:rotfl: Do they want you to transfer money to them and then they will refund it to you? Sounds liek a good scam :eek:. It's lucky you spotted it and used false details although I think you would have smelled a rat when they asked you to give them money :rotfl:

This is what they sent me, I've not actually read it, I saw Western Union & didn't bother with the rest of it. Now I have, the initial email didn't have spelling checks & was written far better than this one.
Anyone want to earn £200?

Your first assignment will be to run a survey on a prominent company in your area, which is a Western Union Location/Outlet around you. This will be disclosed to you prior to your assignment day.

Western Union is a company that helps in providing for one's loved ones almost anywhere in the world. Whether it is for education, healthcare or groceries, They offer Consumer-to-Consumer Money-Transfer Services to get resources to members of one's family quickly.

The management and staff of Western Union has reported a lapse in the services of their Management and some of their staffs.

Their complains were based on reports which their customers forwarded anonymously and phone calls which were also made to the head office.


The Western Union location was reported for evaluation for the following reasons :

1) Customers have reported their money missing
2) Slow services
3) Unbalanced exchange rates
4) Poor services
5) Rudeness to customers
6) Excess charge
7) Late opening time and Closing before the specified time.


Your Secret Evaluation would be

1) To make a fund transfer from this Western Union location to a fellow Mystery Shopper in the USA, Europe, Africa, Asia or anywhere in the world.
We will prescribe the country you will be sending the funds to afterwards. The funds will be picked up by another mystery shopper based at the exact location Which a customer reported her funds missing from.

2) You will have to record the time at which you got to the location and the duration of the transaction.

3) We will transfer the required funds which you will need to carry out the assignment into your specified bank account.

3) Upon receiving the funds, the locations address will be emailed to you and also the name and address of the Mystery Shopper the fund transfer would be made to. You will have to keep a comprehensive report on every activity you carry out.

4) You will also provide us with the name of the cashier that attended to you.

As a reminder: This is an important assignment and every activity of Mystery Shoppers remains a secret between you and your employees. As the company reserves the right to every documentation and information which you gather on behalf of the company.


Please provide the following information in order to receive the funds needed to carry out your assignment :

Your Banking Institution's Name :
Your Account Holders Name :
Your Account Number (8 Digits) :
Your Sort Code (6 Digits) :

Upon receipt of this information, the funds will be transferred to your bank account and all further information/instructions required to carry out your assignment will be made available to you.

Note that your current fee of "200 pounds" will be included in the transferred funds.

A swift acknowledgement of receipt of this email will be appreciated.

Not really - they're consistent. They say they'll pay around the 20th the month after you complete an assignment. You just have the unluck of having carried out an assignment right at the start of a long month!



Are you sure about that? It doesn't at all sound like them. They only started commenting and grading reports in late March - before that the only noticeable difference would be that a job went from "completed" to "received". Generally I've found react pay up pretty quickly.

Yes I'm sure - its just sat there where others are gradually moving to pending payment and some from same day have been paid - I haven't chased yet just wanted to see how their system works...

Yet other more simple reports (eg phone calls) have been graded and pay pending... strange

I'm just rushing off to supply all my personal data and bank account information (I will probably include my pin number - just to be helpful of course!) :rotfl::rotfl:

The really sad thing is that some very desperate people do get conned by these type of scams.. hopefully shut down soon

I had one with react that sat for 8 weeks. It was a closed shop, and I was giving up on it. I sent an email on the chance that it would be paid. Got a apologetic replay and instant payment, outside normal pay runs - give them an email, you never know!

Well the fee is £200 - that's better than anyone pays! :rotfl:Let us know how you get on! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

A lot of people are now savvy enough to not pay upfront, as they aren't asking for a fee, people will get sucked in.

How has anyone got on with airside M/S jobs ?, I have been sitting in a Luton Travleodge for the past 2 days after my first EasyJet flight was cancelled and now the second, I am not going to wait any longer, my ski trip was only for 4 days and I am not going all that way for just 1 day on the slopes ( if I even get that) but I had picked up some airside jobs and was quite suprised at the response I got from both M/S companies when I phoned to change the dates, both seemed a bit put out with GR implying I had left it to the last minute before telling them and RE expecting me to at least try to do it.

Don't these companies realise the shops are CLOSED anyway :mad: and it is not exactly the m/s ers fault the volcano blew it's top off.

I went to the airport yesterday to get a refund and when I enquired about the airside shops, I was told they were all closed until 2 hours before check in of the first flight out.

Losing the holiday is bad enough, but to get a telling off from the m/s company is really taking the P. :mad:
