    Hi, this is my first post on this forum so please bear with me.

    I was looking for part-time work on the internet and came across an ad for mystery shoppers. I am already signed up to a few companies but had never heard of this one so I applied.

    I got an e-mail from them this morning saying I had been accepted and my first job was in my inbox.

    I duly logged on and it was a job to do with my main current account. This company Cherry Shoppers wants me to give them access to my current account via internet banking (I can withdraw all of my money first) so that they can do some transactions on my account, and they are willing to pay me £245 for 3 days access to my bank account.

    Needless to say this rang alarm bells straight away.

    Has anyone heard of Cherry Shoppers?

    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
