Direct Opinions marketing and surveys... A complete scam

Wow, my check is for the same amount sent to Milwaukee. I don't have a bank account.....thank God, but I would have called first because a check being sent first is to good to be true.  I called Waco Postal Credit Union in Waco Tx 76711-0000 and they said alot of people have been calling in.  Yes, it is a scam.  My check number was 1809 account number 311972351 for  1,271.02.  Bull [***].  Someone needs a timeout in Prison.  lol

Thanks everyone for submitting these posts about this scam. I live in Mass and my check was $1271.02
the bank listed was a real local bank, but up in the top left was the name of a local transpertation authority. Why is that on the check? The check also make a point of listed many verification methods on the back. The Group Project Director on my letter was named Evans Wilson. A poster above had Kevin Wilson. After the Xmas rush I may bring this to my post office. They are agressive and will try to do something ablout fraud thru the mail.

I received a letter from direct opinions marketing and sur, and a check in the amount of  3,493.00.   I was totally surprised,  why would this company send me money that I had not  earned yet?  Everything looked so legitimate,  I did some research and found out that this company was a complete SCAM.  So people stay alert,  there are crooks out there.

I just got the same but the check is from State Highway Patrol F.C.U. in Columbus Ohio hahahahahaha. Wow

LoLo I received on of these checks a year ago and it definitely was a scam. Today I received one for 1,271.02 on 12/24/10 I wouldn't dare cash it because that's money I will have to pay back. No Sir.......

how did you know it scam, because i got check also i already cash out send back to them.

I just found this site after doing research on the same company. I thought it was too good to be true also and am getting the same results as some other posters above when trying to contact company transining coordinator. Yes, lets get a law siut going...

I just looked up 22054 Poway Rd, Poway Ca 92064 (Direct Opinions headquarters address) on google earth and its just a Highway Intersection outside of town.

I received my letter in the mail along with a check in the amount of $1,271.02. I went to my Wells Fargo bank to cash my check as my "Assigned Training Coordinator" asked, the banker helping me called the bank on the check, she even faxed it to them because they couldnt seem to find my check, well come to find out the bank told us that it wasn't even one of their checks!!! She told me that people have been getting scammed alot with stuff like this! So I get home & call the Coordinator" & told her what happened at the bank & she replies, "Well I'll have to talk to my supervisor & see what he says & I'll give you a call back!" lol BS I am so pissed off right now for waisting my time & gas, please believe this "Training Coordinator" lady is about to get cussed out!

Hello,
I received a check like Angie and some other people, I deposit it, I send money throughWestern Union and now I discovered that the amount $1,271.02 was in minus from my account. I called back to Direct opinions and a man said that tomorrow the amount will be in my account. So, I lost the money .

My check was for 3493.00 and I went to cash it and they told me it was a fraud check and was gonna call the police. I called and asked for kevin wilson and the guy said he wasnt there. he said you should of deposited it in your account. I saaid I dont have an accouint. he said he would issue another chewck. this is horse [***]. I went and spent all my money thinking I really had a job and now I have no money and I got scammed. we all should file a law suit. I know I am. they seriously need to go to prison.

Shalene I got a check from the same company I say we file a lawsuit! How do we get started?

I just received a check from Direct Opionions Marketing and Surveys for $1271.02. My coordinator's name was David with employee # 754.  I told him I don't have a bank account and he said for me to just find someone that has an account that will deposit it for me and give me the funds when they clear.  So not only are they trying to scam the persons that are receiving these letters, but anyone around them, family or friend.  When I googled the bank name, Signature Bank, out of New York, the bank logo looks nothing like the logo on the check.  This is def a scam......I am going to call the bank tomorrow during business hours just to make them aware that their bank is being used.

Just got a letter in mail today with the cashiers check of the same amount like you $1271.02, letter was dated on Dec 27, 2010 went to my bank Wells fargo to try to cash it , they said they could it because it was East Coast time but that she was sure it was 99.9 fake I felt embarrassed and harassed but with hope because the suppose to training coodinator assures me to go tommorow morning that the check is real and their company is legitamate and upset because he said I am suppose to be mystery shpper and not give them information and that know they kept my check but after reading all these testimonial I am thankful that my banker did not cash it or that I did not do a Atm deposit . well i will find out tommorow. 1760-693-1059/ 760-693-1056 David ID Rep # 754 what jerks do when I got happy to receive money after the Holidays. Or that I got a P/T job :(

Wow, Elena, the phone number I had to David was 760-693-1057.
