This is an article written by a victim of the secret shopper scam.
The victim responded to a secret shopper ad on craigslist and was sent USPS Money orders and told to cash them and wire them back to the scammers. The victim was then told to review a Western Union facility.
As you may expect the money orders turned out to be fakes and now the victim is responsible for paying the money back.
This is not the first time I’ve heard of this scam but it is the first time I’ve heard of Western Union being used as the go between.
Remember, if it involves wiring money anywhere for whatever reason it’s almost guaranteed to be a scam.
Whos saying what?
