North American Service Evaluators ripoff Pasadena California
The company had someone to call me via my cell phone. It was an 800 number and I was not able to call them back. The woman I spoke to said they had seen my resume on Monster.com and thought I would be an excellent evaluator.
She stated that they would Fedex me a package of information with my first "training" assignment. I should read through the information carefully and then give them a call with any questions.
The "training" would take approximately 2 hours. I would be paid 75.00 per hour during training and 80.00 per hour as a full time "mystery" shopper.
I was also encouraged by this woman to visit their website to view more details about the company. I did view their website and at that time believed they were legitmate.
Once I received my Fedex package about a week later, it came from Canada. I still did not realize what I was getting into. I read the information. There were two money orders supposedly issued from USBank through Travelers Express Company, Inc. They were both made out to me, each for 900.00. They were signed by a Cherie Pratt.
I was supposed to "cash" of "deposit" the money orders and then go to any Wal-Mart in my area and pose as someone needing to send a moneygram to my Aunt Mary Marlowe, 115 Roselle Street, Oakville, Ontario, Canada. There was no postal zip code. The "training" assignment was to be completed within three days from the time I received the fedex package.
They did stress the fact that I should be sure not to mention that I was a mystery shopper. Once I completed the task I was to fax over a one page brief evaluation form and an assignment request form for the following week.
I felt more secure with taking the money orders to my credit union. I deposited the two and requested the 1,650.00 back from the deposit. My bank informed me that because the money orders were from out of state they would have to hold them for 7 days.
I kept check with my online banking to verify when the funds were available. Meantime, I called the company to make them aware that I would not be able to access the money for 7 days. The woman I spoke with asked me for my "employee id number". She stated that she would note on my file that my first assignment would be delayed until the following Wednesday.
Once Wednesday rolled around, I went to the bank, withdrew the cash and proceeded to "start" my "training assignment". I even took my son with me. After going to Wal-Mart and getting the moneygram I went to my church to actually fax over the information and the time request sheet.
Still oblivious to anything, the next afternoon I went to my bank to withdraw 20.00 from my account and I was overdrawn, and not just by the 1,650.00, but at time it was already over 1,800.00 with all of the return fees.
I then received copies of the returned money orders from my bank. They were marked "Return Counterfeit". Now I am not only not currently employed, but way overdrawn on my bank account. My wedding gown deposit is gone as well as my wedding gown and I am not real sure how to remedy the situation.
