This is a Mystery Shopper Scam. You will be be asked to provide a mystery shopper service on a money transfer agency. The mystery shopping will involve sending a sum of money (in the '000s) and commenting on the quality of the service. You will either be sent a fake cheque to cover the amount that you are to transfer, or you will be told that you will be reimbursed on completion of the job. Either way it is a scam and you will lose the money that you sent.

Legitimate Mystery Shopping companies do exist. However, they would not blindly email people offering them jobs and they also only ask you to spend small amounts of money ($10 or so), which they will reimburse you.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
