A mystery shopper assigment came through a message on linkedin from a former VP of HR I knew from a previous job. I do have 100% on this person.
Yesterday O found out, this VP HR linkedin account was hacked, and some fake identity was the one who contacted me.
The assigment was to evaluate service level and customer purchasing experience at an Apple Store.
They sent a check to cover the expenses on buying 3 iPhones. The checks I deposit in my bank were accepted, although 4 days later my bank called to indicate the checks were put on hold, and that clearly this people from Shopreporter were committing fraud.
I went to the police and requested an official report.
Theres probably nothing else I can do.
Have you ever had a similar experience?
