spoke to Mike who sent me a check from Chase for $1950 offering a position as customer service evaluator (secret shopper).  The check was bogus and so is the company - Skylan Group Services, 8020 King Eider Dr., Richmond VA  23231, 647-836-0330, fax 416-961-4188.  Letter was signed by Debra Green

I never received a phone call, but got a letter today from the afore mentioned "Debra" and a cashier's check from J P MORGAN Chase Bank for 1950.00!!!

I just received a letter from them, I figured something was wrong! So, I thought I would check on it first, before actually trying to do this. I'm glad I did! I have never heard of these people. I figured they were a scam!
I too received a check for $1950.00!

I just recieved a check for $2990. How do you know if it's bogus?

Got a check in the mail for $3600-Skylan Group Services..Same adress different phone no:1-800-631-8601 or 1-647-830-5079 and the Fax No:1-416-961-4188 and the signer is Debra Green .When I told the CSR that I am going to record the call he just hung up on me...Bogus...

I didn't even get a call, they just sent me the check for$3600.00 and told me I was Hired if I completed the two hour training in 48 hours. They have a different ph# also: 1-800-631-8601; also 1-647-830-5079. customer service number is listed as 1-647-836-0330. Thanks to whoever started the site, but I knew it was not a valid offer.

Just received a letter yesterday with no forwarding address on it..addressed to me. I opened it there was a(cashiers) check in there for 3,600.00 wasiting for me to cash. It stated that I had been selected to become one of their representatives(posin as a secret shopper) and giving me assignments to shop stores. I called 1-800-631-2601 and spoke to a Mike Woodson and he told me to go to my bank and cash this check 1st thing in the morning and call him back the minute I do it. It all sounds bogus to me and I did not do it. I typed in the company name and up pops this...boy, I tell ya, some peoples kids. Pretty sad that these people are so low as to try and steal others idenity. Do yourself and others a favor and get a life!!!

I got a letter today said that I was a customer service evaluator. Paid 175 a hour the check was for 1950. I called they said to call back on Tuesday business hours, I guess they noticed that I worked for a Sheriff Department so they hung up. So I also called US Bank they said not to cash it. Check signed by Debra Green. They are so bogus to bad it's not true.... LOL these people need help.

I too received a bogus check today.  I knew it was a scam immediately!! The check was in the amount of $3600.00, which includes, $400 training pay, 50$ sears purchase, $40 Wal mart purchase, $2975.00 MoneyGram/Western Union Transfer to a Natalie Akers in houston Texas, and a $135.00 Service Charge for Western union.  The key to noticing this was a scam is they misspelled "Complete" (Commplete). In addition, this was on a certified letter head and someone will always contact you by phone if you are hired to work for them.

I also got a letter and check from them, went to my bank showed them the letter and the check, they advised me to add it to my account and see if it goes through. A few days later the check was approved and I started doing what they asked of me. Checked again with wells fargo, they said they had no problems with the check. So I am 350.00 richer. They sent me a letter, I got  no phone call.

It worked for me!

I never received a phone call, but got a letter today with no return postal address; my address was poorly handwritten.  Got a check in the mail for $3600-Skylan Group Services. Address 8020 King Eider Dr, Richmond, VA 23231.  Phone no:1-800-631-8601 or 1-647-830-5079 and the Fax No:1-416-961-4188 and the signer is Debra Green.  As tempting as this sounds, I will not do it.  There was no W-9 paperwork or information requested other than shopping at Wal-Mart and Sears; and only completing a form regarding the Money Gram's representative, how they greeted you, their mannerism, and how they dress...come on now???  The money gram receiver's name was Isabel De La Rua in Texas.

are you telling the truth? out of all these people that said they would not do it, only 1 person fell for this scam... or it this the same person who started this company!!!!!

I received a letter from York Group Services and a check for 1950.00.  Obviously I was suspicious since the check was from Chevy Chase Bank in Md the letter from Florida with a Canadian stamp.  I did not contact them of course just looked up their phone and found this website.

I too received a letter and check from Skylan Group Services for $3,600.00. They misspelled my name (the very nerve!). Interesting to note the envelope had a 93 cent stamp on it from Canada. The hand written name on the envelope was correct. I called the U.S. Bank Fraud Liaison Center at 1-877-595-6256 and read the account number on the check. They confirmed no such number exists. I now told it becomes a Federal offense and should take the letter and envelope to the Post Office.

I received a check for 1950 as well and Im an idiot and did it and got screwed out of that money.  If anyone knows how to get these [***] lets do it.

my sister got the same check and went to cash it at us bank and thay said no way so she went to her bank and spoke with them and thay said it was ok if it cleard and it did 3600$ thay also told her she could spend it however she wanted and the company had no recorse....

I did the same. My envelope had the Canadian stamp, no return address, and I noticed no postmark from the post office when it went thru. I called the numbers 1-866-918-4482 and 1-647-830-5079 which comes on in French after the english message. I contacted Chevy Chase FSB, they exsist as a very large bank. I emailed them with routing and account number on this $1950 piece of paper to see if it is real.

This is from the email from Chevy Chase Bank. Don't cash these bogus checks. The fraud liason called it a 'Nigerian Scam'. The bank is aware of the checks and says it comes around every three years.

Thank you for your e-mail dated 2/3/2008, inquiring about a Chevy Chase Bank cashier's check.

Our records do not show that this is a legitimate Chevy Chase Bank cashier's check.  Please contact Barbara Brissett in our Security Department at 301-939-6617 for further assistance.  I apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused.

This should help any who would be tempted by this scam.
