The envelope has a stamp of Canada & did not have a return address. It contained a check for $4,995.00 with "aa ronbrothers" as the payor with an
address of P.O. Box 619500, DFW Airport, TEXAS 75261-9566. Check shows the Wells Fargo Bank, Ohio, N.A. The cover letter & Check is payable to me.
The cover letter describes the position of "Customer Service Evaluator" with the pay scale for the trainee & salary increase after 6 months. It directed me to to to a Moneygram at any location, pose as a customer & send $4440.00 to a person in New York, New York. This person only has a first name & I'm supposed to use my last name for this person. The fee for this transaction is $150. Then I'm supposed to complete the 2nd assignment &
shop at Home Depot, Gap, JC Penny & spend $105. The remaining $300 is my probation training pay. The enclosed Market Response 101 must be completed & faxed to their office fax. Before depositing the check, I'm supposed to call their office; I did & the recorded message stated "no room for messages". The "Code of Business Conduct & Ethics" is printed on the back of
their letter & it contains several misspelled & missing words.
I checked with the local Wells Fargo Bank & after checking their records, the branch on this check does not exist. I went to the local Aaron Brothers & they
also confirmed they are not the company on the check although the name on the check is very similar.
My initial investigation includes checking Yahoo & Google for any info on this company & noted several reports regarding this company. It appears this SCAM originates from Canada & similar letters with checks have been mailed to innocent victims. I hope this report will prevent anyone from being a victim of Survey Pro Inc.
