Walmart is not looking to hire secret shoppers and it's certainly not sending any checks for nearly $2,000 to do it.
Charles Gouge, of Gaston County, got one of those checks in the mail.
He wondered why the scammer chose him and how many other people in the Charlotte area have gotten the bogus job offers and fake checks.
"Nobody likes to pass up on a check that's sent in the mail to you," Gouge said.
Action 9 investigator Jason Stoogenke is investigating the scam for Eyewitness News starting at 5 p.m.
