(780) 709-4716

I received a letter with a check for $2995.00 to become a Secret Shopper from Silverson Evaluation and Marketing Services 355 Chestnut St, East Longmeadow, MA 01028 that requested I call this phone number 1-780-709-4716. I called the 1-780-709-4716 to speck with Alex Goulet the****igned agent from the letter to call and I spoke with an Anita Miller who stated to deposit the check and call her back to s**** the training immediately. She request me to do the money transfer via Western Union or Money Gram evaluation at WalMart and she gave me the name of the person (Tom ***dley) to wire it to in Ca***a, there were two of these evaluation to complete on the letter in the amount of $1900.00 and $700.00. She was very insistant that if I had the money to go ahead and do the wire transfers even for a lessor amount than what they had requested in the letter. She requested If I had money available in my checking account or could use my credit card she could get me s****ed with the week of training they were paying me $330.00 out of the check they sent to me to complete. She stated she had approved the check for payment and to prevent any delays with the bank that she could direct deposit future checks directly into my account. But I refused, because I knew this would give them access to my bank account number. Lucky my bank puts a 5-day hold on checks because of the large of an amount of the check to ensure the check was good. I mentioned this to Anita Miller on 11 April and I told here I was not wiring any money until her check clears. She then stated, "I would be behind in completing the****ignments and that she couldn't do anything more to get me s****ed until I could complete one of the wire transfers", and she just told me to call her back when the check clears. She wasn't even interested in whether I had completed the other $25 purchase evaluation at Walmart customer service and/or the $15 purchase at McDonald's they had requested in the letter. She stated because, I get to keep those items I purchase from each of those evaluation of the stores. I called her back on 17 April after finding out the check didn't clear and she stated they canceled the check because it took too long for my bank to clear it. I asked her, why would she cancel the check if I had already mentioned this 5-day bank delay to her on 11 April after depositing the check. She had no good answer and was ready to just get off the phone. The check#32540 was written from Silverson ma****es INC., PO Box 589, 365 Chestnut St. East Longmeadow, MA 01028 the envelope postage info was out of Ca***a with a web address of www.Postesca***a.ca and www.ca***aPost.ca and had a return address without a name or company listed. The Address was PO Box 6578, MTL, QC H2V1K2. This seemed very su****ious also if this was a ligitimate company or service. It appears this was a SCAM!!! just to have you wire money into Ca***a from your account or your credit card before their check cleared and you would not be able to get your money back. Don't trust them by using your own money before their check clears.

I also received a letter and this is a scam DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY. I spoke with the company that is on the check (Ram Comm) and they are based in Texas and actually do communications work and have nothing do with any mystery shopping service.

I received letter stating I have been selected to parti****te in mystery shopping.  I received a check for 47200.00.  I called this number and the person said they were Anita.  Take the check to Western Union and send them back 5,245 using two different western union locations.  This is a scam I called National Financial Services, LLC. to verify.  Do not attempt to cash this check or send it back to anyone.  Just tear up and report to FTC.
