Talking Whole Food Survey Scam

It's a text and then a mailed cashiers check.
1. The property does not exist. I looked it up on 3 different web maps. The name on my envelope is R**** G****e. Address is 5230 Chancery Blvd; Greenwood, IN 46143. Like I said this address does not exist so I am not putting out anyone's personal information.

2. Company's Name was not able to be found anywhere on the internet Whole Food Survey.

3. Mailing came from Los Angeles California
So explain to me why it was mailed from California if this so called business is in Indiana.

4. Maybe the biggest clue--Cashier's Check was supposedly drawn from Fort Bragg Federal Credit Union Federal Crime here maybe because they involved a Federal Credit Union and The Army. Maybe they are going to Face the FBI .

Now in "fairness" they claim to be a Mystery Shopper company. Fine. I love doing mystery shopping and they are an honest program used by many retail businesses. It's a lot of fun if you like to go shopping, eating out, shopping...I see you are getting the picture. Fun!! HoweverNever did I ever receive a check from any business Before I did my job. Now let's be realistic. Have you ever known any business to hire someone, give them a paycheck and tell them now go do your job to earn the money I just gave you??? Does Not Happen.

A mystery shopper spends their own money does what is required and then scans the receipt, sends it to their company and is then Reimbursed and paid whatever their contract was for. Simple.

Went thru this to finish my warning...I was sent a check for $2860.50 and told now go buy W* gift cards for $2500 from 2 different W* stores and purchase a $10 Cashier's Check for the American Cancer Society. This really burned me. My Momma survived cancer 3 times. Don't Never try to defraud the ACS thru me because it Won't Happen!

Well after all this let me add:
1--Called my local Police Department and asked if the needed the information and he said "No -- just destroy it so it cannot be followed thru with someone else because I would have a hard time proving I was not the one that cashed it or paid someone else to cash it since my name was on the check, I would most likely be arrested and charged."
2--Called the Federal Trade Commission and filed a complaint with the Feds!!! They will be looking for these person(s). Gave them the Names, Addresses, Emails, and Phone Numbers.
3--If any of you crooks from this scam are reading this You picked the Wrong Person. I will report you every time you try to use me for your scams.
4--I will tell it like it is -- You Are A Crook and this Is A Scam.

Thank You Quilters for taking the time to read this and please Do Pass It On to everyone you know.

Your Quilting Away Friend, Motley
