K 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!!!

It took the bank a week to verify the ck, it ended up charging me $12 for returning it. BofA never gave me the funds to begin with, which was good, was never going to use them anyway. I am in a business of sorts anyway so if anyone wants to get in on a grand deal go here: http://www.centurionwealthcircle.com/?beblessed1

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 received a letter with a Canadian post mark dated July 29,2011 It was fro M.S.S. Surveys4Income. I was instructed to contact Mr. Timothy Bowen, the officer who is to guide me through the Probation Training Task (PTT).  A $2,994.00 check was enclosed from the PNC Bank signed by the Remitter, Stephanie Leonard and an Official Signature from Krystal Greene.

It went on further to explain how I am to spend this money as a n employee of the company as a secret shopper. Among the store "assignments were two(2) money transfers from Money Gram and Western Union respectively.  $300.00 (PTT); $50.00 at Wal*mart; $50.00 at Sears; McDonalds or Wendy's -lunch bonus; $1,320.00plus $80.00 transfer fee at Money Gram and $1,120.00 at Western Union.

A disclaimer was included stating due to a confidentiality agreement established with their clients, our secret shopper identity should not be revealed and that I should act in accordance with the Employee Code of Ethics.
