also you will be using Western Union services to send the balance to another Secret shopper to carry out her own survey. As a secret shopper, you should go there and study how to send money and memorize all you see at the outlet.

The reason for the western union is because our Finance department has just established a new system that you might have never heard of and it is called Alert pay,and this service is been Privately owned and established under our management since 2004 with many competitors we have a very low rating and few customers and we want to develop and upgrade our service to the best and fullest. So we only need the report you provide so we can work on our service.This is why we want you to send the balance via western union transfer in minutes so that we can test the service if it is working properly.

Please try as much to be discrete while doing your work as a Secret shopper, just observe all you see and report back when you get back home. Your next survey would be giving to you immediately you complete your first survey.

Also to further finalize this survey, you have to get back to us with the below western union transfer information for the money you sent,you are to send the money in minutes :

As a secret shopper your job is to observe any thing useful going on in the outlet.Make sure you observe everything you see in there because you would be asked some other questions when you return.So then you would go ahead and make western union transfer to another Secret shopper for another survey.

TRANSFER THE REST OF THE FUNDS THROUGH WESTERN UNION TO THE BELOW INFORMATION ;

I received 2 money orders both for the amount of $975.19. I called My local Post Office to see where I could get them cashed. The P.O. advised me it was most likely a scam so they ran a check on the M.O. and they were right. I advise everyone to do this before you attempt to cash them. I emailed the company back and informed them that I would not have no part in there scam!
