Might be a scam. GaryHawk (?) is trying to hire me as a "Customer Service Evaluator".
I received an unsolicited check in the mail for $2,979 of which I am to deposit into my Bank Account and send a $1997.00 by Western Union to a Kevin Davis located in London, UK, N22 7XQ. There are a number of scams that the checks are fake and your out the $1997. Investigate or report this to your Attorney General's Office.

I got the same letter and a check for $3422.00 .  I believe this is a scam also...watch out

I got a letter from McMillan Financial

A check for $2,494.57 from

McMillan James equipment company.
P.O. BOX 2415
Grapewire, Texas 76099.
(888)497-8413

do watch out for these scam.
NOTHING is free....

I received the same letter myself.  Although highly suspicious I called and spoke with a Peter who had a rather thick accent that was not southern at all.  He advised me to call back so that they could finish processing my grant award which totalled $50,000.  What did you learn?  Thanks

I just got a check in the mail today for $3738.00.  I am to go and shop at Wal-Mart, spend $100, check out the store, Probationary Training Day $500, Funds for Transaction at Western Union $2938.00, Service charge for WU $200.00.  The check says it is from Trane (the a/c people) and that it is processed and released by: Pitney Bowes Marketing Solutions.  One signature and there is space for 2 signatures.  I was very suspicious, taking check and letter and envelope to bank.  The phone numbers are fake.

Also the envelope has a post mark from Canada and a return address from Texas.......DUH!

Gwen,
this is definitely a scam. Someone else got the same letter, the address on it is a different business in Minnesota. You should let the Trane company know about this letter also.

YES WE RECIEVED THE SAME TYPE OF CHECK FOR THE SUM OF 2990.56 FROM A CO. CALLED M.A. BONGIOVANNI AGENCY I LOOKED THEM UP ON THE NET AND THEY ARE A GENERAL CONTRACTOR IN NEW YORK,....TOLD US TO SPEND $100.00 AT WALMART,HOME DEPOT ECT. THEN SEND THE REST TO SOMEONE IN LONDON THE THING THAT BUGGED ME THE MOST WAS THEY HAD THE RIGHT ZIP CODE BUT THE WRONG CITY AND STATE ON OUR ADDRESS AND ALSO LIKE THE OTHERS THE POST MARK IS CANADA AND A SYRACUSE ,NY RETURN IT STATED THAT WE SHOULD HURRY IT DEPENEDED ON IT?? WELL IM SURE GLAD IM JUST A LITTLE PARRANOID THANK YOU GUYS FOR POSTING YOUR STORIES I HOPE MINE ALSO HELPS SOMEONE. THESE PEOPLE SHOULD BE THROWN IN A DARK HOLE AND FORGOT FOR THIS CRAP.

I got exactly the same thing.  A check for $2990.56 with the requirement that I spend $100 at WalMart, Home Depot K-Mart etc.  Then I was to send via Western Union $2,290.56 to either a Elvira Esquirel in New York or Eddie Gray in London.  They also had the wrong City and State but the right Zip code.  I agree with ssearcy68 that these jerks should be put in a dark cell and throw away the key.

Thanks everyone for all your comments. I received a letter today, unsolicited and with a check for $2678.00, telling the same senario to go shop a Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Sears, JC Penny or Best Buy and spend $100 to become a secret shopper and then go to Western Union and transfer funds (as training) to Amy Shirley in New York and Amandeu Canto in London, New York. I wasn't sure what to think until I read your comments.

My letter says that it cam from NAC Market Research @ 3900 Old Intl Airport Rd., Anchorage, AK 99502-1009

The return address is : T.T.G & G.A.R
                       P.O. Box 5623
                       Station B
                       Bellvil. CA

And the date on the letter and check are a month old.

Thanks for the heads up and I hpoe this helps someone else.

Thank you guys, you saved me a lot of expense and trouble.  I received the same letter from Wrangler Apparel Corp. for $2,670.00.  I am supposed to spend the money at Walmart, K-Mart, Homedepot, Sears, JCPenny and Best Buy. This is supposed to be a test for a Mystery Shopper job.  The first thing my husband said is check the phone no. and the company, and sure enough it is a scam.  That's weird because the Wrangler Apparel appears to be a legitimate.  Once again Thanks.  By the way the stamp is from Canada and I'm to send $1,990.00 to a Donna Davis and George Garson at Western Union in New York.

I almost fell for this but figured since I'm looking for a job that this would be something interested in doing now I have the check in my account and waiting for it to clear after reading all these posts I hope it doesn't. Today I went to the police station and asked who do I talk to about money laundring and they said I'm on my own discretion I guess they didn't want to catch the guy. Ill be back on Tuesday to see what's up.

I RECEIVED A LETTER AS WELL AND A CHECK FOR 3,178.00 AND A OFFER AS A MYSTERY SHOPPER TOO..AND I FELL FOR IT!! I PLANNED ON CASHING THE CHECK UNTIL I READ EVERYONE'S STORIES..THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME THE HUMILIATION AND EMBARASSMENT OF GOING TO CASH THIS FAKE CHECK!!! BUT I PLANNED ON USING THE MONEY FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS....THEY SHOULD BE PUNISHED FOR THIS SCAM!!!

DID THAT MEAN THAT YOU CASHED THE CHECK, AND ALKSO RECEIVED A GRANT FOR $50,000 ALSO AND NOTHING HAPPENED TO YOU?  I HAVE BEEN OFFERED A JOB WHICH IS EASY AND SOUNDS INTERESTI.NG

WHEN I PHONED THE PHONE NUMBER ON THE INSTRUCTION PAPER I WAS CONCERNED THAT I WOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE MONEYS I WAS TO WESTERN UNION TO SOMEONE IN NEW YORK NEW YORK,  I ASKED WHAT WOULD I RECEIVE THAT WOULD NOT HOLD ME RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MONEY IF IT WAS NOT RECEIVED OR PICKED UP BY SAID PERSON.  I WAS TOLD NOT TO WORRY BUT MOST LIKELY MY NEXT ASSIGNMENT WOULD BE TO GO BACK TO WESTERN UNION AND RETREIVE THE MONEY AND SEE WHAT TYPE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE I WOULD GET.  ALSO I WOULD BE PAID $400.00 PER WEEK AFTER 3 MONTHE $480.00 PER WEEK .  NOT SURE IF THAT INCLUDED THE MONEY TO SHOP .  HELL IT SOUND LIKE A GOOD DEAL TO ME.

I also recieved a check for the amount of 4,980 and it was an fraud I carried it to the bank and they told me. Mines came from Wrangled Apparel Corp. I truly think something need to be done about these people. I had to call Susan Peterson or Richard Young.

So did anyone deposit the check? Did it clear? Is this for real?

Look out for ckecks from GLOBAL COMMISSION PAYMENTS !The check # is the same as the route #. My letter had a address of Annapolis,MD.but the zip code is 46207.Letter had NO return address,but  had a Canada 1.00 stamp

SO WHAT EVER HAPPENED. DID YOU GET IN TROUBLE, DID THE CHACK NOT CLEAR, OR WHAT?

I haven't received a letter from that same exact number, but I got a check in the mail for $3,250. The company Prescorps Inc, said I was supposed to conducted a survey at a Western Union. Take $300 for my pay and wire the rest to a dude in London. This is so scandalous, where's the cyber police? Yes, and this website is wonderful for the people who are naive and need some reassurance on not being a fool.
