$4,950.00!!! PNC Bank check made out to me!!! Fantastic...Cool...Waaaay Cool...and with this I'm hired!!! To "shop" keep the merchandise and be PAID!!!

The breakdown as follows: $4950.00...$130.00 for 2 hours of probationary training...$200.00 for shopping..."Required funds to be sent" $3,470.00 via Western Union/Moneygram...$150.50...transfer fee...all in the name of Consumer Rearch...why not???

I don't even know where/how these people got my name and address, guessing..as a I went online desperate for income....I signed up for numerous online surveys...but that's ANOTHER story.

I actually fell into this scam...believing it I cashed the check at my PNC Bank and followed the instructions on the letter I had received as a "new hire". I phoned the number and spoke with my "supervisor"...omg when I think about it now....I wrote out my "reports" of my shopping ....wiring of funds...and faxed it to the toll free number provided...wah la!!!..All in an easy days pay!!!..NOT..

The same day...while still out, the POLICE were at my home asking my teenage daughter where I was....The bank had phoned them reporting that the check that I had cashed earlier was fraudulent..I spent 20 to 30 minutes with the teller as she verified and had the Bank Branch Manager "sign off" that the check was good....I still don't know how/why/when they were alerted....however I'm certain to September 15th 2008 at 1pm at the County Courthouse as I AM CHARGED with a FELONY.

Never mind the fact that I haven't even had a moving violation in 27 years...I am an upstanding citizen....I even graciously pay my taxes....appreciating what comforts they bring to me as an American...and detest the complaint of ones "having to pay"....I did consider myself of at least having a moderate intelligent level, but since this has happened to me ....I question this. Remembering now "when it sounds too good to be true...it probably isn't".
