Kevin D. Jamison Check bouncing SCAM.

Nielsen research scam??

Really missed up I also revived the same letter everyone said it was a scam so I looked it up on beenverified.com and guess what its a scam

Looks like a spammer or a con game

Scam beware

I received a check and letter from Minvestment Link, Inc with this phone number in Ca***a. I need to know if this is legitimate or if it is a scam

I received this check from Minvestment Litigation Escrow Account for $4800.00.  I answered an ad on craigs list for a job being a personal****istant.  I went through this already with another job.  They sent me the check and wanted me to send money to the furniture company for this house that this guy and his wife bought here in Mich.  They wanted me to be a housekeeper for them .  That time the money was 1800.00 and sent in money orders.  I went online. went to two post offices and two banks to check these money orders out. The post offices said they were fake but beware the banks tell you to deposit it and they will hold the funds until it clears.  Then what will happen you think it clears, draw a***nst it and still two wks later the bank clears all of your funds, plus overdraft fees and now tells you that the money orders did not clear.  Buyer beware this is all fake and be careful of the banks also.  They are not your friend.

Now they're using the name Fidelity Career Services Company out of Jericho NY. Same phone #, but "account manager" 's name is Daniel Odom.

I did not get a call, but received a letter in the mail. Actually I received 2 letters in the same day. One is from Integrated Logistics Research Inc. and the other is from Global Test Market. Holly L. Nelson signed the first and Joseph Coring signed the 2nd. I just received them today and I have looked them up and found out that it is most likely a scam. Thanks by the way. Just beware of them. I looked up the companies and people are using Global test market for their scam. They do online surveys and are located in WA not CT. What can we do with these letters to help them get caught?

ss Got the same scam letter in the mail today too.  Now using Citizen Bank, Pennsylvania.  John Smith still the contact but wording has c****ed a bit.

I'am going t the police with this after all I needed ajob for real w***ver you are my GOD is bigger and you won.t get away with this scam almost believed you and I'am and ederly person. The ****s on you !

I just received the letter from Promotions Manager Intact Financial Inc144 Bishops Gate Road Lodon UK EC2M-488Prize Claim/ Final Notification of $125,000 and 3980 is a part of winnings I will send this to Attorney General's office; bottom feeders.

I just got a check like terry's from bankers career research company, same amount, same instructions.  gonna turn it over to the cops. obviously a scam.

I got a letter in the mail with a check for $3875.00 (for tax payment on money I was supposed to have won in a UK lottery). Sounds like a scam to me, I did try to call the number they enclosed but got no answer, not even an answering service. Seems to me that a company would at least have a voice mail! The letterhead says it's from Promotions Manager, Treasure Link Securities in London.

bscm i got check from them and i tryed to cash it but places sayed it was fake if its real email me back at [email protected]

Natasha I recieved a check for 1,995 dollars from pacific research inc, the check was from hsbc bank usa in buffalo ny. They claimed to be a company for mystery shoppers and wanted me to keep $350 and spend $100 at walmart as my bonus and wire the rest to Sheena Fadden. I called the number and a foreign guy answered as if it was a home phone than a place of business. I called the bank and gave them the information on the check, they could not tell me if the check was real or not, but they told me that pacific research inc doesn't have an account with them. Beware people.

this person does not answer the calls. iwnat this person to call me imeediately concerning a fake check

WARNING!!!!!!!!! I did not get a call but got a letter from a company call Vintex Research Group. At first I was really excited and was going to cash it and but then I s**** thinking and I read the letter a***n. THERE WAS NO WEBSITE!!! Everyone has a web this days, at least the business do...And could not find anything then I reach for the # and I came across this.. Wouldn't you know.. So I called back and a guy name RANDY ARMSTRONG answer but not let the name fool you he sounded India. I told him I could not find his website anywhere and he gave me a web name really fast so I could not understand him, once I asked him where he got my info from he got nerves and didn't know what to say, when I told him I had gone to the police he quickly said  my check was going to be cancel and I would get no many.. Thats when I knew it was not real. If it was real they would have transfer me to a supervisor or so****ing.BE SMART PEOPLE RESEARCH ANYTHING YOU GET FIRST!!!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO CHECKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same number, different scam!  Received letter from Pacific Research INC, Dallas, TX and Madrid, Spain, asking to do secret shopping.  Enclosed "check" for $1965, of which $1390 to be sent via Western Union, rest for other shopping, sending fees, and salary.  Names on letter are Frank Baker, Cathy Schiller and Holly L. Nelson.  Check drawn from Monroe Distribution in NY, thru First Niagara Bank.  Envelope had stamp from Ca***a.  Check looks legit, but I'm not going there.  If it looks too good, it isn't!  Just passing to authorities.

roughgar I recieved a check from the following company for a somewhat large amount and was instructed to deposit it in the bank and send most of it to some female in atlanta GA .well first of all I don't have a bank account and second I never applied for a job with them!So I thought what the heck and went to a check cashing place to do as instructed and wire the funds with the check being cashed and not deposited, the place refused to cash or wire any money from the check even after John Goldman told me the check was good?So I guess there goes another good job I didn;t apply for.

Sabrina Casimir SEE ABOVE

i received the same check on the 8th o november depositedthe check in my account adthen three to five days later they drained myaccount to a negative 110.00 and i have a two yr old with down syndrome and they have ruined our acouns and now i have no money for her treatments.. I dont se why the gov doesnt do anything about it.. I hope i do get blessed being homeless isnt any ones dreams but they took me for it all plus some.. cambridge financial inc was on mne...

