I think I got a scam email

January 17, 2020 08:02AM

I got an email that says "Pick Up Some Easy Internet Mystery Shops It's Not To Late" It has Informa colors and logos, but the email address is weird, and it wants a copy of my credit report to assign shops.

Did anyone else get something like this? Is it a scam? Did I miss out?

What is the email address?

There are Informa shops that require a copy of just your credit score, from a specific site. That site does NOT supply the credit report.

That said, although Informa is among the very best MSCs, always be sure that you are dealing with their real site. [www.sassieshop.com]

Scam. I'm glad you did not fall for it.

Well, that is a valid alternative email address for Julius. I don't know what the auth.ccsend.com is, though?

Also, Informa schedulers DO send out emails asking for a screenshot of your credit score. I have participated in these shops several times.

I have also.

Hi everyone! That's my email address, My name is Julius Wolf and I'm a scheduler on behalf of Informa. The mystery shop notification you received is valid and not a scam. You are welcome to contact Informa's mystery shop department directly to verify. Wanted to just reach out and let everyone know. Anyone on this forum know who I am, please feel free to validate me as well. Thanks everyone.

Jackets, maybe you can answer my question. Informa told me I need to sign up with Jobslinger Pro IC, and I don't know what that is or where to start. Can you tell me? I sure would like to do some of the shops my credit score qualifies me for!

Hi ceasesmith, send me an email to julius.c.wolf82@gmail.com and I can assist you with "JobSlinger IC Pro"

And thanks, Kate!

Hello Julius. I have received emails from your alternative address. I attempted to verify this by forwarding it to you at your informars email address which came back undeliverable. Is this YOU? Why then is it now Informa Intelligence rather than Informa Research?

January 29, 2020 01:39AM

Hi Madetoshop, Informa had re-branded. If you would like to verify me, you can actually contact shoppers@informars.com. I'm one of Informa's independent schedulers.
