Got text on my Cel abjout a job that pays $400/week for mystery shopper from this number and email contact info@magnolisurveygroup.net  So I played along with the scam.  Gave them fake name Wayne Gritskey and they sent cheque for $3600.  I was to keep $400 and wire them through moneygram $3200  They are still waiting for the money.  The cheque had York Condominium Corp on it from CIBC.  So I took to CIBC and they said the chq customer and transit/account # is valid but the chq is fake.  It was a good forgery though!  The contact was Richard Magnoli  and I was to contact him when the transfer took place at 1-514-600-2147  The fake company is Seared Survey Group.  Hope you don't get Seared!

Original Myster shopper text came from this # 1-289-200-8225

Got a text about recruiting mystery shoppers, to email info@confidencesg.com
I sent an email & they replied asking for my personal info. I gave it to them, and then I googled and found scam alerts online.
They send a fake cheque for a large sum and you're supposed to keep $400 and wire the rest back.
The fake company name was Confidence Consulting LLC, and the guy calls himself Ricardo Savoiri or Matthew Saints.

You mean if I receive a text message from that number it is a scam?
