Global Test Market Scam

Before you make people do fake surveys from your boiler rooms, try improving your spelling and grammar.If people want to do a survey, there are plenty of surveys available online or offline. They don't have to listen to your buffalo crap.

Global Test Market are piece of [***],i got offered a mystery shopper position they send you checks, some actually clear at the bank and when one of them bounce your screwed i called back a guy named Mark White he told me that he would pay back the bounced check and 250.00 for compensation. He told me to come in for a interview which i did, found out their was no such location tried calling him but no answer..... these [***] should get life in jail for defrauding people.

i am now is asked to complete some surveys..from some guys who is claiming they ar working in Majestic Market research company...

and when i opened the research i find it from global test market..and they are telling me that they will pay with paypal..not checks..is there a real global test company ..and some guys are using the name only?? i am confused

I just recieved a letter and a check from Global Test Market. For some reason I felt that it was too good to be true and it came whe I really needed christmas shopping money. I decided to check it out for myself before I cashed the check to see if it was real or was I being played. I first looked it up on my phone and found out that it might be a scam, then went to the cokmputer to verify my findings. Sure enough its a scam and as disappointed as I am that the check isn't real, I'm glad that I found out it was all a scam. Now I can honestly put my opinion down and let others know not to fall for this company. The name I received was

I decided to check it out for myself before I cashed the check to see if it was real or was I being played. I first looked it up on the computer to verify my findings. Sure enough its a scam and as disappointed as I am that the check isn't real, I'm glad that I found out it was all a scam.

The scam wants you to deposit the check in your bank account and then go to Wal-Mart, purchase a Money Pack for $863. They get the $863 and in about 10 days you will get notice from your bank that the check is counterfeit.

        They are using this companies name to scam unsuspecting victims.There is a legitimate company by this name that sends out emails and has you complete surveys on line. You have to register with this company to participate and you get paid $50 after you earn 1000 points.

Dont waste your time with this scammer company. I have filled out countless surveys lately and spend 30- 60 minutes answering tedious questions and THEN get screened out of the survey at the VERY end!!!. WASTE of time and in 5 years I have NEVER "won" a sweepstakes" that is offered as an incentive for answering ridiculous survey questions. Go elsewhere... BIG scam!

Call your local Attorney General but I am affraid your kind of out of luck as these guys are usually based in a country that does not care because they are getting money infused into their govn structure. Just try to live the rest of your life by the idea that nothing is free and if it sounds too good to be true....it is. No one is going to send you free money and those checks are worthless my friend.

most surveys (online, popups and phone calls) are trying to get your personal and financial imformation to sell to debt collectors, telemarketers and anyone that will pay. so if you want to start getting more phone calls give away your info..

I was also just scammed and not proud of it.  I can't believe how stupid I was.  I am reporting it to the police along with the letter and the check.  I don't know what else to do but I want the scum off the streets.  May they spend the money on hospital bills.

I got a "check" for $985 today. I sensed scam when I saw the header was from Connecticut, the bank is in Texas, and the letter came from Canada...come on. I double checked on the net, I came to this site, and saw exactly what my intuition had told me...SCAM. When you see a check like this in your mailbox just shred it. Not worth the pain and suffering a lot of people have gone through already.

I received a check in the mail with a Canadian post with no return address. The check was for 985.00. There was the phone # 1-888-389-5360 or 416-276-2869 with the address of 1100 112th Av 1351 Washington Blvd. Suite 5000 Stamford, CT 06902. I did speak with a Daniel at GTM, which he was very convincing that it was all legit. I did tell him that I will verify the check was legit before I cashed it, he said he understand and that it was okay, and GTM is registered with the BBB..blah, blah, blah..,.The check was for Complex Community Federal Credit Union. I googled the credit union, which does exist. I spoke with the banker and she confirmed after I supplied the the acct, routing and chk# that it was indeed fraud. So after I confirmed with the Credit Union it was bogus, I called Daniel and told him that I confirmed the check was fake, he hung up in my face, and I attempted to call him back, and was directed to voice mail.  I noticed this feed goes back to 2010, it is 2013 that means these folks has been doing this for a while.

This check is going into file 13.

Thanks again!

Applied for mystery shopper Feb 2013.  Got a USPS letter envelop containing 2 pages letter from GTM and a check for 1,....00.  The Bank address is missing.  Letter telling me to deposit check INTO MY CHECKING ACCOUNT! and to keep $200 and Western Union the rest with a report of my service observations.  Then, get an email from Michael Ward (THE VERY NEXT DAY)  in subject line saying"FINAL WARNING" accusing me of stealing funds (that I have not taken or deposited).  The tone of the email was very threatening.  Wrote back telling them I am uncomfortable participating in this and where to send  this so called 'kit' back to via USPS otherwise I will forward to an attorney.

Here is an email I rec'd  today..

"I don't know what you are up to with the sudden silence over the completion of your first assignment, we sent you series of email informing you about the payment and instructions on how to go about your assignment,but you have ceased to respond to all communication(email and phone) as soon as funds got delivered to you.

You should be aware of the fact that we have check and balances put in place to deal with this type of situation,we cant commit huge amount of money into your hands without knowing how to track and make you face the full wrath of the law if you decide to make away with funds committed into you hands.You can never abscond with the company's funds and if that is your intention.You will face the penalty squarely,kindly get back to me within 24 hours with the necessary details of the transfer and your evaluation report.

I will await your urgent response within 24 hours or else all email communication and your personal information will be forwarded through our legal department to the local law enforcement agent in your area (and if necessary the FBI) for prosecution.

All our effort to contact you on phone has proved abortive,we will be making formal report by the end of today if you fail to complete your assignment.

All the best
