one day i got a letter in the mail with a check. i called the number since i had heard of being a secret shopper before. i actually know someone who does this for a living. so i thought it was alright. therefore, i called the number and followed my manager's instructions. then after i got off the phone, i said to my husband, "how many people of arabic background have the name Joe Johnson?" i began to think that it was not legal. however, i took the check to the bank. they put a 7 day hold on it to make sure it would clear. well it did clear. so i thought there was no problem. however, my bank cleared the check before there was actually money in the account. i do not see why a bank would do that, for this is there business. i've had a good relationship with the bank. it's not like they don't know me. so if they deal with fake checks, all the time, i was relying on the savy bank workers to put a stop on the actual money if it were bad or a scam. however they did not. when it all went through, and the bank okayed the transaction, i just knew i had a job that i liked, shopping. however, this is a scam. when we went to the bank to get out money from our retirement check, the bank had put a hold on the check and then told us we were scammed. my husband and i are victums and they preyed on people who are in retirement. i was assured that this would be a retirement job. my husband is 74 years old and i am not young either. between this knowledge of secret shopper as being a real job, the bank and the trust that i had in them to know what's out there, and then this place representing themselves as a real business, i thought we were okay. however we were not. with all the back-ups and dealing with a long time bank (credit union) for a long time, we thought were doing the right thing to help supplement out income in retirement. $1894.70 was the total amount of the check. we sent $1390 to amber aristondo in the U.K. London, England. and the manager's name is Joe Johnson, the director of operations is Cynthia Spencer. i am going to get our money back. i am going to take legal action against them. to ask how could they do that to people? well people are scandalous. and now i know why i was suspisious when there was a man of arabic discent with an american name. this is what i get for being trusting, tolerant, not profiling because of race, and generally trusting someone.
