    Ladies & Gentlemen,

    Global test Market is indeed a SCAM. let me tell you MY story.
    I was at the YMCA applying online for all sorts of Jobs, I came across this add for MYSTERY SHOPPER for WESTERN UNION. a few hours after applying for this job, I received a phone call from MARK WHITE. We had a brief conversation about the position. He said he was going to send me an "information package" ...a few days later I received this package in the mail. In this package was a Welcome latter, along with an Employment Offer, as well as several survey forms. AND...A cheque in THE aMOUNT OF $995.00, The letter attached to the Chq stated that I must contact my Team Lead to have these funds released before I did my Western Union Survey. so I did. My gut instinct told me this was "TOO EASY" so I placed a call to the Metro Police to find out if this was FRAUD. They told me NOTHING was coming up in they're system and to go ahead and cash the Chq and that should any of the Chq's have any issues to file a Police report...so Off I went to the bank....over the course of that week several FED EX'D packages arrived at my apartment, each of them with Chq's in different amounts. At the End of that week I got a call from the manager at my bank, stating he needed to speak with me Immediately. When I got to the bank the news was BAD...ALL of the chq's had returned as COUNTERFIT. Immedaitely after this meeting with the Bank, I walked into a local Police Station to FILE A POLICE REPORT that I was advised to do by an METRO POLICE OFFICER, only to find out that the Police would NOT file the report because I WAS NOT THE VICTIM--MY BANK WAS THE VICTIM. So upon returning home, I immedaitely contacted my lawyer. He advised me that there was a good chance that I was going to be arrested and charged with FRAUD! and....I WAS.....lucky for me i had kept ALL letters of Surveys, The Employment Offer, and the WESTERN UNION TRANSACTION RECEIPTS...cause that's what Saved my ass! the Police have advised me that this is one of the BIGGEST international FRAUD SCAMS GOING ON!!! the FBI is Investigating, so be advised People...GLOBAL TEST MARKET IS FRAUD!!!!!!!!!!

    well I wasn't as smart as the rest of you and  now I'm in allot of trouble because I don't have the money to pay my bank back $550.00...being a full time student and mother of 4 boys..I used that money to pay on some utility bills I was behind on  and buy grocery's..my ex has been late on his child and spousal support so I thought it was a blessing for all the praying I have been doing...

    this company calls themselves Global Test Market from 1750 Lundy Avenue. Suite 5000 San Jose, CA 95190 Tel# 1-310-982-2413 or 416-939-8838

    RE: Prize Winning Payout
    said I had won $9,100.00 from a consumer promotion Draw for all Wal-mart, Sears, JcPenny, Home Depot, Safeway, K-mart, Best Buy etc. and that I needed to send them $350.00 to a tax agent named Rachel Anderson spoke to her twice on the phone and Now they don't answer their phones.
    Don't know what to do im scared and confused, I made things worse for my family.
    I hope justice reaches these people and they get what they deserve.

    Nichole don't be stupid.no return address,you can't traced them but if you cashed it an spend all the money your going to jail for fraud and I mean prison time.just leave the money there an tell the bank that your into real estate an you always recieve checks because you don't want them to know that you knew the check was a fraud because of how you got it so that you can be pardon an no interest.they'll take back all the money.but tell me you didn't spend none.

    So glad I found this site before I decided to deposit the check I received for $3990.00.  I knew it was too good to be true.  My letter was signed by Joseph Coring, so they are still had it using different aliases.  

    Thank you all for your posts.  I feel bad that some of you got scammed, but thanks for posting this so others won't get scammed too and hopefully they will be put out of business soon.

    Also got a check for $3990...looks too good to be true. Check was from Sandia Area Federal Credit Union. Even had a breakdown of funds for your assignment, haha. 1-877-954-9905 x 1 has been temporarily deactivated but the 1-905-781-0234 is active, didn't bother to talk to the person who answered the phone, though. Global Test Market's address is 110012th AV 1351 Washington Blvd Ste 5000 Stamford CT 06902 1-888-610-2203.

    too good to be true
    The first letter I received was from OXFORD MARKETING GROUP. With a check for $1986.00. Same deal. Take to bank then Western Union. The check was written from the bank of New York Melon."Melon"? Thought that was a joke from the get go. Found the bank online and left a possible fraud notice on their site . Next day their crime dept. called me and they want me to send them this info to use against these crooks if ever caught. The second letter came two weeks later from GTM. Check folr $3990 same deal. Bank then Western Union. I believe these crooks are using "real" company names, for their fake business. Since these letters are coming from Canada, both mine did, it is an international crime. If the phone numbers can be traced as earlier mentioned, then the Authorities should be able to do something about this. Guess there busy looking for the next Bin Lauden....
