I Almost Fell For This Scam Targeting Missoulians
I nearly fell for a scam and I m not even mad at them, because that s what scammers do, I m mad at myself for not catching on right away. I m typically very detail oriented and can spot a scam and/or spam a mile away, but since they were texting Dave s phone, I would glance and not really give it a good look. So here s how it went down.
Last month, Dave gets a text addressed to me
saying a Whole Foods is coming to Missoula (and they said my name and Missoula specifically) and would I like to be paid to be a secret shopper. I thought maybe they hit up Dave s number instead of mine since his is a 406 number and mine is not. And it seemed totally legit to me, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. So I clicked the link, the website and questionnaire it took me to absolutely looked like a legitimate Whole Foods website. I answered some questions about my recent shopping experiences and they said I would earn $500 for a 20 minute shopping
