I received a check for $4998. I called the company the next day to see what it was about. Seemed like a good deal. Wish i had checked around more. They told me to deposit the check that they released the funds & then call them back & they would let me know what i needed to do for the shops. That i needed to also ask my bank how long it would take for funds to be ready.
I went & deposited the check. I asked the teller at my bank how long they holed on to checks. He said he would call the bank right now & verify funds. This was a cashiers check so it should have already been paid for. He verified that the funds were there. I called the company back & let them know. I talked to a supervisor & he explained the shops to me & what i needed to do. I did what he asked & called him back with the reference #'s for the money transfers. I also did a wal-mart at the time. He said that he was sending my next week papers to me. Needless to say i never received them.
On Friday i checked my bank records to see what had cleared in my bank & noticed that i was over drawn by $5008. I called my bank & they said that the $4998 check was sent back to them saying it was altered or fictitious & that i needed to call the bank that originated the check. I tried twice on friday to contact them & all i got was a customer service rep saying that someone would call me back. (american pride bank). I called the mystery shop company several times on friday, saturday & sunday & got no response from them.
I have called numerous times today & the first like 20 calls i didn't reach anybody. Either the number wouldn't ring to a voice mail or voice mail was full. Finally i reached the original person i talked to about my assignments. He wouldn't talk to me. Just said he would transfer me. The phone was busy so i couldn't talk to someone. Then i called & got someone else & she took information & said it would take 2 weeks to investigate. I told her i didn't have 2 weeks that my bank was over drawn. She said just a minute & transferred me to the fraud dept. Needless to say the phone was busy. I called back several more times & the phone wouldn't go through or i got voice mail again. Finally reached someone & she hung up on me so i called back & got voice mails & phone wouldn't go through or vm was full. Finally got ahold of someone again & she hung up on me again. I did this for 3 hrs.
I still have yet to reach anybody to get this taken care of. I even called american pride bank twice today & all i got was a voice recording saying "thank you. Good bye." and hung up.
I need help on what to do to get my money back that i spent on this company on the money transferrs i did that supposedly went back to the company.
