Beware of Offers of Quick Returns for Cashing Checks

TNS never conducts mystery shopping or quality assurance projects that involve cashing checks or wiring TNS money.

If someone claiming to be a representative of TNS ever contacts you with an offer promising funds for cashing a check and/or wiring TNS money in connection with a mystery shop or quality assurance project, please immediately email TNS at infous@tnsglobal.com. Do not deposit the check into your bank account or wire money. This is a scam!

Please be assured that TNS is in contact with the appropriate authorities to identify the perpetrators of these scams.

For additional information regarding these scams, including how to protect yourself and the recommended steps to follow if you are a victim, please visit the website of the Mystery Shopping Providers Association.
