We've clearly been wasting our time with all these other companies....

We are hiring

Our Stores need to be evaluated and rated.
No experience needed, just an honest opinion.

The job requires you to shop and evaluate the services and the employees.
You will get paid to shop and you can keep the products.

You will be paid with amounts between $200-400 per assignment.

Reviewers are selected randomly every week and if selected, they will be contacted via phone or email.

What instructions are provided for "signing up"?

Hard work builds character and homework is good for your soul.

A link, which I didn't want to click on... but you can see why some people fall for scammers, the address looks legit.

The date/time as shown in the fabulous opportunity hasn't even occurred yet. It is only 10:28 a.m. Eastern right now, yet this email purports to have been written by Kroger representatives on 02/05/20 at 1:20 p.m., so, unless this incredible opportunity is coming from somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean...it did, however, provide a momentary good laugh.

Those were my very first thoughts also!! Dead giveaway when the time posted is several hours AHEAD of our time....that shows that it's from some foreign country, overseas. For instance, Britain is 6 hours ahead of us. So who knows WHERE this came from!!
**If anyone happens to know the REAL MSC that does Kroger shops, maybe that person could forward this to them. They might like to know about it.**

Isn't it odd that people still fall for scams like this? Love your sarcasm, LOL.

Funniest thing is that if you live in EST, most of Europe is 6 or more hours ahead of us.

I'm more curious as to what the actual scam is..... Going to Kroger and shopping isn't the actual scam. Is it the typical gift card trick or something else?

Sarcasm is my middle name! Thank you!

Oh, yes, I do think it's the typical scam...they want someone to go to Kroger and buy gift cards. Just a wild guess, LOL.

Phu, you call that an opportunity???? I got a check for $2500. All I have to do is shop ANY STORE in my area, spend up to $500, and send them the rest of the $2500. I'm not even held down to one particular store. Lucky me. Lucky, lucky me.

I think if I'd clicked on the "sign up" link, they would have required my credit card or something. This is more a classic phishing scam than an ms scam...

My fake check was only $1900!

I feel slighted.

And if they can harvest SSN or other identity tidbits along the way, that's a marketable product too.
