Customer Service Survey Group Inc. TRICKY SCAM WILLIOWDALE Ontario Canada
scam written all over it. An envelope, with no return address, was delivered to me. The letter congratulates me for being chosen from this company's job search Data bank as seeing extra income opportunity. I was chosen to represent their company as a secret shopper.
The probationary task is a PAID survey assignment to be completed according to directions you would receive when you called one of their assignment coordinators.
It then goes into what your job description would be and Employee Code of Business Conducts & Ethics were also included with the letter.
A check for $2,875.00US was enclosed to assist with this assignment. In order to activate the check, again, you need to call the long distance number.
There is a breakdown of how the funds are to be used with the bulk of the funds, $2,250.00, going to a Money Gram Transaction. The check is supposedly drawn on UMB Bank, NA, Millauke,MI. Their company name is NOT on the check.
Now heres the kicker, I researched the bank and contacted them. All that the bank can tell you is that the account is a good account and that the funds are available. Thats all that they can tell you legally. when the check clears the real account holder notices this and investigates. in the mean time, your bank freezes your account and usually after you withdrew the money and used it like the instructions said. You are out the 2875.00 usd and have to pay that back to the bank. not to mention that in Some states that you can actually be brought up on criminal charges for depositing the check.
Now there is a way to spot these scams and most banks will help you. if you talk to them they will mostlikely help you. If you have not taken out the money let the bank handle it and work with you to repair your standing with the bank. calling the police and F.B.I. Wont help due to the fact that they wont investigate it unless the check was in the amount of 500,000 usd.
If you feel that you have been scammed by a fake check and you still have the check go to (((link redacted))).
