Directive Analytics Survey LTD. AKA Power Survey Company They issue checks for large sums then give you 2 mystery shopper "jobs", the 1st one being to analyze Western Union by wiring a portion of the check to a person they list in London. Menlo Park, California
I received a check for $2,650.00 in the mail with a letter. The letter head stated it was from Directive Analytics Survey LTD. 37 Vantura Street, Menlo Park, CA 94066. The check itself was printed by Safeguard at 1180 Church Road, Lansdale, PA 19446. Check was issued through Fifth Third Bank in Northern KY. Check no. 590161.
In the letter I was told to call the account manager, Gary Peterson at 1-289-772-6755 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-289-772-6755 end_of_the_skype_highlighting to activate the enclosed payroll check before depositing in my bank acct. I thought it was a little strange that the account manager had such a thick foriegn accent with that name. The letter gave a breakdown of how I was to spend the money.
1. My salary was to be $450.00
2. Survey funds to be transferred via Western Union were $1,980 + $120 in sending fees for Money in Minute option on green money transfer form. This was to be the first "assignment", to evaluate Western Union's performance. I was told to send the money to Afato Crichton(receiver) at their international processing branch office in London, England.
3. Funds to be used for shopping were $100.00, this was to be the second "assignment".
On the other side of this letter is an assignment evaluation form to be filled out upon completion of both assignments. It is then to be faxed to 1-877-530-2624 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-877-530-2624 end_of_the_skype_highlighting along with all receipts.
