Pionneer Financial Services - Mark Allen I applied for a secret shopper job, the company sent me a check for $4,600 I stuck it in my savings and withdrew it the next day like they said, two days later my bank tels me the check was forged and I'mm responsible for the $4,600, even after I made a p0olice report. Mark said he would fix it and I never head from him again, now I get a message machine. Top it of I'm on disability. Evans Mills New York

I applied for a job online as a secret shopper, to earn a little extra cash as I'm on diability. A check, a job application, a letter, with instruction about the postion, they call the position Customer Service Evaluator. The letter said to deposit the check, and I only did so after looking into the company and the bank. My bank cleared the check within 24hrs. So I withdrew the money like the letter stated, went to western union and moneygram and picked Wal-Mart as the place to shop. I did everything this letter said to do. Mark the manager of this company called Pioneer Financial Services told me he was sending another check and he did by UPS. Meanwhile I look on-line and see that my account is overdrawn $4,600. The mail comes and bank tells me the check came back due to forgery, that's nice I said. I called my bank they ask me to come in, so I did and they begin to tell me that I am responsible for the $4,600 and there turning me into collections. No chance to make payments to the bank. Even though I don't believe this is my fault completely, the bank saw on thee computers as what I did, the money was there. Now I'm responsible, when this so called job made the first check so real. Now today 3-19-09 I open my mail and I have a letter from my bank of 6 years, they tell me there closing both my accounts, my atm card has already been deactivated. These people have now really put me into hardship. Top it off my disability checks went direct deposit to that bank. Totally unbelieveable what people will do for a little extra money. How they do know how to scam people, it's just not right for anyone, including the fixed income people such as myself.
