    Shopper Alert!
     
    Have you received a letter in the mail claiming to be from our company? If yes, this is a Fraud - read on...

    We have been notified that some fraudulent letters & checks have been sent to individuals using the Nationwide Services Group, Inc., name and address. Phone & fax numbers and bank information is incorrect.  

    They pose as representatives of mystery shopping companies and attempt to persuade their targets that they want to engage them as mystery shoppers. Using highly sophisticated ploys, the scammers convince their victims that they will receive checks that they are to deposit in to their checking accounts, then wire most of the money to someone else.  Victims deposit the check and wire the money, as instructed, discovering later that the check was counterfeit and that the victim is liable for all the money sent from his or her bank. Consumers receive a large-sum check, typically between $1,000 and $5,000.

    They are asked to evaluate the service at a variety of stores and wire a portion of the money back to the sender while also evaluating the wiring service. Consumers are told to keep a portion of the money as payment.
    The name of a real company usually appears on the check as well as real account information. The forgery of the check is discovered a few days after it is deposited, and the consumer is held responsible for the entire amount of the check.

    Mystery shopping is a valuable tool used by some of the largest retailers, restaurants and banks to understand and enhance the experience they provide to customers. However, it is not a quick and easy way to make a large sum of money and receive ?freebies.? The MSPA has developed the following tips for those interested in becoming a mystery shopper:

    * Prospective shoppers do not have to pay a fee to become a mystery shopper. Shoppers should be extremely wary of any mystery shopping offer that requests a fee.

    * Visit the MSPA Web site (www.mysteryshop.org/shoppers) for a list of reputable mystery shopping companies and opportunities. Contact the companies directly, not the MSPA, for more information on how to become a shopper.

    * Be patient. It takes time, sometimes months or even longer, to be contacted with an offer to conduct a shopping assignment.

    * Be cautious of opportunities that offer large sums of money for simple tasks like cashing a check or wiring money. A typical mystery shopping evaluation will earn about $8 to $20. If an assignment sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
