The Atlantic Police Department is warning the public of a recent scam that has entered the area. If you receive a flyer from MarketResearch.com in reference to a secret shopper program at Wal-Mart, it is a scam.  This has been found to not be a legitimate business so their correspondence should be disregarded.

The scam asks people to participate in a secret shopper survey for the local Wal-Mart store and then use the MoneyGram Transfer service to send money back to the phony company. The instruction letter tries to make victims believe that the wire transfer is just a part of the evaluation process.  The scam promises participants $300 in compensation which comes in the form of a phony check.

Once again if you receive this proposition from this company please disregard.
