This company sent my son a "check" for $3,785.00. Thank goodness he was smart, and asked me to check them out before he deposited their check. He called the number listed on their paperwork, and he said that it sounded like someone's home phone when he answered. The person (Mike Howard) told him to call during normal business hours, and then hung up on him. Their letter asked him to become a mystery shopper, and told him to send a Moneygram, or Western Union transaction to one of several listed people in the amount of $3,150.00, pay $190.00 in fees, $400.00 for his first paycheck, and keep $45.00 for his second shopping assignment. I called the Citibank branch that was listed on the check, and spoke with Ms. Jennifer Bland who is the branch manager. She informed me that the check was indeed a fraud, and told me NOT to let my son deposit the check. After speaking to her, I also filed a complaint on the FTC website. PLEASE stay away from these people!!!
