On Monday (8/1/2021) I received a package in the mail for a mystery shopper assignment. I've done mystery shopper assignments before so I didn't think twice about it. I was given a check to deposit in the amount of $3,576.45. I waited 48 hours to be sure it was deposited into my checking account. After it was deposited they asked me to purchase 3 blank money orders for $1000.00 each from my local post office. I did as instructed and then mailed the money orders to the address listed. 2 days after I mailed the money orders, the check they wrote me was returned and I was out $3000. Today (8/6/2021) I received another check from the same company for $8,800.00. I took the check to the bank listed on the check ************* and asked to cash the check. They informed me there was no money in that account. They told me to contact the BBB to get reimbursed and file a complaint about this company. I have pictures documenting everything.
