SPAM TEXTS PHISHING LINKS SMS SCAM
Lucky for me, I checked this group out. I received instruction sheet and $2000 check. It seemed so real, I first thought it was. Bad news.
Got a FedEx envelope in the mail with the offer from Market Research.com telling me to do a check on MoneyGram at 2 WalMarts in my area and buy a $50 item and take the fee out of the check and keep $300 for myself. It came at a good time, cause I needed some extra cash. So I went to my bank this morning. Bank manager said, Sorry, this is a scam. You cash it and in 3 days you're on the ticket for $2k. He apologized, I said no, thank you, I'll rack it up to another way I've been scammed. Thank you very much. I did send the people a message. I told them to be glad they don't live in my town, or they would be in the hospital right now.

Hi Shellie Singleton,we like you confirm the delivery of the Market Research survey letter that was delivered to your provided address by postal service.This is Mr Torres From Market Research Inc.
Weird and incomplete number randomly texted a link to a secret shopper service website. A bunch of different companies and businesses were mentioned on the page. I assume to make it seem realistic. But when searching the companies and businesses listed, nothing came up in relation to this website or any information about this website or the Retail Secret Shopper was able to be found. Must be a scam.
Email/text got priority mail with assignment along with TFC check
everything on the check, checked out as far as I could verify.
TFC is not open on weekends.
As careful as I was to avoid a scam they got me anyway.
I can honestly say I HATE PEOPLE WHO CAN'T GET A REAL JOB AND HAVE TO SPEND THEIR LIVES RIPPING OTHERS OFF!
Got an email from Researchforces.org ([email protected]) offering to sign me up as Secret Shopper to validate processes at Walmart. Turned out to be a complete scam. Sent fake check and wanted me to cash it and send money back to these scums
