Greg Williams And First Associates And Consulting LTD. Greg Williams and First Associates Consulting and LTD.... Beware of Scam!!!! Bradon Florida

Please do not get scammed by this Greg Williams. I received an email from careerbuilders regarding a Mystery Shopping position for Money gram Dealership. My responsibility was to answer a five question survey regarding my experience using Money Gram. I received my first assignment via FED EX! Inside the package contained one money order in the amount of 940.28. I was asked to go to my bank, cash the money order deduct 150 and send the rest to a recepient by the name of Cathy Aldridge in Yucca Valley CA. I went to my bank and was EXCITED about my new job!! I had always wanted to be a mystery shopper. When I arrived at my bank I was informed that it would take up to ten business days before the funds could be released. In lieu of my bank i decided to go to ACE check cashing were the money orders could be cashed the same day. Indeed the first money order was cashed and I sent the remaining amount to Cathy Aldridge and completed the survey with the reference number included. Two days later I received another package from FED except this time there were two money orders for 940.28. I again proceeded to go Ace Check cashing where the two new money orders were cashed. I again sent the money to Cathy Aldridge and sent the survey results to Greg Williams. I was so excited about this opportunity having been laid off in Feb, that I decided to share this information with my mother. Very upset she asked me to contact the DA's office as she just saw a special on 20/20 covering these "scams". I debated with her regarding the validity of the assignments and THOUGHT THAT IF THEY WERE FAKE ACE CHECKING WOULD NOT HAVE CASHED THEM. Again the third assignment arrived and I went back to the same Ace Cash Checking to cash the money order. This time the clerk was a little skeptical as I had three money orders for 940.28 from Greg Williams. He refused to cash the money orders and proceeded to contact the Houston Police Dept on the basis of suspision. The police asked me a series of questions and I provided all the information I had available. Upset I contacted First Associates and Consulting and proceeded to press three to reach Greg Williams. Despite several attempts Greg Williams was not available. HPD then verified the money orders which again passed the verification system. I called Greg Williams again and this time received a message that the services had been temporarily disconnected. I was PISSED!! I completed the police report and filed a report with Money gram being that I kept the transaction information. Indeed Cathy Aldridge had received both transfer and I was officially screwed. Later that day Ace Check cashing contacted me to inform me that despite the verification system allowing the transaction, I was expected to pay 3,000 dollars for the counterfeit money orders. I have now filed a report with the FBI and will be working with local authorities to ensure that these types of scams are addressed properly!! I would caution any one using Career builders please throughly investigate the job applications that are being sent to you. You dont want to be in my shoes!!
