Complaint Review: Access Marketing Research - Premium Financing Specialists

Received an envelope post marked from Canada. There was no return name or address on the envelope. Upon opening the envelope was a letter from Access Marketing Research Inc. 75 9th Avenue, Suite 5B, P.O. Box 400, New York, N.Y. 11226, and a check for $4,870.00.

The check was from Premium Financing Specialists, Inc., P.O. Box 700, Amherst, NY 14226-0700. It was drawn on Commerce Bank, Kansas City & St. Joseph. It was dated 1/19/2009. It had an authorized Signature of "Barbara J. Moelle".

The letter said I was chosen as a mystery shopper and that I would have to spend $150.00 at one of several large chain stores. I was also asked to send $3,870.00 as a Wester Union Money Gram. Part of the money was to pay a $150.00 service charge for sending the Money Gram. Then $700.00 was to be mine for a training salary. The salary was then promised to go up to $1000.00 for the first three months and then $1500.00 per week thereafter.

After I sent the Money Gram and spent the $150.00 in one of the stores all I had to do was to fill out and fax an enclosed evaluation form and the store receipt.

Too bad for these criminals that I happened to be an educated person who knows that " If something seems to good to be true it probably isn't". What company with today's economic conditions would pay $700.00 to a person to do such simple a task.

I just hope this person/persons are caught and do some prison time.
