How To Report Fraud at Bustathief.com

I recently rec’d an email from Mystery Shopper company. My contact was a man by the name is James Thames. He contacted me by my hotmail account. I signed up for a bunch of online jobs in the past, but never heard anything back from them. He contacted me and stated that they needed Mystery Shoppers in the area. He stated that there would be no “out of pocket” expense and that they would provide me everything I needed for the job including transportation expenses. He told me I would have a total of 4 assignments and I would be paid a total of $400.

The job was to investigate local businesses. I was going to receive money orders that would be deposited in my bank on my own. I would not have to give up any account information. He stated once I recieved the money orders I was to cash them in at my bank. Use $40 at the local Walmart (on whatever I wanted) and the rest I was going to sent out to another Mystery Shopper so they could carry out their assignment. I was to shop at Walmart and send back a report on the service they provided and the outlook of the store. I was going to take out my pay $300 and then send out the rest while reporting back on the local western union. He was very clear that I had to observe the stores and report back detailed description of my experience.

I did as he instructed. 5 days later I received notice that another assignment was set up for me. They were sending me the money orders and I was going to observe the local money gram locations. I was going to get paid $250. The next day I went to my bank to cash out the money orders and found that my bank rejected the original money orders that I had deposited/cashed. I emailed and text Mr. Thamas and asked what was going on. He called me back and advised that I had to check w/ my bank and in the mean time he asked if I had another bank that I could use to cash the money orders. I told him that I would send any money anywhere until my account was credited for the original 2 money orders (total $2000). I spoke to the branch manager from the bank and explained the situation. She informed me that she called where where money orders were placed from and they stated that the money orders were false (all 5 of them). She also stated that there was nothing they could do about it. I now owe the bank $2000 plus the extra fees. This all happned this morning. Below is the name of the people that I sent the money too.
