Fraud Alert - QAMS - Quality Assessments Mystery Shoppers - 1-905-598-2207

(wah wah wah) I don't want this to be fake; I applied for a job on craigslist and was linked up with this..... scam but I want this cashier's check to be real. At first, the administrative assistant job (from home) didn't seem odd at all, until I was asked to send them some of the money. Like others, I wanted this to be my 'way' out--to no avail. Times are so hard for me right now, I even mentally prepared my self to .......to prison and going over lines what I would say in court......THAT is too much pressure. These people should also be charged with mental abuse because NO ONE should have to struggle with thoughts of committing crimes when given an opportunity.

If you received a Great Basin Federal Credit Union Cashier's check and ask you to call at 289-888-2421 is Fraud do not take any of this checks.  Call Great Basin Federal Credit Union at 1-800-545-4228 to verify.

Rcvd a letter from BMA Mystery Shopping.  Website address on letter has an additional letter to throw you off.  Checked phone number on check for $2996.00 & found this website.  BIG SCAM obviously.  PO BOX & fax# of mystery shopping co is in Washington, phone number in Mississippi.  The letter also states to call 905-781-5057 and ask for TIM WILSONS who's name appears (minus the second "S" in last name) in another post on this site.  Obviously DO NOT deposit their bogus check into your acct or they will gain access to your acct info.

I just recieved a check(cashiers)in the mail and it has the previously mentioned phone number of 1-289-888-2421 and the name of the bank is Commercial Bank of Oak Grove (oak grove missouri) this is the second  time I have recieved a cashiers check that turned out to be bad.
The first time I got a letter with the chack it was from shadow shoppers and put my family and I almost 3,000 in the negative and we are still not recovered from that.
This check was a part of this new shadow shopper like entity called qaams.com that is supposedly run like a (quality check) service.wich is what shadow shoppers preported it self to be.
I am glad I checked the  phonenumber online before I talked to anyone.

I received a letter and chack over the weekend. My first instinct was this is a scam, too good to be true. I decided to investigate before even calling. Thanks to all of you, I have been assured that this is truly a scam. I even called the ligit Qams company. On their voice mail it states if you received a letter with a check this is NOT Qams and to report it to your local police.
Thanks to all of you honest people out there.

I received a letter from QAMS and a check, stated I am "SECRET SHOPPING". I call the bank number on the check and verified the check than I went to the pawn shop and cash the check now I have charges pended on me and I set the money I guess I was crazy but I thought it was for real. I called tim wilson and talked with him and every thing sound good and I got scammed. DAMMN I just know I had an extra job and extra money. I tried explaining to the lady that I did not know it was a scam. I talk with the owner and explain that I would pay her back the money but she is on putting me in jail so. But God has an better plan. My first time getting scam. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER AGAIN. I WILL DO MORE RESEARCH AND BE VERY CAREFUL THE NEXT TIME.

I received a letter from QAMS and a check ,stated that i am "SECRET SHOPPING". It was to good to be true, because the check was so big. I also look them up on the computer. I was so glad, that i saw other letter, almost like the one i have received, and that i didn't  follow thought with it. Iam so please with the inner net sharing this information with other people that almost have been "SCAM BY QAMS".

The Secrets of Mystery Shopping Revealed

I just for a letter and a check in the mail. The e-mail address www.qams.com is up for sale. www.qamms.com no matter how you spell it this is a SCAM. The check is from Wood&Huston Bank in marshall, missouri but the letter was sent from Canada. And just incase you are wondering, a REAL check doesnt need to say on the check "OFFICIAL CHECK" I hope no one has cashed this. It could ruin your standing at your bank.

All information listed by posters on this site is the same in my case, except i felt this was a scam from the get-go.  So now that I've looked up the info here and on other sites, my question is who is monitoring/investigating these people in order to hopefully stop these people?  I would like to report this to the authorities, but I am afraid I will just be spending time when the local police will most likely feel its international and refer me to the FBI... or some other intity.  


