14 DAY TRIAL // A message that promises the experience of a lifetime by giving users the opportunity to become secret shoppers turns out to be nothing but a 419 scam which gets away with your information and your money.
GFI Labs informs us of a message that reads “SECRET SHOPPING JOB AVAILABLE/URGENT REPLY NEEDED.”
It's supposedly free and you'll even get paid, but after you hand them over your private data and maybe even some enrollment commission, you can be sure you'll never hear from them again.
"We have a mystery shopping assignment in your area and we would like you to participate. Secret Shopper(R) is accepting applications for qualified individuals to become mystery shoppers. It's fun and rewarding, and you choose when and where you want to shop. You are never obligated to accept an assignment,” reads the body of the email.
“There is no charge to become a shopper and you do not need previous experience. After you sign up, you will have access to training materials via e-mail, fax or postal mail.”
Stay away from such scams and treat every offer received by email with suspicion.
