I was looking to make some extra money working from home, doing something relativley easy.

One afternoon, I was looking in the local paper and found an ad for mystery shoppers.

I contacted my sister, and we decided to call.

When I called the number and spoke to a representative (aka a scam artist), they made it sound very belivable and ligit.

They told me that they,ve had people do 8-15 stores a day making $30 dollars for every store they mystery shopped.

This was very enticing to hear.

They told me it was very easy to do. When the package comes in the mail (delivered in 1-4 days they told me; lie) all you have to do is take a very easy 20 minute test and then fax it over. As soon as the fax is received you can start.

They so-called mail you these gift certificates to use in the store, you look around the store to see if it is clean and are the employees being curteous to you, ect. ( blah blah blah).

Then afetr that all you do is send in the report that you filled out and they send you your check.

After telling you all of this information over the phone, they proceed to ask you for your credit card number or your checking account information, and it's only $68.90 to get started.

And they told me that you can easily make your money back in a day, as soon as you get the package, but failed to tell me what the $68.90 was for.

So all in all this bogus company has my checking account information, I never received a package, and I'm $68.90 out because of a really good scam.

So if any of you are contimplating this, please don't. I don't want you to get screwed by this just like me and my sister.
