WARNING!! SCAM Alert!!

If you have received a Secret Shopper start-up package in the mail... DO NOT wire any MONEY... DO NOT deposit the check.

Search4Shoppers.com is not sending out this start up package. We never send anything out by postal mail. We are in no way affiliated with this operation.

Apparently they are putting our website address at the top of their letters so that their intended victims will come to our site and think that it is a legitimate offer. It is not!

We have received numerous e-mails from people that have already lost thousands of dollars only to have the checks bounce.

The "official" checks are drawn on KBR Heritage Federal Credit Union and issued by Intergrated Payment Systems Inc. If you call the toll free number on the check they will tell you the funds are available; they are not!

Not only are they using my website name but the are using the name of the real Intergrated Payment Solutions Inc. (IPS) I have called the real IPS. They informed me that they do not issue checks for Heritage Federal Credit Union and that the toll free number on the checks is not theirs.

It appears these scammers are working out of Canada. The phone number they have been giving in their start up packages have a 204 area code. One of the intende victims below actually received a call back from a 514 area code. All of the phone numbers they have been providing are out of Canada and the carriers are cell phone companies.

Below is a list of the people who have e-mailed us about this scam. Some of them have already lost $3000 or more and some are people that have contacted us to make sure everything was legit before they wired any money.

Some of these people have contacted their local police departments as well. The best thing to do is to contact the Federal Trade Commision (FTC). If enough of you do this these scammers may get caught and some monies returned.

I have spoken with some of you. Please feel free to contact eachother to share notes, information, etc. to assist authorities.