Andy I got an email from craigslist saying that their company overseas wanted to hire my company to do secret shopper work and that it would take a few days to send a letter with all the details. I said what the*****, why not, i would see what the letter said, see if it is legitimate. I got the letter almost a month later, just yes****ay. I got a check, looks real enough, or $2995.00. At first i thought wow, then i read the letter that came with it. It had scam written all over it. I was wondering how they trust to pay me two payroll, a total stranger they know nothing about, right off the bat. Then i was to wire $2220.00 to Tom Gonza*** after contacting him to activate the check,blah blah blah. I knew that it had to be fraudulent based on the fact that they were so trusting to begin with and secondly because if they just wanted to check to see if i was capable of doing the job by wiring money, why such a large sum. $50 would have been fine to wire, right. Then i figured that it is a large sum because once you deposit the check and it clears and you wire them the money, you end up losing the amount you deposit when th check is found to be bad. I wonder if the companies thay have listed on the letter as employesr that pay tem to do the secret shopping is aware that they are being used for fraud.Companies such as walmart, bestbuy, mcdonalds, costco, ikea, western union, e**on mobile. When they firat emailed me they said they were the international ***nch of ikea. That was so****ing else i ddn't understand, why would a furniture company do secret shopping for walmart and the other companies. I was under the****umption it would be for ikea only until i got the letter. Then they said not to contact anyone about it because it will have a bias opinion, they say that so that you won't **** their operation out of the water. Well i was never going to deposit this check but i think i will post some craigslist ads to warn others.

Edward Paviol recieved a check for $1965.00/ check bounced

mike who is this

I received a letter and a check for $3715.70 saying it was a partial payment for a  home improvement grant I won that would not have to be paid back in big red letter. The check is totally real however as everyone else has stated they want you cash the check and wire them money. The phone number they want me to call is 289-892-2539 and ask for a Frank Campbell or Jennifer Robert and give my claim number. I did not do any of this but if anyone is looking to sue these people please let me know. According to them this is my money I won. So like everyone else it would be nice to have. Thanks Also did anyone notice the amount to be the same as your address as far as the house number.

Leonard Have no idea who it is.

Mark This is a phone number to call in a letter to me for a $25,000 Home Improvement Grant. They sent a check for $2350.00, which I am to deposit & mail them the fees for the grant. They will then send be the balance of the money.  The company name if Liberty Trust Management, in New York. This is a scam. The check is from community central bank mt clemens, mi 48046-0007 BEWARE if you receive one of these. The letter looks official & they say it is endorsed by Walmart, Sears, Blockbuster ,etc.. I called the bank they said the check is no good.

crank Just received a check for 996.80 for my deceased ***her.  The sad part is he would have fallen for this scam.  This time they used Altura Credit Union and I had to contact a Nancy Lowes.  I never believe in getting free money for nothing.  Some things are too good to be true.  Always beware of scammers no matter how good the offer looks.  Check looks very legit. Made me want to go and cash it right away but I knew it had to be a scam since they asked for money to receive your earnings.

I got a similar one that the name was or FFI INC FINANCIAL FREEDOM but the phone number is the same as me excited but I also seemed strange when trying to find information on the Internet I realized it was a scam

Robert Did not answer.

Got a letter with a check for $1980 telling me we were approved for a home improvement grant and to call that number to claim my prize which is $29,000 which would be sent via carrier in 3 to 5 business days. You are suppose to call to activate the check...I have never heard of a check being activated and get instructions on the disbur*****t and processing fees that are to be paid from the check.  I have an extra bank account I don't use was thinking of depositing it there and seeing what happens justdon't want fees.  Was wondering if anyone has deposited the check or taken it directly to the bank.  I called BNY Mellon and left a message.

I got the same check. It looks real, but NOONE gives money away for free, and I don't even own a home. The check says"Final International Home Improvement grant notification". It also says"I was a ramdomly selected from publishers clearing house or readers digest, or department store. I wonder......

Aida Alcala This number belongs to "The Office of Consumer Office Work Force" this week that is.  Every week the number or the recording is c****ed it belongs to a different company.  This number belongs to a scammer.  They send you a check so you can do the work they tell you to do.  Then, the check does not clear your bank.  When you call the company to tell you what happened, they never send you the money.  BEWARE!!!  THEY ARE THIEVES.  THIEVES!!!  FRANK THOMPSON IS A THIEF.

Kacey I got a letter in the mail stating to call this number to hear about my first job. i call b/c the letter came with a nice $1940.00 check. (A VERY REAL CHECK) The man on the phone used my maiden name so red flags flew up. It is a sectet shopper scam wanting me to wire $1300.00 to New York as soon as i deposited the check into my checking account. Be aware!!! don't fall victim to this SCAM!!!!!!!

I received mail with an actual check saying I was awarded a Home Improvement Grant and this was a partial payment to pay the necessary fees to receive the full grant. The check was from a company called All-Safety. I was to Western Union $2600 to a Angela Rodriguez in Chicago, IL. But my bank said the check was returned to the company because it was drawn on a closed acct. Now when I try to call this Settle Direct, Inc. they do not answer this phone.Has anyone else received this with this telephone number attached to the letter?

This person says he is connection with a james and that he was wanting to send money to me, he neded my personal info. Didnt give it to him, he sounded fishy

I received the exact same letter as the person before me. I called and spoke with "Frank" and when I s****ed asking questions he got very short with me and said if I didn't want my grant I didn't have to do it. This is a SCAM no dout about it there would be no reason for you to cash a check and then have to mail them money to pay the taxes and fees. He also gave me a different # to call after I cashed the check for further instuction that # is 877-227-4759 this is a SCAM DO NOT CASH THE CHEC****

Did I do that NO THANK GOD. I waited for that check to clear which it didn't it was returned and cost me $10.00 I called my bank to see what happened and they told me it was a counterfit check. This check looked authentic. BEWARE OUT THERE Luckily I was smart enough to hold on tranfering any money to them.
