S.M.E.R SURVEY PRO INC (MYSTRY SHOPPER) SENT CHECK FOR 4995.00 ON BANK OF AMERICA ACCOUNT MEDLEY Florida
I RECIEVED A BOGUS LETTER AND VERY LEGIT LOOKING CHECK FROM THIS S.M.E.R. COMPANY TODAY 11/01/2008. IT INSTRUCTS ME TO SEND 105$ VIA MONEYGRAM TO SUSAN WITH MY REAL LAST NAME. THE CHECK LOOKS REALLY GOOD AND THEY WOULD HAVE "SCAMMED" ME BUT I WAS WONDERING WHY WOULD THEY SEND A LARGE CHECK IN A CHEESY ENVELOPE AND WITH LETTER WORK THAT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MASS PRODUCED. I THEN CHECKED THE CHECK FOR WATER MARKS AND OTHER FEATURES, IT HAD NONE. THE PAPER FELT LIKE BASIC PRINTER PAPER. I CALLED BANK OF AMERICA AND WAS TOLD THE CHECK IS FAKE, AND DRAWN ON ANOTHER COMPANIES ACCOUNT. HAD I CASHED IT THE FUNDS WOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO ME BUT IN A WEEK OR TWO I WOULD BE IN TROUBLE FOR CASHING THE CHECK AND IN DEBT!!! I CALLED S.M.E.R. BUT GOT THE ANSWERING MACHINE THE FIRST FEW TIMES THE FINALLY GOT A WOMAN(MOST LIKELY "SUSAN" WHO TRIED TO GET ME TO CASH THE CHECK AND SEND THE 105$ FEE. I STARTED ASKING QUESTIONS AND SHE HUNG UP.

I have called the company (S.M.E.R.) who is named in this scam. I faxed them all of the documents and waited for response. When I did not receive anything I contacted them once again. This time the owner of the company emailed me and called me. He was wondering why his money was disappearing from this account. He forwarded what I faxed him to BofA's fraud department. They and he are now monitoring all activity on this account. He was very grateful that I contacted him. I did shred the phony check as I did not want any else using the check. I still have the emails if anyone needs to read them.

I have also received a letter and check from this company. I was leery the moment I saw a Canadian postage stamp. I called BofA and found that the routing number and account number on the check is valid. It belongs to a company named Star Medical Equipment Rental in Miami, FL. The address is similar, but the phone number is a cell phone in Canada. I contacted Star Medical and spoke to them and have faxed them a copy of what I received. We'll see what happens.
