Global Test Market Scam

My dearest Elderly mother has bEen receive phone calls for about two months by a man name Dewayne Williams. I know the. Name is fake. He cursed he when she refused to give the rest of her information gave her sad story about his personal life. Told her she won a lot of money that she still waits for today My mother has a lot of health problems in which getting worse. Because of the re appearing of phone calls global need s to screen their people like I'm. Going teach my mother to screen her calls I wish this will stop.  How desperate and sick a person can be

So if they are so legit, why don't they pay out redeemed points and why don't they respond to ANY e-mails I send to them?????

For four decades I have heard it over and over. Nothing Is Free. You get what you pay for. If it's too good to be true, then it probably is !  How often does this type of thing have to happen before people finally get it !  I get SO TIRED of my wife coming to me with the same crap, thinking she found a "Get Rich Quick" gimmick. THIS ONE INCLUDED !  She got the same check for $3990.00 thinking she was going to get the money BEFORE she even did anything. WAKE UP PEOPLE ! Nothing replaces hard work, except working smart, which includes thinking smart. If these TV millionaires were so good at what they were doing, why are they on TV trying to sell their "Get Rich Quick" systems ? Because they don't work, and when they do, it helps only a very few. Do you REALLY think they have our best interests at heart ? NO, they are making money selling stupid systems to SUCKERS !  P.T Barnum really knew what he was talking about. Yet, there are still those that haven't learned from others mistakes........and if you do fall for it, then consider yourself to have LEARNED THE HARD WAY !

On October 12, 2010 did the market recovery of 1025 points to date have not received my check, I thought it was serious, but marketpoint is just a joke. I spent a year answering surveys for nothing. And when I come in contact I received no reply.GLOBAL TEST MARKET = FARCE

this crap happens in my junk mail i blow a whistle when i get phone calls

I received a check today for 3990.00 and I was a bit wary because there was no return address on the envelope and I always throw them directly in the garbage. I called and Taylor informed me that the company is legit and I was to keep 25.and sent the bulk to Western Union. Although the 800 number does not work....go figure

I just received a letter today from Global Test Market. I haven't had any relation with the company before but they request that I become a mystery shopper in my area. They include the check for $3990.00 and give a breakdown of how that money has to be used. Pretty sure you have to western union the majority of the money back to them and then you get about $200 for each participation. It is definitely strange from the get go, A Canadian stamp and an American address?!? who wouldn't find that strange. I don't know how they got my info but I will check back with them to see who they are when I have time. Another strange thing is that they sent the letter to my old address at my parents house. Name at the bottom of the letter is Joseph (Joe) Corning - Group Project Director. The name at the bottom of the check is not very legible but is entirely different. The Check is by Cannon FCU which is located in New Mexico. The routing number on the check is 312270023 which is the correct routing number for Cannon FCU.

I too recvd an envelope with no return address and a Canadian stamp. I usually trash them but somehow I opened this one. A cashier’s check for $3,990 and a letter with some instruction of how to handle the money and were to call to get more information. I did call and the lady "Lisa" said that everybody was out for lunch; she took my number and name and promised that somebody will get back at me .No one had called me by 8:00 pm, so I called them back and left a message. No one called me the next day, I called them back, the same lady "Lisa" answered the phone went over some details of what I should be doing with the cashier’s check. First go to my bank and cash the check ASAP and call her back she needed to give me instruction of where to wire the money to ($3,690) via Western Union. she was worried that I would have that kind of cash on me , so she suggested to give her a call at 10:00 pm when I told her I don't get off work until late, She said no problem, just to call her as soon as I cash the chk. It didn't sound right, I had that feeling so I started checking online, and I am soooooooooo glad that I did.

As a former mystery shopper and one who has done mystery shopping and paid surveys for years, I have to defend this company to a degree. I am not sure what company is sending out the checks but it is NOT Global Test Market. I haven't used their point system and surveys for a while, but they use to pay out for points, as I know of many who actually received checks from them. Having said that, I haven't gotten any surveys from Global Test Market in a long time, I prefer other companies

Always use caution if you want to do Mystery Shopping or get paid for surveys. NOONE will ever  ask for payment up front. The check scam is a well known one, and has been around for a long time. You will never get something for nothing. You will never have to pay money up front to a legit mystery shopping company (although you can take certification exams that do cost). You also have to pay nothing, and do nothing with any check for legit companies other than checks sent to you for your time and effort. If you have to wire money anywhere... that should IMMEDIATELY be a red flag. It seems like someone may be using a previously legit company name for bad now, and that is sad. But.. always err on the side of caution. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

There is a difference between Global Test Market online and the letter I received today.  Most definately if you get a letter regarding being a Mystery Shopper at Wal-Mart and Western Union it is a scam.

Just received a check for $3,990.00 from Global Test Market in the mail today. Glad I researched the company. I also search the better business web site, and found no such company  exist in Stamford, CT. Time arehard, and people are trying to make ends meet. This is not the time to be scammed out of what little funds we do have. To you, Mr. Joseph Coring, I hope you rote in HELL!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got a check today for $3990.00.  Never opened these letters that just seem like spam, but today I did.  The check is "real" and I probably could go cash it for the money if I didn't immediately realize it was a scam!!!!  There were a few things that alerted me to the fact that this was fraud.... one is that the letter if from CT and the check from Vegas and the then the kicker is that it was stamped from Canada. What I really want to know is how they got my info. Also, I have done surveys online from Global Test Market and I did actually receive a $50 check, cashed and everything no problem. Dont know who this "company" is tho.  These people are obviously making money for it to be going on this long. Such a shame.

I feel like wiping my butt after a good session in the bathroom and mailing it back to them!

I received one of those scam checks today, dozens of red flags that it wasn't legit.  And there is only one way they got my name.  The phone book!   That is the only place I have my name spelled as it appeared on the check.

I got one too and made the mitake of depositing check. But after reading this I called my bank about scam. My bank said if it clears, it's up to me to call back and report scam. If it bounces, I guess I owe a fee or something but my bank will waive fee after I talk with Fraud Dept. Since they have caused all this trouble, I'm hoping it clears so I can spend it and spread the love to everyone here! LOL

I did see some red flags like stamp and no return address and wondering how they got my address but still hoping it was somehow legit.

I made the mistake of cashing the check today but they said all departments for fraud at my bank are closed for the night. D: I'm seriously scared that the 3,990 will somehow bounce or they'll get my information from the bank. Is there anything I can do? Please help me!
I should have researched first but my roomie convinced me to cash the check after speaking to a representative. I should have seen a red flag and tossed the envelope but I was pretty desperate due to medical bills...
