The email messages are fraudulent, therefore, recipients of the same email messages should not respond to them with their personal information or any other information that is requested by the senders. The fake email messages are being sent by scammers/cybercriminals. The victim of this scam will be provided with a fake or counterfeit check (cheque) and is advised to cash it and then asked to use some of the proceeds to do some form of mystery shopping. Also, the victim may be asked to take part in surveys or other promotional services. But, the counterfeit check will bounce and the victim who cashes the check will be held responsible for the money lost in the transaction and any additional fees imposed by his or her bank. They may even get arrested for fraud.Remember, never send your personal information to anyone in an email message or send money to someone who contacted you via unsolicited email messages.The Fraudulent Mystery or Secret Shopper EmailWe are a company engaged in the mystery shopper field.Currently we are in desperate need of a secret team to evaluate the service at our branches.to conduct business be it a restaurant, shopping store etc.#REQUIREMENTS#1] 16 year old or above, Can speak local language well2] No experience needed like shoppingJobs-pay ~1.
