I received a letter from a company called Mart Research & Services, Inc. from New York, NY & a check for $3,840.00 offering a part time Mystery Shopper position with evaluation sheets to be completed after the "mystery shop" assignments to fax to the research co. The letter was instructing me to deposit the check, keep $300 as probation pay, spend $100 at a selected retail store & wire the remaining to individuals listed in the letter (Amy Gravel, Anthony Cohen, Helen Thomas, Bernard Young, Theo Matins & Angelica Newman-all of New York, NY).
It also states if you complete these assignments, your pay will be increased to $500 a week for three months, $800 thereafter. The letter was signed by Andrew Kleenan, Director of human resources. I knew something wasn't right. The letter looked & was written very professionally, except "human resources" was not capaltilized. I went online to do some checking on the company, Dept of Revenue, Better Business Bureau, ect. Could find any info.
So I then did some googling on Mystery Shoppers & found a link to this website from a report filed from a woman who received a very similar letter, but the company was "Holiday Temporay Services, Inc. The company name on the check she received was the same as on the one I received "KDFS LLC" PO Box 560845 Dallas, TX (couldn't find any info on this company either).

Trying to contact Bank listed on check
AUTHOR: Peggy - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, December 09, 2008
I have tried a few times to contact the bank that is listed on the check. One World Bank Dallas, TX. I found the bank's website & phone number. I called one morning & got voice mail (after hours) which it appeared from the time difference the bank was not opened yet. I called again twice throughout the day, and the phone just rang & no recording or voice mail came on. I will keep trying to contact the bank.
