Complaint Review: The Marketing Agency Inc. Resourse Management Payment & Verification

I was recently sent on 09/29/2008, a letter containing a check for $3,980.50 drawn on the Whitney National Bank, 228 St. Charles Ave., New Orleans, LA 70130-2615. This was a pre-payment for a greater amount of $35,000.00 which was to be used to pay for "Security Clearance and Taxes" before I was to receive the lump sum. I am not suppose to use the check until I make a call to: "Rob Williams' at 1-604-767-1753, for further clarification and instructions on claiming my prize". This undoubtly is the result of my involvement in a product testing scam which I was duped into trying "Health" products from CCN- Central Coast Neutracuticals who hawk things like Teeth Whitener and Hoodia Water and Green Tea supplements and the like. All part of a larger operation to test products from Consumer Research Corporation.

The latter is a company which seems legitimate since I did receive a $50.00 gift card from them which had problems clearing a payment, but did indeed clear. Since then I actually received a test product within a 3 month period as promised. So I can't say much about CRC except, that they are involved with people with shady business practices.

There is a term they use called "Negative Promotions" which is how they trick you into accepting delivery of more of the product than you actually orderd and this is written in their terms and policies.

So I'm holding on to this letter and check along with several others, not from this scam, so I can send a package to the U.S. Treasury Department and /or any other agency affliated with internet fruad and scams.

LOOK OUT Internet scammers I am out to get you and any who may want to use your tactics to "ROB" people of their money!
