I just want to let you guy know that SERVICE PROBE, INC. is a fraud, and a scammer company. Please take them out your mystery shopper list. I thought they are leginimate company, but I got scam from them. Lucky I didn't send any money to them. My bank just call me today, and they said the check that I have deposit is a fraud check. Here is the website: ServiceProbe - http://www.pwgroup.com...robe/I got a letter in the mail back in August 6 with a customer service form to fill out. It also had a check in it for $4992.00. It had a phone number for me to call and receive detailed instructions on the the job assignments. It had a breakdown like this too in the letter: Evaluation training + expenses = $350 Wal-Mart Purchase = $50 Gap Purchase = $40.00 Western Union Transfer = $1558 Service Charge by Western Union = $99 Money Gram Transfer = $2835 Service Charge by Western Union = $60

Service Probe themselves are NOT a scam. This scam has been going around for quite some time and the scammers use the names of many different legitimate companies.
NO legit mystery shopping site will send you a check out of the blue for thousands of dollars.
Whenever you apply for a mystery shopping site they tell you upfront how the shops work. Typically, they send you an email, you apply for the shop, if you are chosen for that particular shop you will need to do the training or get the details for the shop, after the shop you fill out your report, THEN if your report is accepted they will send you payment.
Unfortunately, in this case the scammers hijacked Service Probes name but Service Probe is not the scammer. I hope you reported this to Service Probe themselves as well.

I find another person got scam like me in the Rip-off Report.
I recieved a check in the amount of 4992.00 and i called like they told me to and the company told me to deposit the money and wait for the check to clear the following day. I researched the bank that i got the check from and it turns out to be a legit bank but the company itself is not!!! I deposited the check into my bank account and the funds were available immediatly, so i tried to withdrawl money from it and they called the Willamette Valley Bank and they told my bank that it was a scam, and they shredded the check right in front of me. Luckily nothing came out of this as far as legal action against me.
So, when i got home from the bank i tried to call the places i called yesterday and i got no answer for the last 4 hours. I would like to let anyone know that is they recieve a check from Service Probe, Inc. that it is a scam and DO NOT deposit that check and just to get rid of it.
Thank you and be aware,

Thanks, I did alert Service Probe themselves to the problem and this is the email I recieved.. So PLEASE if you get a check saying it is from them PLEASE call or email them so they can try to stop these scammers:
Hi, Connie, Thank you for letting me know about this post. I am aware of this. I have been contacted by six people so far who have received the fake check. Fortunately, none of them had moved forward with the so-called "shop," and I was able to tell them it was fake and did not come from my company. One person has filed a claim with my local BBB. I have responded to that claim and hope it will go no further. I have been trying, with no success, to get copies of the documents and fake checks. No one has been willing to send them to me. Without any of the documents, there is nothing I can do to try to stop the scammers. This person has no tried to contact me. I do appreciate you setting the record straight on your site. Thanks, Christy Nichols -- Christy Nichols ServiceProbe P. O. Box 4362 Chattanooga, TN 37405 423-443-8602 Phone 423-265-9144 Fax ServiceProbe strongly supports MSPA Certification.
