Telequest - DALLAS, TX 75202 BLEDSOE'S BRACE SYSTEMS (check letterhead) MYSTERY SHOPPER AND PAID SURVEY; MARKET EVALUATION FORM; WESTERN UNION; MACY'S, SEARS, K-MART DALLAS, Texas

I got the smae letter as others have reported but instead of trying to look it up I called the number.  Twice actually.  First to check it out ???, and later to advise that I was ready to deposit their check.  Since I had talked to a 'live' person twice, I thought this might really be a true offer.  After about a week of the check being deposited I thought it had made it through fine, then I get a notice from the bank that it was a CLOSED ACCOUNT. 

Friday (Dec 18,2009) I got on the phone and talked again with a guy that told me they had stopped payment on the check because they had been trying to get in touch with me via phone and I explained that I didn't get any calls from them and I was holding off long enough to make sure the check was good before I did the evaluation.  He said he understood that and he said unfortunately because of the holiday schedule no one to handle the reissue and refund of my $15 bank charge was in until Tuesday. 

I have been trying to get back in touch with someone at that same number ever since December 22nd but all I get is a RECORDING saying no one is in at this time. I have continured almost daily at all different times of the day & night & even used a different phone (in case they had my number blocked) but to no avail.
