Metroplex, LTD B.F. Rich Co. Marketing Firm Please Beware, don't fall for this scam Markham, Ontario
So glad I checked this company out. Got an envelope with a letter, consumer report form and a check for $4,335 from Metroplex, LTD dba Metroplex from Grand Bank in Dallas, TX and questioned if it was real. Of course it isn't.
Supposing one must purchase an item at Walmart for $60, purchase two Western-Union grams for $1800 and $1860, with a service charge of $230 and a Mc Donald shake (weird) for $5. Then they say you have a 3 day delay to complete the assignment. That was questionable, I don't know what that means. Then the paperwork needs to be faxed to them. The fax numbers were the same but the addresses on the envelope, letter and where to send the money grams were different.
I've worked with several mystery shop companies and I never got a check in advance especially for that huge amount.
Please don't fall for this scam. Each piece of mail had grammatical errors which should raise flags.
I don't know how they got my name and address. This is going to the shredder right away.

I did some research on this letter and found the number at the bottom of the letter was actually a cell phone in montreal canada. That says SCAM all over it in its self let alone the already sent the check.
I called this number to ask questions but after i hung up i forgot one and called back, the same woman answered the phone... what are the odds of that happening if its a real company.
The lady told me that i was to wait for the check to clear and then call them before i sent the money thru western union to someone in england, and to call again after i sent it. I was told to evaluate the employees.
I dont know how someone can do something like this use a real bank and a real company to base your scam on is really low!
