I, Mavis, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “Mystery Shopper Inc®”:
Now this is a bit of a classic as Secret Shopper is a legit business based in the USA, but IF you click on the link as it stands in your e-mail you will be taken to a compromised page on a New Zeland based web site for a business called Machinetech.
