• Additional Info:

  The BBB has received reports of a mystery shopper scam in which people receive letters in the mail, accompanied by checks written for large sums of money, inviting them to become paid mystery shoppers. These checks are reported by consumers to be fake.
  
  Scams involving fake checks typically require the victim to deposit a check into their bank account then wire money back to the scammers. Consumers who complete the wire transfer risk losing thousands of dollars to the scammers.
  
  While the check may initially be deposited into the victim's bank account-leading to a false sense of security-the fake check will ultimately be discovered within a couple weeks. The victim of the scam is out whatever money they sent to the scammers and will be responsible for paying the bank back if their account is overdrawn.
  
  Fraudulent letters and checks received via U.S. Mail is considered mail fraud. Mail fraud is a criminal offense under U.S. federal law, and refers to any scheme which attempts to unlawfully obtain money or valuables through use of the postal service. The United States Postal Inspection Service accepts and processes complaints concerning mail fraud. The BBB encourages you to contact the Postal Inspector if you have received the above-referenced correspondence in the mail.
