Royal Mystery Shoppers
Scam ripoff

I was contacted by Royal Mystery Shopper wanting me to do some Mystery Shopping for them in my area. I was out of work at the time and thought it was a good way to make some extra cash. They sent me my first assignment Fedex.

I opened it and found a check enclosed for $2, 000 and I followed the instructions to go to take the check to the bank and cash and then preceed to a Moneygram location and mystery shop their customer service by sending the money as instructed in the letter. I did as instructed and went to my bank to cash the check. I let them know this was my first time doing this and I wanted to make sure it was a good check.

So my bank called the 800 number on the check and they approved. So my bank wrote down the approval number and cashed it. They also told me they have to call on checks like those anyway because they have so many counterfeits. But guess what it didn't matter that called because this check was counterfeit anyway. The next day after finishing my 1st assignment I received another check via Fedex for $3, 000. I also did this assignment.

To my surprise the next week I got a statement from my bank and they charged these checks totaling $5, 000 back to my bank account. I went and explained to them that the teller called and got an appoval code and they said that didn't matter there was nothing they could do.
Not only did I not have a job, I now had to come up with the $5, 000 to put in my account to get it out of the negative. So I am now having to make monthly payments on a $5, 000 loan that I have nothing to account for.

If anyone can offer me any insight on this or motivation, please do so. PLEASE DON'T FALL FOR A SCAM LIKE THIS LIKE I DID!
