My son applied for the mystery shopper job and used his debit card to pay for the fee. Next thing we know money was disappearing from his account and we couldn'r figure out what was happening until we went to the Bank and it was DRI Surplus Shopper.

Unfortunately, your son probably did not sign up with a mystery shopping company but fell for a scam that posed as a mystery shopping company. Legitimate companies will not charge a fee and, therefore, have no reason to ask for his credit card.

Also, since shoppers are independent contractors and not employees, mystery shopping companies cannot provide training - only instructions regarding what the client is looking for from the visits. If they are offering to provide training they are not a company.

Your best course of action would be to report it to the FBI at www.ic3.gov and to contact your bank and see if there is anything they can do. You might get lucky trying to contact the company directly and have them stop the charges. If it is a scam you probably will never reach anyone there.
