   I received a legitimate looking letter head with a job offer to become a Customer Service Evaluator. I had been looking into a lot of different Internet companies to make extra money in these hard times and they referenced a recent job search I had made so I thought it was a great opportunity.


   Well I deposited their real looking check into my account, waited two days, saw the funds thinking the check cleared then made the required withdraws that were outlined in the instructions of their letter. I kept my $400 training pay and payed some of my debts. I took $2845 to Western Union and sent it to Cindy Sweeten in London England as instructed and evaluated the customer service I received. Then filled out the Market Response form and faxed it to my Research Agent Rick Zugala. I then proceeded to the second assignment. Went to Wal-Mart and spent $100 on what ever I wanted then filled out another Market Response form and faxed it in just as the first one. I was told that I would recieve my next assignment in a couple days by mail. Never recieved it!


   Now my bank called and told me there is a problem with the check. The account doesn't exist and now I'm over $3,000 in the hole in my savings account. I tried to act fast so i called Western Union to try and stop the Transaction but I was too late!


What can i do to recover these funds?

Common Scam

AUTHOR: Sara - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, December 01, 2009

Unfortunately you have fallen victim to one of the more common scams running around these days, the "Mystery Shopper"

 

The scammers troll the internet job sites and look for folks such as yourself.  Your money is gone, I would suggest talking to your bank and asking if they will let you work out a payment plan to repay the negative balance.

Any time you are either instantly hired for a job without any type of face to face interview, are paid up front, and are asked to use Western Union or Moneygram to send money back, you are about to be taken.
