We fell victim to same scam around Dec 2 2008.
MB Moon Park was the company listed.
NO CHECK *EVER* should clear a bank if the INDIVIDUAL COMPANY OR PERSON has NOT been authorized as a payee! This is one of the LARGEST holes left remaining in our bank system! We found that a Detective in North Carolina has tried to get together enough complaints to take it federal; and supposedly it has finally reached the level where the feds have looked into it.
We got immediate refund from our bank; I did not call the 800 or 888 number, but it does NOT matter if they are just a 'clearinghouse;' they (the person answering the phone) is PAID BY *SOMEONE* - so, I told the detective that the FBI should be able to trace that exact 800 or 888 phone line and query that person about "who" hired her; "who" paid the check to pay for the services of the clearinghouse.
My wife also was a Mary Kay rep - BUT, even though quite a number of people were NOT Mary Kay reps, I would bet that the persons scammed were MARY KAY CUSTOMERS or they bought something from Mary Kay's site. I think CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST MARY KAY needs to be brought, so that ALL the information can be disclosed, if any such information is known to them. What are your thoughts?
