eMail/Mail Fraud

Scammers are imitating Forrester and/or asserting that Forrester is associated with a Walmart/CVS “Secret/Mystery Shopper” program. Forrester is in no way associated with these programs. Scammers are sending fraudulent solicitations, via email and mail, under the pretense of having consumers evaluate the retail experience. The scam promises to reimburse mystery shoppers for completing the assignment. If you receive one of these solicitations, do not participate.
