I received an email based on my resume being available on a Yahoo jobs site. The basic details are these:
1) I was asked to go to Western Union outlets near my home and write a detailed report (called a survey) about the establishment, service and professionalism of the employees
2) I was asked to make a wire transfer of 789 dollars to a supposed other survey taker
3) I was told I would be paid 100.00 for each survey I took. I was also told that I needed to open a Citibank account to do all of the financial transactions, because that was the only bank WA Surveys worked with (RED FLAG)
4) I questioned the honesty and legality of the proposition, angrily! I received a response, a long letter from Michael McDowell, saying he understood why I had fears, but that everything I had read and researched on the internet were only allegations, and that nothing was ever proved. He claimed innocence, and that all of the internet stories (about his AKA Michael Friedman) were false and made by people who misunderstood him, is company and his proposal.
5) In doing my research, found this website, and decided not to just "let this go" but to go ahead tel this story and get justice for anyone who was ripped off or hurt in some way by this scam. This guy whoever he really is, is absolutely premeditated, malicious and totally illegal.
That's my story. I have been unemployed for 5 months and am close to desperate to get a job. I had been a high paid executive, and now I am living on unemployment and truly struggling to survive, I am applying for any and every job imaginable, and some like this... Unimaginable. I will not sit by and let someone put on a scam like this, especially in these tough time when people would consider options that otherwise would never be thought of.
