Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
Wildwood Consumer Surveys sent me a check for $4,790.65. The deal is they want you to be a "mystery shopper". The letter sent with the check tells you exactly what to do with the money and promises more money in the future if you complete these "assignments".

The first assignment is to send someone $4,300.00 by MoneyGram or Western Union. It is to be sent to James(your last name) in New York, New York. When that is done you are to send an evaluation sheet by fax. The second assignment is to spend $90.00 at Gap, JCPenney, Walmart, or Sears and then fax an evaluation on their customer service.

Once you deposit the check into your account and it clears your bank, they will then have your account number on the back of the cleared check.

I saw a report on another company called Survey Pro Inc. They have the same fax number as Wildwood Consumer Surveys.

The check NEVER CLEARS ! Then you're stuck for the money you send them. They never get the bounced check back. It's sent back to YOU. Before you report a rip off, make sure you have your facts straight.

Wildwood Industries is not the same thing as Wildwood Customer Surveys

The address listed in this and the several rip-off reports for Wildwood Consumer Surveys is the address for Wildwood Industries, a factory 903 S Morrissey Drive which manufactures the product Endust and other home care products, and is completely unrelated to this wire advance fraud. Wouldn't want to drag an innocent business' name through the mud.

While it is possible for them to have your account number on the back of the check to later wipe it out, that is not what they care about. What happens is that the funds are released by your bank so that you can send them the money by Western Union. In a week or so the check comes back bad and they have the money, and you need to pay the bank back for the bounced check.
