Mail Fraud
Scammers are imitating Forrester and/or asserting that Forrester is associated with a Walmart “Secret Shopper” program. Forrester is in no way associated with these programs. Scammers are sending fraudulent solicitations, mostly via mail, under the pretense of having consumers evaluate the retail experience. This scam is accompanied by a fake check made out for a large sum of money and asks the recipient to cash the check and purchase Walmart gift cards. If you receive one of these solicitations, you should not cash the check under any circumstances.
