Complaint Review: Market Survey Information Inc.

The phone number is 330-775-7052. We were to cash the check and buy Money Gram Transfers to send the money in international currency for a David Barnes ($1100) and a Timothy Smart ($1100). The rest of the amount was for expenses of the transactions and salary. The instructions were a little obvious of a scam but I called the bank that held the account and the department manager had me fax a copy to them. The check was then forwarded to the fraud department and since it was a fraud it would in turn open a case for the investigation. These perpetrators had chosen a random bank and generated the check which is a federal offense.
