Secret Shoppers - Helping You Part With Hard Earned Cash

Picture this…
You are in need of some extra money now. The income that you have is fixed and will not increase. The pension money seems to be shrinking with the costs in the community rising.

What would you do to make extra money?

Now suppose that an email arrives from somewhere that you do not know – but the AV program allowed it through – so no virus.

As you click through the info seems too good to be true. They are going to pay you money for Shopping at a local store. In fact you will be able to decide which store you would like to shop at to buy real goods that you need, keep the receipt, and with that proof you will be paid REAL MONEY.

You are assured that it is not a scam – and there are testimonials on the Web Site that assure you that it is real and the wonder of how much they have made with this Secret Shopper offer. Some testimonials show that you can make even more than the minimal amount of $200 for one shopping spree.

Yesterday John Doe arrived in my driveway rather excited. He was holding a real UPS Envelop. From it he withdrew a REAL CHECK for $2520.00 US Dollars. His name is on the check and it is too good to be true.
John told me that he has completed part of the venture so far. He has bought the required $50 worth of goods at Wall Mart and has the receipt. He has made note to the treatment he has received at Wall Mart. Now the next step was required.

Step Two – He had to cash the $2520.00 check at his bank – depositing it to his account. He could wait the required days for the check to clear before doing step three.

Step Three – He needs to take from that amount a $200 fee for himself, any gas costs that he incurred in his purchase and then send the remaining $2200 US dollars to an account in Britain via Western Union.

Step Four is then possible – another shopping adventure with more money arriving from the Kelly Anderson Associates in VA 22314 – who are shown as “Management Consultants and Business Coaches & Consultants” in the 411 USA search.

As you see it explained this way I am sure that you can see through the scam. But when you are alone in your own home, without others to talk to you may well see the great advantage the way that John Doe did… and take Steps Two, Three and even Four before the police come calling.

My friend John Doe has actually been in jail already and doesn’t need any more trouble.

The police told John and me that if we had gone through with this they would have been called by the bank to inform them of the fraud that John had been trying on them and the loss of $2200 dollars.

The police also told us that this kind of scam is also linked to the Terrorist Groups operating out of an Islamic Country in Africa and England. Involvement in scheme in effect puts you into the support of Terrorism… which is also a crime in Canada and the USA.

Imagine ripped off for $2200 dollars, charges laid by your own bank, arrested by the police and then potentially charged again for supporting terrorists.

John shook a little was we found out the information that was presented.

“Am I ever glad I called you Murray.” John said. I agreed and told him that I was glad that I had not taken the bait either with the emails that I get – about 15 per day.

I write this today to add to the list of Internet Information about the way that Scams are being conducted.

Now – however – if you really want to help someone that needs help…have I got a deal for you. You will give me a check for $5000 dollars now. You then wait until I deposit it. I will then fix my car with the money, buy two tickets for Florida with a holiday package, drive to Toronto to get on my flight, and then send you a post card from Florida. And in the card I will say “Thank You So Very Much” and even add a “God Bless You!!!!”

Now I know that it isn’t original in that another TV Evangelist does this regularly – but that is another Scam that I will save for another day.

For goodness sake but your check book away and stop thinking stupid. Please read these links below!
