    Mystery Shopper Email Scam

    Posted by scamblock-official on April 4, 2021 at 5:07 am

    Now that everyone is indoors due to this corona-virus, you could rest assured scammers are beginning to target people looking to make extra money through online shopping. They prey on people’s boredom, looking for ways to steal from individuals who are on their devices and who are perhaps catching up on their unread emails. This is indeed the perfect time to go through all your junk and inbox emails to make sure you haven’t missed out on anything important and that you reply to people who have yet to hear from you.

    Mystery shopping is indeed a legitimate side job, but they would generally never contact you randomly by email. They would only send you an email once you have already corresponded to them on the phone. Please keep this in mind. Usually agencies offer mystery shopping jobs. And beware of how much they are offering to pay you. DO NOT send them any personal info that is required for the job. Be safe as you go through your email. While you are doing that, please take a look at this example of a mystery shopper email that you may receive. If you have any concern, get in touch with us to vet them for you.

Domain Blacklisted: No

In computing, a blacklist, disallowlist, blocklist, or denylist is a basic access control mechanism that blocks all malicious elements (email addresses, websites users, …)

Suspended Site: No

When your website account is suspended, it means the hosting provider has temporarily taken it offline. Website hosts often suspend websites for a myriad of reasons ranging from malware to spam.

Email (MX) Configured: Yes

Verification that the website has its entity’s proper IMAP (Inbox) and SMTP (Outbox) mailbox servers configured correctly.

DMARC is an open email authentication protocol that provides domain-level protection of the email channel. DMARC authentication detects and prevents email spoofing techniques used in phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and other email-based attacks.

Hackers have discovered ways to circumvent, alter, or abuse SSL certificates. An SSL certificate blacklist is a list of untrustworthy SSL certificates that have been created and can potentially harm users.

The TLD (Top Level Domain) are the last characters of an entity’s website name, such as .com, .org, etc. Cyber-criminals and threat actors prefer a small set of 25 out of the thousands of available extensions, which accounts for 90% of all malicious sites. A Risky TLD is verification that the domain name is not to be trusted.

Heuristic Pattern: No

If a website uses Heuristics, then it is a scanning method that looks for malware-like behavior patterns. It is commonly used to detect new or not-yet-known malware.