FYI: the lette I received has some changes, now, from the others:  their website has changed the spelling to www.qaams.com (from qamms.com, as listed by other posters), and name of contact person is Susan Morris now vs. Rita Morris noted by other posters.

i recieved a check for 2,950.00 called  miss rita williams was told to deposit it in my bank after it cleared in a couple of day scall her back for step by step instructions im supposed to spend 50.00 at walmart, 50.00 at sears and 30.00 at wendys or mcdonalds and keep 300.00. i looked it up on the bbb and it was not found had different area code then what it was supposed to be  it says the address is P.O.Box 17550, Kent, Washington 98002-3202 Tel- 1-905-920-0670 Fax-206-3371657 it is not legit.

recieved check called # greeted by accent woman they asked me to deposit check of 2,950.00 in my bank account and not to mention it to anyone at the bank because they have people at the bank working for them never deposit the check because I went online and found nothing about that company and read about the SCAM. Thank You,

I just received a letter and cashiers check for $2990.00. I called fifth third bank and it was a foreigner that gave me a 900 number to call to verify the cashiers check. I hung up and called a local branch they said it was a good check. There is a company called Quams website is http://www.quams.com they are legit and on there website they say they do not send checks or money orders. the website on the letter is qamms.com not qams.com the letter is a SCAM and should be turned into your local police dept.

I got a letter in the mail with a check for 2950.00 to use at wal-mart, sears, mcdonalds,money gram, and western union. called the number in the letter 1-905-781-3928 , and talked to a man with a heavy accent was told I lied to much and they hung up on me because I was asking to many questions about them and the company. Was told to ask for rob Williams when i called, he got really rude!!!!!!

QAMMS is a fraud. A Scam.

I got letter out the mail saying that i had been picked for a paid Customer Research Promgram enclosed was a cashier's check for 2,990.00 They gave me a number to call 1-905-782-3335 and to ask for Tracy Davis.This IS A SCAM!!!!!!! She when on the letter said Tracy Davis was a he told me to go ahead and deposit the cashier's check into my account and that it should clear within 2 days after it post give her a call back! Thank GOD I prayed over this letter and asked god if this was a scam to not let the check clear and my wish was answered!!!The check did not go thru!!!! So everyone reading this please becareful don't become a VICTUM

i received check for $2,950.00 from Qamms.com
harris central n.a.,roselle,Il,1-289-888-2421
what is the matter to send empty check?

quams mystery shopper is a scam...the guy with a heavy accent...would not provide me with a copy of their business license, to check if they were legit...you get a check...$2990.00...you deposit the check...you shop at walmart for $50.00 ...sears for $50.00 ..wendys $30.00 ...your pay $300.00 ...money gram $1,120.00 ...and a western union transfer $1,120.00..ITS A BIG SCAM...watch out!!!!

This number is on an alleged cashiers check from QAMS.  It says it's from Fifth Third Bank in Lexington, KY.  I can't find that number listed at any of their branches.

This number is listed as a contact number for Fifth Third Bank in Lexington, KY.  It's not listed at any of their branches when you look them up online.  QAMS is a SQAM!

This number (1-289-888-2421) appears as the contact number for Fifth Third Bank in Lexington, KY.  I looked the bank up online.  None of their branches showed that number.

I received my 3rd check today. The interesting thing about it is that it has my name misspelled just like in the Frontier records. Did Frontier leak information recently and not tell it's customers? Maybe the scammers are picking names and addresses out of the phone book? I had a problem with services I did not order being added to my phone bill, and several of these checks show up at my house all in the last few months. It's got to me more than a coincidence that the have the same name misspelling. Anyways, this is another check from Canada. It has a web site but the information doesn't match. I'm wondering if they are pretending to be one of the legit services while trying to scam me. This one asks me to contact Miss Tina Tyson or Mr. Tim Wilson.Ph:1-905-598-2207 Fx:1-206-337-1657 The contact form lists PO BOX 17550 Kent WA 98002. The check is from wal*mart / harris central n.a.www.qamms.com.report that they are being used as part of a scam.
