One week ago last Saturday, as my husband & I were just driving out the drivewway, we stopped to get the mail & there was an official looking envelope from the USPS from a company named Customer 1st with a check in it in the amount  of $2450.00. 

It sincerely did look real & I thought I must have signed up with them online, as I often did, but  never again!  Had it not been a Saturday & on our way out the door, I would have checked on this company first, but since my bank was open on a Saturday, I thought I would just go ahead & deposit it, big mistake!

The letter inside asked me to let them know at  (805) 301-7023 when I:    1) had RECIEVED ASSIGNMENT,  then to TO 2) let them know when I had their "CHECK DEPOSITED", then again when the "FUNDS WERE AVAILABLE" which I checked in on Tueday & the bank told me that the funds were available, then the following Saturday, that being last Saturday, I got a notice in the mail from my bank saying that I had RETURNED DEPOSITED ITEMS & that the reason for the return was that the check for $2450.00 was ficticious/altered, I was sick to my stomach!  At first I was pissed at my bank for telling me that the funds were available, then on top on all that, my bank charged me an additional $16.00

Then they told me that they would either have me buy something or do a financial matter, which was to send $1,81.23 to a Rolland Leggett for a Walmart to Walmart transfer to Texas.  That was it, my money was gone!

Now I've contacted the local police, which said they pretty much would/could do nothing, I contacted my bank, which said the same thing, and I've contacted Walmart Fraud Department, ll telling me that it wasn't fraud - that the minute I deposited that check it was on me, no more fraud my fault, period.

Now they (Customer 1st) won't take my calls, won't answer my texts or my emails, nada.
