Lori, I forgot to mention the check I received was from Merchants & Southern Bank on 67Pl in Gainesville,Fl

Try this #204-951-7812/ I think these people are all connected with a numerous amount of phone#s as well as fax#s. They sent me a check from Shadow Shopper. Definitely didn't deposit. Reported to FBI- they said it's a scam.

I don't really know what happens after that, but I called the FBI already, I got the same letter along with a check fo$4,685.17. They told me don't deposit the check it's a scam. My scammer's # was 204-951-7812. Everything really looks legit. It is hard to believe as well. I've never had someone send me bogus mail. But we have to look before we leap.

Can you tell me what bank the check was drawn on?  We are a collection agency and we are trying to collect from a company called Technical Solutions and this is the phone number that they are giving us.  They sent us a check for 176000.00 and it is a counterfeit check.  I think we are being scammed.

Did you ever have someone contact you stating to be Craig Edwards from this phone number? I did and they said they had my account information and wanted to put funds into my account and I told them NO because I never gave my account out and they did not contact me again, but that is very scarey and invades your privacy.  What was the name given from your caller?

I 'm pleased to inform you that a final decision has been reached to release the funds to you as soon as possible.There is an insurance fee required before we do release the funds in the amount of $850.00.Like i mentioned to you in our conversation, we will try to deduct that from the total being allocated to you.

You should recieve your funds by the end of next week.

thank you

Thank God nothing touched my bank but it is something to watch out for.

well i recieved a letter and check from this company asking if i would liket o be a mystery shopper. i called got alot of info. looked up the bank to verify real bank. even had my bank call to verify check /funds before cashing. everything was good did what they asked  recieved another one. did the same thing except my bank put a 5 day  hold on check for it was too large for them to cash with holding. (5000)   so when the bank posted i did what they asked.  now my bank calls checks are no good i haveno money and the bank is telling me pay it back or get charges pressed your choice   what do i do?

This number was posted in a want ad in our local newspaper. I went onto google to search the number and was concerned when i saw how many 204 phone numbers there were. Anyone else see this one? It's posted on all kinds of national job boards too.
