I used this line for a Google search and had several hits at scam warning sites.
Furthermore, the scammer has somehow managed to hijack the server of the George Washington University
Maybe some of our "professional" warners should alert them.

I have also gotten emails from a Ceasar Cusack in regards to a mystery shopping opportunity. I followed through with the emails, my email came from [email protected] under the name Lattice Surveys LLC. At first I was skeptical and when doing a search for Lattice Surveys LLC there is a real website about mystery shopping that look pretty legit. There is even a page about contacting them with questions. So I sent them an email to verify if Ceasar was part of the company and if it was safe. Sure enough I got an email back from Ceasar saying that he does work for lattice and it is safe and he would be skeptical too in my situation. He wanted to locations of the 3 closest Walmarts, Sears, and Western Union. I initially thought that western union was only going to be evaluated for cashing money orders. Sure enough this morning I got a package from UPS containing 3 counterfeit US Postal Service money orders each at $900 totaling $2,700 in money orders. Shortly fallowed by an email from Ceasar with instructions on the surveys saying to do the surveys at walmart and sears and take your payment all together totaling $490 and then send the rest via western union to Name:GLENN CUSACK City: CEBU State: MANILLA Country: PHILIPPINES Zip: 4200. Which I imagine is his brother. They probably both are operating under fake names they would be stupid to use there real names. He also is using a real number from Seattle 206-201-2269 usually scammers will call you from strange numbers that mask the real number. I notice in the recent emails people have gotten list the company as Lattice Outsourcing LLC probably to cover up any reports on the Lattice Surveys LLC scam intended to come out. I will not cash the money orders and will soon report the incident to the Ic3. Don't fall for this scam, I hope people will get the information needed before fallowing through. If you'd like to verify any fallow up emails you have received from him I would be glad to share what I have.

Thank you for this detailed account, DeStijlian.
And yes, please post the scammer's emails, complete with headers (of course, you need to edit out your personal details).
Especially interesting is their fraudulent website, and with your information, our specialists will be able to kill this site.
As for the counterfeit cheques: If you plan to keep them as a souvenir, take a permanent marker and write "fake" onto them.

Hello,
Received your application. I am happy for the level of interest shown and information supplied. You appear to be a good match for an evaluator with Lattice Surveys. I would like to congratulate you as you've been chosen as one of 20 evaluators for Lattice Surveys LLC. I hope your addition to the fold will bring another edge and an heightened perspective to our surveys.

To begin your Mystery Shopping career, we are going to be evaluating two(2) out of these three(3) businesses to start with, we'll be evaluating:

WALMART STORES INC, SEARS & WESTERN UNION COMPANIES.

These are independent companies being evaluated privately and independent of each other. We're particularly concerned about the customer support, a random customer is treated to, while visiting another WalMart store, Western union location or Sears. As well as the service quality delivered when visited, it does not matter if the business is a stand alone store or a business located within another business. Its the service delivery we are concerned with...

These companies are not the only ones we work with, but I'll be limiting your evaluations to these companies alone for the next couple of weeks. I would like you to find the closest locations of these businesses....

LOCATE THE NEAREST LOCATIONS TO YOU ONLINE.

1. WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER.
2. WALMART STORES.
3. SEARS STORES.

When you find the nearest locations, send me their exact Names, Phone and Address.


These are well known businesses and finding the 3 closest location to you, should only be a matter of minutes when you visit their respective websites. Email me with the 3 closest locations found.

Your first assignment, will be scheduled for sometime this coming week. I will give you a 12-24hour notice before we proceed. At Walmart, you will be required to make a purchase equivalent to, but not more than $50.00 (fifty)


(FUNDS TO EVALUATE WITH WILL BE DELIVERED TO YOUR RESIDENCE IN THE FORM OF MONEY ORDERS ; THESE MONEY ORDERS WILL CONTAIN YOUR PAY, WALMART EVALUATION COSTS AND TRANSPORTATION ALLOWANCE ON THE MORNING OF EVALUATION VIA UPS EXPRESS. YOU WILL HAVE TO CASH THEM TO BEGIN THE EXERCISE/EVALUATION)

I am happy you took the time out to apply for an account with us, it shows the level of commitment you out into the position, but unfortunately only clients with survey projects have access to that area I am ceasar and yes, i do really work for Lattice Surveys LLC and the only reason we do not use the @latticesurveys.com email address is its delivery from record is erratic sometimes into the junk folder. This is no better but offers better service.

And yes you are smart for wanting to look out for yourself, i'd do the same if i were you too.

I look forward to your list of locations to evaluate...

Ceasar Cusack.

Yesterday I received an email from [email protected] with an
attachment for a mystery shopper opportunity and to send my information to

and western union. The person who contacted me info is

It seems pretty legit to me but because the emails are not from a
@latticesurveys.com email it through up a little red flag. I just wanted to
verify that this is from your company and is legitimate. I was also told I
would get the founds via ups express in the form of a money order. I'm not
sure how it could be any kind of scam if it were, I just want to be sure and
safe. Thanks
