Fraud Alert!
Recently it has come to our attention that a third party has been using the PermissionResearch name and logo on fraudulent checks for “mystery shopping,” “secret shopping,” or “Customer Service Evaluator” assignments. Please be aware that PermissionResearch does not run a mystery shopping program and is not responsible for these mailings. This is a scam and should be reported to your local law enforcement agency or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Consumer Response Center at http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/contact.shtm.
