'Mystery Shopper' Scam Targets Richmond Residents
05-18-2007 7:56 AM

(Richmond, VA) -- The Better Business Bureau says Richmond residents are getting ripped off for thousands of dollars in a check cashing scheme. It works like this: A check for slightly more than 35-hundred dollars arrives in the mail, along with a letter telling the recipient they have been selected as a 'mystery shopper.' They are to cash the check at their bank, keeping 850-dollars to do their so-called mystery shopping at Wal-Mart, K-Mart and Sears, and wire the remaining money to 'JBS Consultants.' Of course, the check bounces, leaving the victims who unwittingly cashed it responsible for the entire amount.
