The letter goes on to say there is a probationary training assignment which the victim is required to complete within forty-eight hours. In the letter it states shadowshopper.com will pay the victim $100.00 an hour and tells the victim which stores they are to go to.
This particular letter says to go to Sears and Wal-Mart and pose as a customer shopping and sending a money gram to a relative. With the letter comes a check made payable to the victim.
The letter gives a breakdown of how the funds are to be handled. This letter states $200.00 for their pay; $3,300 to be wired: $120.00 money gram service fee; and $200.00 to be used to purchase whatever they want from the store they are supposed to shop.
The victim takes the check to their bank and deposits it into their account. They wire the money to another state, and keep whatever the letter says for them to keep. A few days later, the victim's bank notifies them stating the check was bad. This information is being released as a public advisory only.
