With so many people trying to work from home or even just earn a few dollars, I thought I should make note of this scam that's being sent around to people's email addresses.
The email says this:

So how do I know it's a scam and someone isn't being legit? Well first of all, if you click the image I included and enlarge it, you will see even gmail thinks something is funny because they have a warning message that it may not be from who I think it's from.
The next reason: I have not signed up for anything to notify me of mystery shopping jobs. The chances of a legit company contacting a random person (people) to go do a job for them is highly unlikely.
What would probably happen if I were to respond to this would be they would either use my response to capture passwords or information and such --how they do it I don't know. OR they would respond saying there's some sort of fee for whatever reason.
My advice, report these as phishing if you have that option, mark them as spam and never look back or respond. Better safe than sorry right? You're not going to miss out on a legit opportunity.
If anyone knows of legit mystery shopping companies, feel free to share them with us for those who are actually interested.
