Additional Questions
If you have questions about mystery shopping, please email us at shoppersupport@sentrymarketing.com.
I received a large check from Sentry before completing any assignments. Is this a real check?
No. This is not a real check and you should not cash it. Sentry pays the majority of shoppers by direct deposit. We NEVER send a check in advance of completing an assignment. If you received a check bearing our logo and asked to deposit it and then buy gift cards or wire part of the proceeds, it is highly likely that this is a SCAM and we strongly advised that you do not cash this check. You can always email our help desk with any questions or concerns regarding payment or the validity of a check sent to you.
