On November 1 I called National Recovery Services @ 11:00am. I spoke to Johnny Valdez. They wanted my information not only to do a background check but also to charge me for Job Training Materials they said would be charged because many people receive the materials and never do the work. (Let me say right now after learning, NEVER EVER think you have to pay someone to work for them) He had me post-date the check for November 3 so that by the time they did the background check I would have the money in the bank as I was going to have to borrow the money to deposit in the bank.
I called back a few minutes later and asked Johnny for more information about his company so that I could feel more secure. I told him I would check them out with Better Business Bureau. He became defensive and told me that they have nothing to do with Better Business Bureau (Ok Large Flag to my already cynical mind.) I immediately went to check them out and found that they are only listed as never responding to Better Business Bureau.
I called back and spoke to a guy whose name I believe is Jason, I may be wrong, that tried to get Johnny on the phone but he would not come to the phone and the guy got back on the line and told me he would let him know that I did not want to work for their company and wanted the check voided and all of my information including Social Security and banking, dumped. I also emailed them after speaking to this guy and wrote the same exact thing. All this took 1 and 1/2 hours on the same day.
On November 8 They submitted an unauthorized check number 9999 to my bank and not the original check number I gave them of 0210. I had $1.18 in the bank, which put me in overdraft status being charged $30.00 because of it. I called my bank and was told that I am on my own even though clearly fraud is going on. They did however send me a copy of the check NRS submitted.
I called NRS and did indeed speak to a guy named Jason who was not only surprised about the check number but was surprised when I had another address listed for them that I got from the bank and on the check that looks like it comes from my bank only the bank's name is spelled incorrectly. He informed me he would let Johnny know (indeed he should.) I have to send everything I have gathered to them now and hope that I am reimbursed and before my bank sends me to collections.
This is obviously a con job in the most despicable degree. They are taking advantage of people (mostly women from what I gather) who have life circumstances that they need to be able to work at home like me, who may have children that they need to be there for after school or disabilities that this would be a perfect job for them. Preying on people's vulnerabilities is the worst sort of crime.
Let me add that this kind of insurance refunds from states requires no middleman. A person can call their states IRS or other refunds that they may have put up like for houses. These people are scumming people that aren't even needed to do this job. I got their ad from my local newspaper and I am notifying them, the news stations, and attorney generals office, Better Business Bureau of all 50 states. Until these people are stopped. I am printing out the other report to take to my bank and attorney generals office.
