So as the title states, she recieved a cashiers check in the mail after signing up for a secret shopper program for 2500 bucks. In the letter with the check they want her to keep 500 as her payment, and then she has to go to walmart (apparently the place she signed up for) and she has to purchase a few specific real items (not gift cards or anything) from a yellow jacketed service agent. She is allowed to keep everything purchased, she just has to fill out this sheet on a website they gave her and fill out a questionnaire.
It screams scam to me as I went to the website on her old shitty laptop and it looked pretty sketchy. Has anyone seen or heard of this? I don’t know where the scam could be, maybe it comes in later. I Told her just don’t cash the check so she at least doesn’t get hit with any fees. It’s not worth the risk, but also there is nowhere asking for anything back or any money back so I don’t know how the scammer could make out with anything unless they are literally just trying to screw people into check bounce fees.
