Another Form of Mystery Shopping Scams
The email says "Paid Surveyors", but the content indicates a 'shopping experience'. Now you might ask "Why is this a scam? There are legitimate mystery shopping companies. Right?"
Yes, there are, but this is not one of them.... and how do I know? It's pretty simple. No legitimate company sends funds BEFORE the work is done. No legitimate company sends out bulk emails. No legitimate company uses a free email account. And NO legitimate company representative would start out with a 'pardon' or concern about my mindset. That's just goofy !
=PLS READ CAREFULLY, THIS MIGHT BE THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE EVER=
