Received a letter and check for $1950.11 (via Chase Bank) to be a secret shopper at my local Walmart and to be cognizant of their customer service in the Money Gram department.
Knowing that my local Walmart sucks, I was very much interested in completing this survey and returning the evaluation to Travis Dwyer and Franklin Munson in Arlington, Texas (even though the priority mail was addressed from a Louisiana business).
I inspected the check and noticed there was no watermark, although the back read there were several security features on it.
I looked up the address of the company printed on the check (Business Complete Solutions) and found that they were a legit establishment since 2002, and even had a credit rating of A+ with the Better Business Bureau. They even have a Facebook account with recent posts!
I contacted Chase Bank, who gave me the run around and hit a dead wall, so I attempted to contact the FTC. After getting annoyed with the length of time it was taking to fill out the compaint (lol, yes I was impatient, so what, sue me), I decided to contact Business Complete Solutions on my own.
When I called them, the lady verified that it was the correct company name, and address, but not that they participated in any research or secret shopping. She then proceeded to tell me that I was the 7th caller for the day to verify the check that was written for secret shopping.
If I could, I would send these scammers on a wild chase for the money right into the hands of the law waiting on them at the Walmart in Texas LOL.
Hope this helps a few of yall! The previous ripoff reviews I read just now gave me the courage to write my own. I had a good laugh, but I could have really used that money as well LOL! Back to the lottery and scratch-offs I go!
I received a package USPS priority service after signing up to get more information about being a mystery shopper. It contains a letter letting me know I was a Mystery Shopper for Walmart and gave me instructions on what to do and look out for. They also sent a cheeck for $1950.00 and told me to buy something less then 50 bucks then wire the rest of the money to 2 individuals they listed. Right after I received the package I received a text asking me to contact them when I receive my package to let them know I received it. I text right back and said yes I received it and it is a scam. They text back and said no its not, you signed up. I text back and told them the Real IntelliShop does not send out checks. I didnt here any thing else from them for a couple of days. That text read when was I going to do my mystery shopper assignment. I ignored the text.
I dont recall how i got connected exactly but i beleive I did some surveys online and got an invitation to participate as a Walmart Secret Shopper. I got a text from 949-339-1896 "Walmart survey campaign approved, a survey package with instruction has been mail, Kindly acknowledge this message." I typed ok and then got an message "The survey package is schedule to deliver today or tomorrow, once received, you need to confirm, then read and understand the instruction."
When i recieved the package, there was a check for $1,950.00 Per the letter, i am to go to Walmart and proceed with the evaluation.
"To perform the first part of the evaluation, purchase any item not more than $50. Please note the cleanliness and professionalsim of cashier, aslo speed of transaction...." They also said i needed to complete the second part of the evaluation by utilizing Walmart2Walmart transfer and Money Gram Transfer serice at the same Wal-Mart store. "You will be making a Walmart2Walmart transfer and Money Gram Money transfer of $1,660 ($830 EACH) to our feedback Dept. Info below, Transfer charges of $20.00 included in the check."
(2) Receiver's Name; John Nolateh (2) Houston, Texas 77005
Also they indicated that it was IMPORTANT" to notify them when the package has been delivered by sending an email or text to the below BEFORE depositing/cashing the check.
Letter was signed by Paul Dahl, Task Manager (Market Force Research Int).
there was no additional email or phone for "Paul". There are some extreme red flags going on here. In adidtin, the check the note "BAXALTA NOTELOAN BAXALTAINCENTIVE INVESTMENT PLAN" on top.
Lots of red flags here and looks definitely supsicious.
I believe I did start a survey or something stupid like that. Did not think about anything next thing I know I am getting an evelope in the mail telling me to go to Walmart and spend $20.00 then send them a report back on the emploees there. Then go to the customer service desk and send a money gram for $800.00 and some odd change to the Phillipines. I did none of the above. Got more e-mails from them threatening me with this relevant authorities. I still have the money order and have no plans on cashing it.
I have done severals shops for Intellishop and was never paid, Jen Air and Western Union.
Intellishop listed the shops as paid in my shop log. They claimed, the payments were made to my Paypal account but Paypal has no record. So I called Intellishop to resolved this issue, I was cursed out, told not to call them back and my account closed.
This company is a scam artist. They do not pay shoppers. Repeat, "you will not be paid" but they will pay themselves. The money received from Jen Air And Western Union.
I have reached out to the Marketing departments of Jen Air and Western Union, (Elizabeth Chambers WU Director of Marketing) but they/she have never called or email me back. I am disappointed that Jen Air and Western Union continues to hire Intellishop for their Marketing of products and services. Knowing, shoppers will never be compensated. Why are they supporting Intellishop a SCAM company because of the price is right for Jen Air And Western Union. They save money at shoppers loss.
I will never buy another JEN AIR appliances.I will never use WESTERN UNION for money transfers,or money orders.
They are allowing this fraud company to operate at shoppers expense. The drive, time, gas, and evaluation was time consuming. Western Union required me to do a wire transfer, go back minutes later and requested my money back.
Intellishop is a SCAM company. DO NO SHOPS FOR INTELLISHOP.
Intellishop advertises shops on their site, sassie and others. These companies should not do business with Intellishop.
Furthermore, after, I signed up with Intellishop. I received numerous fraudulent banking emails requested my banking information. Shops from bogus companies to shop.
Emails to deposit and send money to a account.
Intellishop is a SCAM company. DO NO SHOPS FOR INTELLISHOP.
