Fraud/Scam
The BBB has this company in there list like its a real company and in the state of Indiana, and they list no complaints against them until now! It's a very expensive scam! Especially to an unemployed worker looking for legitimate work. I had been putting apps. in alot of places so was happy when they contacted me with the offer of a job. Here is the scam...they send you a real looking check for $3, 970.00, (it's a forged check) and give instructions on how it is to be used in the job assignments they give you, plus it includes your 1st weeks training pay. You get 2 assignments. 1st you have to call Ireene Berker or Allen Johnson at 450-369-0429, (it's not a toll free#)to have the check activated. Once activated your told to put it into the bank and wait til your bank clears it, (they say approx.2days) and when available for withdraw you get your assignments. The 1st is to take $90.00 to Walmart, Kmart, Homedepot, Sears, etc. Your choice of store, your choice of product, which you can keep once you fax in your report and the receipts of purchases. Next you have to take $3, 250.00, plus $240.00 service charge fee, to a Moneygram or Western Union and send the $ to a choice of 2 people (GloriaAnderson or MarleneOwen of Atlanta, Ga) Purpose of the assignment is to see if the receiving agents are following the law in asking for the proper ID and to investigate complaints on the unprofessional interrogations by the agents when the send or receive funds over $2, 000.00 since 911.Upon completion of that assignment you fill out a customer service evaluation form and fax it immediately to 450-988-1118 or 866-838-8164 for verification. They tell you they will never ask for any of your account info and that if you do a good job you will be offered a permenant possition with the company. Sounded legitimate to me. But in the meantime after the bank clears the check it comes back to them as being a forged check on unclaimed funds? Unless these people are arrested and charged with this fraud I am responsible for paying back the bank all that money plus the overdraft charges and since I left my salary part in the bank, I either wrote a check or used my debit card to pay bills and the bank sent back everything. So I owe all those overdraft charges and fees associated with returned checks at the various companies I paid. I can't aford a lawyer to help me settle this matter. It's such a large amount of $money, (to me anyway) that I think the feds should be brought into this so they can track down these people. I found out that another person in my town was done the same way as me with the same scam! Please somebody help! Pass the word around and the names of these people so nobody else will be ripped off! And if you are a law person please arrest these people!
