I received a letter from Global Test Market out of Stamford, CT to be a mystery shopper and a check in the amount of $3990. This is a scam and they want you to deposit the check and call them back with in 48 hours of receipt of their letter. They want you to first of all go to a Western Union and evaluate their security and efficiency of payment system and send them $3510 of the money from the check I deposited. They also stated I was to go to my local Wal-mart store and purchase $100 store product and evaluate one of the floor workers there. I am so glad I went on-line to research this job before it was to late. I saw that other people were sent the same amount of money and also different amounts of money. What tipped me off was the Western Union assignment to send them back $3510. and instuctions on evaulating their security. This was a very large amoung of money to use in a mystery shopper survey and it isn't valid and if you think it is to good to be true then it probably is. Do not fall for this scam. I also called the second number listed 1-905-781-0234 and looked up the address of this company given which doesn't exist. I did a reverse search on this number and it came back as a cell phone number. I called the first number listed 1-888-621-5587 and asked if they had ever been turned in to the BBB and the person that I spoke to advised that they hadn't. I advised that I thought he was lying to me and that he would be getting turned into the BBB today by myself.

I got the exact same letter and check amount in the mail today. Always remember, If it sounds too good to be true, it is!! No company would have you send a $3560.00 wire from Western Union to evaluate their security and customer service. That is entirely too large of an amount. Also, why would a company send you an unsolicited check for that large of an amount without contacting you before-hand and setting up the job and going over the details first. I feel sorry for all the people out there that have and will fall for this scam!
