An envelope, with no return address, was delivered to me. The letter congratulates me for being chosen from this company's job search Data bank as seeing extra income opportunity. I was chosen to represent their company as a secret shopper.
The probationary task is a PAID survey assignment to be completed according to directions you would receive when you called one of their assignment coordinators.
It then goes into what your job description would be and Employee Code of Business Conducts & Ethics were also included with the letter.
A check for $1210.40 US was enclosed to assist with this assignment.in order to activate the check, again, you need to call the long distance number.
There is a breakdown of how the funds are to be used with the bulk of the funds, $1,210, going to a Money Gram Transaction to a Carrie Grabowski at 7013 milestrip Road, Oshawa, Canada. The check is supposedly drawn on UMB Bank, NA, Topeka, Kansas. Their company name is NOT on the check.
I also researched the bank and contacted them like the other post stated here from a person on Glendale AZ (Christopher GLENDALE, Arizona) U.S.A. He is correct in that the bank will tell you is that the account is a good account and that the funds are available. That's all that they can tell you legally. According to the other poster when the check clears the real account holder notices this and investigates.
In the mean time, your bank freezes your account and usually after you withdrew the money and used it like the instructions said. You are out the then out the money and have to pay that back to the bank. Not to mention that in Some states that you can actually be brought up on criminal charges for depositing the check just as Christopher stated..
So based on this complaint I did NOT cash the check. I did call the number and spoke to a Lorrie Siciliana the HR manager (she claims) and when I repeatedly questioned her why the bulk of the money was a money transfer to a person in Canada that she claims works for her company she became angry and snapped. I told her there was no reason to be rude at which she replied that I should just follow the instructions and not ask so many "stupid F*king questions. At this point I ended the call. No reputable business would use that kind of language. The other poster with the same complaint had a different company name but I am thinking it is the same group of thieves. If it seems to be too good to be true it is. DO not cash those checks!!!
