GATEWAYEVALUATIONSERVICE SCAM, First check $1000, second check $2500. They send you bad check to work as mystery shopper, send most of the money via Money Gram to Canada. The checks are bad, you will have to pay back to your bank, WATCH OUT!!!! Very bad for someone who is unemployed... Richmond Hill Ontario

I received an email saying the company is looking for mystery shoppers. I filled out an application online and after about 2 weeks they responded back that they have chosen me as regional Customer Service Evaluator. I received in the first envelope a check for $990.00 along with Time Card sheet and Customer Satisfaction Evaluation sheet. And each assignment had a different Rep ID# (C.S.E. 3 digits).
I was told to cash the check and go to any Walmart store posing as someone who is going to send money to a relative in Canada. In the letter the amount of money is being broken down as follows: $100 pay for my work, $20 for service charge by Money Gram, and the rest of the sum ($870) should be transferred.
I deposited the money and waited for 3 business days , making sure the check is not bad. After the check was "cleared" on my account I started the assignment.
Then they sent me another envelop rushed via Express Service. The assignment was exactly as before, with the exception of: different Walmart, different Rep ID# and different sum in the check ( $2500).
While I was waiting for the second check to clear(on the 2nd business day), I received a letter from my bank that the first check had not sufficient funds... (My bank told me it is a courtesy of the bank to me as customer to release the amount in advance even though the check has not cleared yet).
Well, I have tried to move intelligently and cautiously, but in dire economic times like this when you are enemployed it is easy to get hasty and make rash decisions...
