I was looking through Careerbuilder for potential employment and found Allen Hillsborough Services. The advertisment stated that this was a customer service position with flexible hours. The pay rate was $13-$16 per hours with commission.
I received a cashier check fby Fedex from an Angela Daugherty of Altamonte Springs, FL. I was The check was written off of a Suntrust bank. I called 1-800-786-8787 to verify funds and the check, which appeared to be good.
I was told that it was my first Mystery Shopper assignment. I was to verify funds, deposit or cash check, and within 24 to 48 hours. Send a moneygram to the following address: 162 Maitland Avenue, Altamonte Springs, FL 32701.
I was then to resend my response by email with moneygram reference number and my wire transfer information.
I called my local branch today and I was notified this fraud check. I told the fraud department that I suggested that the bank clerk verify funds as well before the deposit took place, but they refused to do this. I was told how would they know. Are they not the professionals of the institution? I felt they didn't carryout their responsibility and now the customer is paying the consequences.
