Thank God it's Friday... but why is there a check for $985.00 from Compass Bank waiting for me in my mail? Enclosed with the check is a letter from C.S.G.I. informing me I have been selected as a "secret shopper" participant for their company. Who are these Bozo's? The letter that accompanied the check looks very official with all the various brand logos from such well known companies as: Best Buy, MoneyGram, Sears and everybodies favorite... WalMart, as well as several other retail stores.
The letter stated I would receive $200.00 out of the check as compensation for helping with this task. I would first have to deposit, or activate the check, inform the company of said activation and then carry out my assignments which included the following:
I would be required to make 2 $50.00 purchases at local stores, as well as complete a Money Gram transfer transaction in the amount of $635.00 plus a $50.00 transfer fee. I would be allowed to keep the merchandise I purchased from my shopping spree. Wow! Only in America!
I felt the need to ask several questions regarding this "fishy" smelling deal. Gina was the customer service rep who assisted me. I found it quite strange that she became extremely aggitated by my questions. At one point I mentioned her condesending tone regarding answering my questions. Did I mention she had a hindu accent... yeah.
Sorry Charlie... I was born at night... but not last night. I will be turning this over to Ken Amaro of "I'm tellin' Ken" in the Jacksonville, Florida area. I'll just keep calling Gina back to see if I can make her flip her wig and find a legit form or employment.
Beware!
