Yeah, the mystery shopper is quite common, and it does catch many people out. They are usually asked to send a WU payment from a Wal Mart (or similar) and report on how the transaction was handled by the agent.

^^^^ I've seen the mystery shopper emails before in my RL email but never bothered to read them, figuring them to be some sort of phishing scam.

Well, maybe I can tell them that the agent was snotty and I decided not to send the payment.

^^ Good one! Laughing

Knowing your check background, you'll be glad to know that these boys are essentially just check scammers. They will send you a one grand check (thereabouts) and you have to do one of two things: (1) Send 80% straight back via WU in a Wal Mart store or.... (2) Buy a few bits and bobs in Wal Mart, and then WU the remainder back.
Of course, you'll never get to that stage, so just enjoy recieving the checks... you've been missing a trick with the mystery shopper scam! Smile

It would be an interesting modality if the first Wal Mart they want to send me to is where I (my character, that is) was caught shoplifting, and I've been banned from going back there.

The latest.

Quote:
Dear M0rtimer Sn3rd ,

Hello
Thanks for your email and i understand your question as well, the reason why you needed a representative in your country is due to the high tax rate of 25% by the governments newly imposed policy on all overseas bank wire transfers/ business transactions. So we have opted to use representatives, thereby paying 10% and also the charges of transfer by western union.
That way we would be saving 10% of the Governemt imposed tax of 25%. I hope you understand.
Thanks,


I was ready for this. I've seen them use that modality before. Well, here's mine:

Quote:
Dear Phil!p,

Well there is a problem with bank transfers that you may not know about. Effective November 1, there are reporting requirements from my state government regarding overseas bank transfers due to concerns about money laundering, drug trafficking, and terrorist finance. You will need to get a register your company with our state police, and obtain a certificate of compliance from them. This process will take about three weeks and their may be a fee for this.

Why don't you have your customer send me a check or a money order? I don't have to report those, unless the check was issued more than 90 days priort to receipt.

Besides, I'm not sure it's a good idea for me to be putting sensitive bank account information in the email. I'm worried about hackers.

regards,

M0rtimer Sn3rd


I really shouldn't be writing them after a few beers late at night. "You will need to get a register your company". Cheese Louise. That almost sounds like ladspeak.

Time for another beer, and another letter to another lad. Laughing

^^^ I thought about mentioning them in my reply, that I had been reading about them in the paper, but I need to straight bait him at first.

Once I've set the hook, then other things start happening.
