HARRISBURG, Pa. AP – If you’ve ever wanted to be a secret shopper, or if you need a part-time job paying an extra $500 or more a week, this is not your chance.
Unfortunately, authorities say hundreds of people have fallen victim to a scam in which they think they’re signing up to be “mystery shoppers” – regular folks who are paid to evaluate retailers. Some have lost thousands of dollars after cashing counterfeit checks and wiring money back to scammers, usually in Canada or another foreign country.
