David Allen is a scammer. He uses an email [email protected]/ He offers a mystery shopper job and asks for a fee of $400. He'll give you a job even if you refuse to pay him $400. But He wants his $400. Let there be no doubt about it. He sends you a fake check of about $4000. He sent me a check of $3920.20 through a girl who lives in Brooklyn. The girl used UPS Overnight service but used a fake name and a stolen Account number. The check was a Cashier's check bearing the name of Sharefax Credit Union in Atlanta. The bank said that the check is fake. (I'd to fax a copy of the check to the bank). The bank says that lots of people are sending copies of fake cashier's checks. I was supposed to cash the check and wire $400 to David Allen. I was supposed to keep $400 as my pay for one week, I could keep %500 if I finish the assignment before five pm the day I got the check and wire the balabce to one Harshvardhan Dharmshi in California. The address is fake. But you do not need the address to wire the money if you use a Question and an Answer,

So if you get a Mystery Shopper job and are asked to wire the money to any body before the check is cleared you'd be a fool to do it. You'll loose very heavily. My reply to David Allen was a counter Scam. I told him I was a banker and some body died leaving $50,000,000 in his account. I wanted him to wire $260,000 to my Lawyer (I always use Qyestion and answer mode) and I gave him his city and country. $260,000 is my standard fee. This what I ask from people who try to scam me. I've never heard from them again.

Like if some body asks me to work for me cashing checks for him I ask for a three month commission of $30,000 (standard Commission) and he has to wire it. I call it scam the scammer game.
