My lady signed up for some marketing survey secret shopper "side gig" thing. Right? So she recieves a check after signing up for about $3,000 and some change with a list of how she is to spend the money and where. She had to call a Canadian number to inform whatever John Doe's name was printed on the letter, that she had recieved the check and was instructed to deposit the check in an account and call back and notify so that they could lift the 'Hold' on the money. So my lady, like a numbnut, deposits the check into my account since she doesn't have one and uses my account for her banking needs since she can't open a regular account for having already been put on collections. She waited a few days as instructed for the cash to clear, and after about 3 failed attempts to have the money cleared, was I charged $45 dollars each time the bank tried clearing the check but never went through. I ripped my lady a new anus for being gullible these kind of scams, especially when I told her before not to when she was first introduced to the idea od "Secret Shopper". That's about it, what about you guys?

I don't trust anything that says "get rich quick" or "be your own boss" or "make 3,000 a day" It is all scam scam scam. If it sounds too good to be true it probablly is. marshmellowman Posted at 4:50 am on Aug. 28, 2008 Nothing, because I'm not stupid enough to fall for any bullshit like that. sosupkthnx Posted at 4:47 am on Aug. 28, 2008 I did a horse for $200 but the ad said $12 million.
