A company, known only by the domain basemethodsurvey.com sent me a letter that include what appears to be a legitimate check for $1899.55. They claim that I can keep $350 of this money and use the rest to be a secret shopper for Walmart. Walmart does not employ any secret shoppers.
The real scam is that you're supposed to send them what leftover money you have after shopping. Then when the check bounces you're on the hook for the whole amount. Walmart has a warning about this type of scam on their website (corporate.walmart.com/privacy-security/fraud-alerts/), and the letter they show looks exactly like the one that I got, except they changed the domain name.
I've contacted the registrar (tucows.com), but had no response back yet.
