The fraud centers around a customer service evaluation tool, short for a secret shopper for companies. I received personally two different days, two envelopes containing letter heads from Cvs, Walgreens, Whole Foods stating to deposit fraudulent checks into your bank, receive the money when they clear. Go to these places of employment purchase gift cards, evaluate the workers, keep 500.00 for the job. The 2,500 purchase gift cards take a picture of front and bank send the information to a email address they include. When they initially send the check you are instructed to text them at a certain number. In other words the check takes 2 days to clear you receive the funds, you do the task, only the check is fraudulent so than the person bank wants the money back. By that time it is to late they have the gift cards. Did I fall for it NO but I wanted to report it if I could help deter someone else! The thing I don’t like they have access to my address, cell number that’s it that I know of?
