I was so happy to open a check with 1,989.70 they wanted to to go to western union and send 1,580 to someone in london ??? then go to any of there stores a buy things This company came from Philadephia,PA Bankers conseco performance assurance company  Fax number 1-877-1972   there number being 1-(289) 892-5963  my husband put the check in the account not knowing   now we are going to bank tonight to see what I can do to stop it!! Any one eles be scamed by the same company

i received an email from these folks, they sent me a check for $3000.00. i checked with my bank & they said it was not any good. so i said fine. i had not lost anything. the next few days they sent another one, same story. thankfully i did not deposit any of it by checking with the bank 1st. Today 8/27/09, someone called me wanting to know about the agreement. i simply sent a copy to the fax # on the letter dated 7/28/09, job ID# B2299. there is never anyone to take a phone call. i also called the landmark bank in manhattan, ks. they also said it was a fraud.  i keep copies of every thing that i get from the internet. so much of it is fraud & i usually simply delete but watch out for the name difference when another comes thru.  phone # is1-(289) 892-3358 & fax #206-984-0592 on this letter i have. you also need to be alert to requests for help, lottery wins, inheritance etc. from places in Africa & other asian locations. i am glad i found this. the day the check came i was in a hurry & did not have time to check the computer.  best of luck to all of you.  JUST BE CAREFULL ABOUT WHAT YOU ANSWER ON THE NET THAT SOUNDS TOO CALL TO BE TRUE.

I got a letter from NATIONAL SHOPPING SERVICE, stating i'd been selected as a mystery shopper and a check for $2,995.00 was with it. The letter stated $600 was for me, for my evaluation and training pay, $100 to be used toward purchase at Sears, $100 to be used towards purchase at Walmart, and $1,995 to be wired at a Western Union to a woman name Louise Flanary in London.
Even though I knew something didn't smell right, I wanted it to be true so I used the web address and sure enough it was to NATIONAL SHOPPING SERVICE.
The address, city, state and zip code, all matched, but then I noticed the phone number was completely different.
I read there cite and was amused to find out they don't mail out check's just like that.
YOU "the shopper" have to come out of pocket on the assignment, send them the receipt, and they reimburse you, and it can take several weeks for them to do so!
I knew right away some one was trying to scam me.
The check looked legit. It had JP Morgan Chase Bank, NA  Syracuse, NY., and NOCO ENERGY CORP FUELS DIVISION  2440 SHERIDAN DR  TONAWANDA, NY 14150.
I wonder if the company named on the check is aware of this,or if they're a part of the scam.
Why is it so hard to nab the scammers, when they have names of suspects from the wire to forms?

I got this Malteurop letter today. And being only 14, I freaked out, right? So I told a couple of my friends, but told them that it might be a scam (I may be a meer teenager, but I'm pretty mature for my age and I've got street smarts... and television). Because I'm familiar with the whole scam deal. So I calmed myself down, and read the entire letter over and over again. With all of the contact information and simple directions, I thought it might actually be good enough to be true! But from the start, I was a little uneasy about that whole transfer thing. Why don't they just keep that money in the first place. With the check for $3,000 and no fees on my part, I was pretty excited. I called "Jennifer Morgan" a few times with no answer. I was still super stoked. But I decided to check it up on line. Apparantly, google isn't as good as yahoo :) So I found this site! THANK GOD!! How much is a bounce fee anyway? It stinks... I wish it was real! I felt like a secret agent!! And the check looks SO real! It looks just like the checks my sister gets from her job. Whats funny, is that when I looked up "Malteurop" on google, it was a BEER company. With the same logo and everything. ???? That was confusing. But its good they have this website. I was almost convince that I was a secret shopper. Thanks guys!!!!
