Briefly, the assignment was to cash postal money order and complete bank evaluation. Go to Wal Mart and make a purchase. Remaining money order balance less $150.00 fior payment as mystery shopper assignment was to then be wired to Smooth J. Robert in Chicago, Illinois through Western Union Victorville California
I received a Priority mailing envelope at my residence address. Inside was a typewritten one sheet paper with instructions as a Mystery Shopper assignment and a postal money order in the amount of $985.00. The sheet indicated my assignment was to cash the money order at the bank and prepare a bank evaluation to include information of what the particulars of the transaction were. With the case I was to claim $150.00 of that money as my pay for completing the remainder of the assignment. Next, I was to make a purchase from Wal Mart and not to exceed $30.00 for my purchase. The remaing funds were to be wired through Western Union to Smooth J. Robert at 1829 N. Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. The money order was signed by Shawn Conne, 13600 Mica Avenue, Victorville, California. Upon sending the wire transfer I was to pay out of the remaing funds the fee for sending. The typed written sheet which was a part of the directions included a breakdown on what to do with the money and how and where to effect the assignment.
I took the money order to a local bank and opened an account for checking and deposited the total check. The next day I removed all of the funds except fifty dollars ($50.00). When I went online to transfer more funds into the account I discovered my account was debited the money I deposited and was charged a transaction fee.
I am livid. This was a new account I opended and now I owe a fee in addition to the monies I withdrew. I am a Senior Citizen, retired, living on a fixed income and have been scammed. I am extremely upset........................now what?
We received a letter from Dr. Pat Rice who indicated that she was the President of a company called TPROOF SURVEY. She asked us to be a mystery shopper to do an evaluation. She sent by priority mail what appeared to be a US Postal Service money order. We thought since she was willing to send us a $985 money order this was legit. The instructions we were given was to cash the money order or deposit the money order in our bank account and to evaluate the servce we received and report on that. We also were asked to take $30 of that money and buy something at Walmart and report on their service as well and the remaining amount of money which was $805 was to be sent to someone known as Smooth J Robert (obviously an alias).
We tried to cash the money order at two of our banks, cash checking place, and the US Post Office. We were turned down by all these. The post office also was reluctant because the money order we were given was on paper that didn't feel right to them and it was missing the watermark of Benjamin Franklin that you can see when you hold it up the light We would then have been confronted with doing the second option that we were proposed with which was deposit the "false money order" into our bank account and withdrew our own money for the money that was asked of us.
This is exactly what they wanted us to do.I have traced back the IP address of the email that was sent to us and have alerted both the Postal Police and the FBI. If there are others of you who have information that would help track down these perpetrators of this fraud so that they can be brought to justice please send that to the authorities. It's unfortunate that a small few criminals in our society make it bad for legitimate work at home opportunities for the rest of us.
The letter said I had three assignments, one to evaluate my bank by depositing the money order, two to go to walmart and buy 30.00 worth of product and evaluate the service, store and three send the balance 807.00 to geraldine washington 9137 elizabveht lane in washington via western union. I did not but I want to be a good citizen and ensure tht no one gets ripped off in the future.
