Is Daily Light Shopper, Inc. real??

June 27, 2008 04:30PM
Was wondering if "Daily Light Shopper, Inc." is real? Received starter info and assignment to shop Walmart, Home Depot or Lowes for $60 and to use Money Gram or Western Union to send money to one of "their people." When the check they sent was presented to their bank we were told that the check had not been "registered yet," and therefore could not be cashed. When we called Daily Light they didn't have an idea what we were talking about but asked us to fax the check to them so they could investigate it, and they would call us back.

Has anyone else out there had experience with Daily Light Shopper and if so was it positive or negative?

Thanks!

Fits perfectly into the category of "Scam" See the Sticky about Scams at the top of almost every section of this forum.

But the name Daily Light Shopper is real. It's the name of a newspaper in Waxahachie, Texas. Someone stole their name.

I'm a highly skilled researcher. Some people are good at comparison shopping, others are internet research nuts.

WEll, I have contacted the name of the company on their check and they have never heard of Daily Light Shopper; and they didn't seem especially worried about me having a check drawn on their bank for almost $4000 either - weird. I know they have a "registration" system with the bank that requires the check to be "registered" or "activated" before the bank will cash it; but if they (the scammers) hit a check that has been registered I'll bet they (IIA) will care then <lol>. Anyway, for those asking about Daily Light Shopping, it's definitely a scam. They eventually told my wife that they have just canceled the check (yeah, right) and when asked why they said, "There's no 'why' with us." Pretty ballsey if you ask me. We'll see what the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police), FBI, Secret Service and US Postal Service think about their "why" when we turn all their info we have over to them. I found another article about them under Google with their fax number and an attempt at using Pentagon Federal employee Credit Union checks.

I have received the same stuff in the mail too, however, I have not done anything with the stuff. the only thing I have tried to do is call the number listed on the top of the letter. I can not reach anyone. So, you have had better luck then me. Maybe, I will have to go to there bank as well and see if I have the activated check. lol I decided to look up the company on the letter and can not find them. I have found the company named on the check though. You think I should call them? I then found this forum. I am glad I did, wow!!! Keep me updated if you find anything else out.
