On 10-18-2011 I received mail with return address of: York Civic Centre, 2700 Elington Ave. W. Toronto ,OnM6M IVI. Enclosed was a letter with company name: Radius Global Market Research, 120 Fifth Ave. New York, NY 10011. Fax no: 1-905-364-5319. Also enclosed was a check from Hughes Federal Credit Union, PO Box 11900, Tucson, Arizona 85734. in the amount of $1,306.29. Basically this check is in payment of my working as a customer service evaluator, for this company. Instructions are to call my assigned training coordinator @ 1-718-247-9889 Ext 1 or 1-289-892-2802 for further clarification if I do not understand. However, if I do understand all the instructions, then I should go ahead and deposit this check. I was suspicious of this whole deal and to satisfy my own curiosity I called the Hughes Federal Credit Union in Tucson, Arizona. A credit union employee there told me this was in fact a "scam scheme" that has been going on for quite some time. They are still working on finding out where these scammers are operating out of.

On Oct 24, 2011 I also received a letter from Radius Global Market Research, 120 Fifth Ave, Ny Ny 10011. The envelope was posted from York Civic Centre, 2700 Eglinto Ave. W. Toronto, Ont. M6M 1V1 the check was from Fort Sill national Bank of Fort Sill, OK 73503. The check was for a mystery worker for the amount of $1306.29. I was to deposit this check into my account call the number (718) 247 9848 or 1800 381 9780 to get the instructions for where I was to western union money. I found this to be a bit unusual. Three different places sending a check??? Raised flags. I contacted the FSNB (Bank) and the directed me to bookkeeping, which the representative told me these were fradulent checks. They are sending me an envelope to forward back to the bank to be investigated.

BEWARE!!! DO NOT CASH THESE CHECKS. Contact the bank on the check.
