Important information

• Additional Info:

  The BBB has received reports from consumers which state this company is claiming to offer mystery shopping services. Consumers inform the BBB they have received checks from the company and received instructions to cash the checks, spend the money at different locations - purportedly as a mystery shopper - and then wire back a portion of the funds to the company. This request to have consumers wire back funds is an indication the offer is fraudulent and the 'job offer' is not legitimate. Consumers are advised to either shred the checks they receive or report them to the U.S. Postal Inspector at www.uspis.gov.
  
  Consumers interested in legitimate mystery shopping job opportunities should keep the following in mind:
  
  * Be suspicious of jobs that require wiring money. As a general rule, never wire money to someone you don't know.
  * Research a company on bbb.org before accepting any job with them.
  * Visit the Mystery Shopping Providers Association website at mysteryshop.org/ for a list of reputable mystery shopping companies.
  * If a check seems questionable, request a bank employee evaluate the check before depositing it in an account. What usually happens in cases where fraud is involved is that the check seems to clear and consumers wire money to the scammers, as they are instructed to do. Within a matter of days, the check bounces and victims are out any money they wired away.
