It started as doing surveys online. I was told I qualified to be a Walmart secret shopper. I was emailed by contact: Frank Lee Task Manager (Intellishop Research Int) in Cedar TX the Company’s to verify my address and I would be mailed material on the secret shop. I thought it was legit. I got mail within days with a cashier’s check with my name for $1,230.34 and instructions to call/email him once I got the money and deposited it in my account. Once cleared to go to Walmart buy up to $40 in items of my choice and to do an evaluation on the cashier that helped me along with the store presentation, cashiers name and greeter in front of the store. Then to go to the walmart2walmart transfer service and transfer $920 + $20 the fee to transfer to a Jason Talbot in Atlanta Ga, 30349. I was told to keep the remaining $250 as my compensation for my participation in the evaluation. I needed to do the survey within 2 days or I would be disqualified from doing any other secret shops. And to email the receipt of the items and money transfer. I did not cash that check, he emailed me the day after I got the mail to verify I got the mail/check. Although I was not scammed out or gave money to them this definitely a red flag. A scam or fraud.
