| I recieved a check in the mail november 21, 2011 from consumer survey research organization I read the letter it came in because I was wondering why I got the check for such a big amount of $1,986.67. The letter said that it was for a survey and that i should use 200.00 of the money to do surveys at stores listed and kepp 400.00 foe employee pay it also stated that I send 1200.00 back to the company and yes I thought It was wierd but I figured they was trying to c if I was a loyal person to work with. i am so upset that some sone could be so thought less and selfish and I wan't to be sure that my voice is heard i think this company should be stopped. |

| I just received a similar correspondence today. The check looks very real. The catch is that they are purportedly giving you money and want you to turn around and send 90% of it back to the company. With western union, there is no way to really track who is actually getting money and by the time you send it, you realize that the check they gave you is a phony check. It never ceases to amaze me how slick these con operations are getting. They seem to prey upon the unemployed who are seeking gainful employment and those with very little equity. |

| I just got one today in the mail from America's Research Group, LTD with a Cashier's Check for $1975.55. Check looks so real when I read the letter over and over again, just didn't make sense so I was temped to call my bank and ask if the check was real. I knew it wasn't. You all know the saying, " If it's too good to be true, it probably isn't". I worked for legit mystery shopping companies and this is nothing like that. Shame they prey on people in this economy. |

Hey, Bloodman, I got you beat.
I received a check from the same company today 6/24/12 for $1, 979.95.
I guess I can book a vacation.
I hope some goverment or police agencies can put stop to these scammers.
When I got the check I was skeptical but I want to believe looking at the check so real |

| Same deal, got a check for $2672.23, deposited it into my account, figured I had to wait a few days due to the amount and the out of state check. Talked to my bank today, my account has been closed because it's a COUNTERFEIT CHECK. I had to go open a new account, fix my direct deposit with my work, and generally deal with a major hassle. My fault for not doing enough research, but the South Carolina Credit Union is real, and so is America's Research Group web site, so I figured the worst that would happen was that it would be an NSF check and be rejected by my bank, not counterfeit. I think I need to contact the FBI, but I'd better wait until I get the check back from the bank. I called the number on the paperwork and Robert Mason, the contact person, told me he would "get back to me as soon as he found out what was going on." Yeah right. My own fault for not doing enough research, and the lesson as always, if something seems too good to be true, it usually is... |
