Received a letter and check for $1950.11 (via Chase Bank) to be a secret shopper at my local Walmart and to be cognizant of their customer service in the Money Gram department. 

Knowing that my local Walmart sucks, I was very much interested in completing this survey and returning the evaluation to Travis Dwyer and Franklin Munson in Arlington, Texas (even though the priority mail was addressed from a Louisiana business).

I inspected the check and noticed there was no watermark, although the back read there were several security features on it. 

I looked up the address of the company printed on the check (Business Complete Solutions) and found that they were a legit establishment since 2002, and even had a credit rating of A+ with the Better Business Bureau. They even have a Facebook account with recent posts!

I contacted Chase Bank, who gave me the run around and hit a dead wall, so I attempted to contact the FTC. After getting annoyed with the length of time it was taking to fill out the compaint (lol, yes I was impatient, so what, sue me), I decided to contact Business Complete Solutions on my own.

When I called them, the lady verified that it was the correct company name, and address, but not that they participated in any research or secret shopping. She then proceeded to tell me that I was the 7th caller for the day to verify the check that was written for secret shopping.

If I could, I would send these scammers on a wild chase for the money right into the hands of the law waiting on them at the Walmart in Texas LOL.

Hope this helps a few of yall! The previous ripoff reviews I read just now gave me the courage to write my own. I had a good laugh, but I could have really used that money as well LOL! Back to the lottery and scratch-offs I go!
