Received letter and a check for $1992 to do research as a secret shopper. I had responded to an internet ad some time ago to be a secret shopper, so I didn't think anything of it when an assignment came in the mail.
I deposited the check which cleared my bank the next day (Saturday). I went shopping Sunday and sent a Western Union wire late Monday, then faxed the results to Argos (?) 886-339-2885
All seemed to have gone well, and I called the Argos number, 438-995-4595 on Wednesday 1-11, to verify transaction. I got an answer and was told my survey was received and, I should receive my next assignment in the mail shortly.
Then today, Thursday, I received a bank alert, that my account was short; the Argos check had bounced.
I called Argos again and got the same person; He said he remembered me calling yesterday and they would be getting back to me soon. Then I ask him why his check bounced and he hung up.
I called back but got no answer, but found out this is a cell phone.
I called there second number, 438-993-4196, and it answered with a foreign langauge message. I stayed on the line until it hung up, and moments later, I received a call from a foreign female voice, but I could not communicate and she hung up. (438-993-4169).
They are very slick and must be stopped!
