Comprehensive Marketing sent me a check for $3,780.00.  They congratulated me for the application I had submitted for a customer service position.  I am seeking employment so the check was tempting.  I read the letter which said I would get $200/hr for a 2hr "try-out" training assignment = $400.  I was instructed to call 1-866-439-0576 to activate the check I was to deposit into my bank account.  I was supposed to use the remaining $3,380 to pay a western union fee and send funds (not sure where...never called).  The letter gave a little evaluation about the western union ...courteous? professional? etc...  They also requested I fax over  a weekly schedule of my available hours on a form that was not included.  I called KMART, the suggested western union location, and was suprised to hear KMART did have a western union but they advised me not to cash the check or send the wire that may give Comprehensive Inc. access to my account.   The envelope was postmarked from 90 Burnhamthorpe Road West, Mississauga, Ontario L5B3C3 and the letterhead said 11250 E. Colonial Dr. Orlando, FL.  Their Website seems quickly thrown together giving Illinios and Indiana offices.  The suntrust/miami account the check was written on was from the Florida Educational Credit Union.  Nothing adds up and I believe the Marketeers are just preying on the US unemployed for victims.

Scam Accusation

AUTHOR: Comprehensive Marketing - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, December 17, 2013

The only thing that makes sense is that someone or some company used our name and information to scam this individual. The phone number 1-866-439-0576 shows up as a number apparently used for many different types of scams/companies on the internet.

SCAM

AUTHOR: GeorgeV - (USA)

POSTED: Saturday, December 17, 2011

this scam has been around for years, the check is no good. initially your bank may say its good but a few days later it will be returned with a bad check fee and you will be out the money you western unioned and the 400 bucks.

dont believe me, just try and cash it.

NEVER EVER WESTERN UNION MONEY TO SOMEONE YOU DONT KNOW PERSONALLY.
