It IS a total scam !! I too rec'd the ck in the same amount. the ck seemed legit, so I called the bank to verify.  Customer Service told me while the ck would be one issued by one of their branches, the routing number is completely wrong AND the account number was a closed account.

IT IS A SCAM!!!!!  Do not deposit the check or wire them any funds. The check is fraudulant and if you sign the check and deposit it, YOU will be responsible for repaying the bank when it comes back on them.  The grammar and spelling in the accompying letter are bad and could not possibly come from a legitimite business, plus the $ amounts on the letter do not add up. If something sounds too good to be true....It is!

I just recieved a check in the  mail from this company M S S Surveys4Income written April 20, 2011 im suppose to talk to Timothy Bowen, dont think it so I think i calling the bank on the check and see what they will do.   I hate these because i really am looking for a job and its hard for a person who is in her late 50s to fine one. and start her life over after a 32 years of marrage.

I thought this was too good to be true.

i too got this check from mss surveys4income. my check is for 2994.00 i asked a question to this Tim bowen ,:"the check i send to western union and money gram where do they go to? he said that After you deposit the check i will tell you and direct you how to do that   to me i thought that it may work out IF and only IF you deposit the check and have your bank put a hold on it till it clears CLEARS then you get your money otherwise you spend the check and will be responsible for it and the overages onthe purchases that you have  bought// my check is draawn on a SUFFOLK federal credit union bank inN.Y.

Thank you ! I thought it was too good to be true ..and the guy doesn't sound as if his name should be Timothy Bowen!! Could not even understand him!!!I got the letter and called the number!!! TOTAL SCAM!!!
