The bank account is actually closed. The company is legit, the account is not!!

Yep this is mine to a tee- wish my bank would have verified as a fraud when I went in instead they cashed the cheque and now I owe almost $5000 with all the fees!! I have 15 days to pay or it goes to collections and I risk going to jail-ME THE VICTIM!!!! What a society we live in!

I am dealing right now with a scam that is EXACTLY the same. The sum of money for me was $3999.60- I now owe the bank $5000 and the police are looking at pressing charges. The name of my company was Multi line Transport Ltd. They check out on line but send you a cheque to an account that is closed.

The Polish Parishes Credit Union is a valid Credit Union operating in Missisauga, ON. It is a real bank, with real customers.

These cheques, however, are not real.

If you receive a cheque asking you to do mystery shopping and send money via western union. DO NOT CASH IT, DO NOT CALL the number. This is a SCAM. If you attempt to cash it, the cheque will not clear. If you attempt to cash it at an "instant cash" place, the cheque will be held, police will be called and you will be charged with fraud.

The cheques that are printed, seemingly from all these different companies are not those company cheques and can be verified to be false very easily by someone from these companies.

When asked as to how, for example, a transportation company has anything to do with "Mystery Shopping", this Linda responded that they "get a different sponsor every week".. only too true, the way it seems.

Unfortunately, it also seems that the police are not interested in catching the perpetrator of this scam, only the people who unwittingly get caught in it by trying to cash cheques in good faith.

I only hope not too many people have sent these criminals money, and even if they attempted to cash the cheque they will wait for it to clear (which, again, it will not)

again: the companies that these cheques are made out from know NOTHING about this, they are NOT cheques from these companies, only their bank info that has been stolen - it's fraud both ways.

I was almost fooled to the name on the cheque is polish parish credit union what the hell is that anybody heard of it its apparently in Mississauga Ontario.

Oh, forgot to mention----this cheque also came from Multiline Transport in Toronto.  Maybe I will also phone bank listed on cheque and see what they have to say.

I too have just received a cheque for 3998.60.  Some of it for payment, a portion for mystery shop at walmart etc.and two amounts to be transferred via western union.  Think I will just phone police and let them handle it.

Just got this, but from multiline transport ltd. same phone number. The amount is $3998.60. Mystery shop Walmart, kmart, home depot, sears, jc penny or best buy. And then wire through moneygram and western union.

I too received a letter and a cheque from Broadband Collaborative Solutions INC. with a cheque for $3991.88, its a fraud, my bank verified the cheque as a fraud!  What can we do to stop these evil people from doing this???  Anyone, please adivse as l wish to put a stop on these evil people!

Just received my letter too. I was almost fooled, but thought it better to immediately do some research. Glad I did.

SCAM SCAM SCAM, like everyone has said, 'RUN!'

All I needed to see. Thanks guys :)

I too received a cheque and a letter from Broadband Collaborative Solutions Inc in the sum of $3991.88. I was asked to complete two tasks: (1) Shop at Walmart or HomeDepot and spend the $100 then (2) wire two large sums of the cheque to people in NJ and call the woman named Linda back and confirm that this indeed had been done. From here they would send out the next assignment and I would be able to keep the $450. It actually sounded like she was doing the dishes in the background, I was a little surprised that I did not hear a baby crying.

This is a fraud just as Kim said! RUN!! Do not walk!!

I received a cheque and directions for being a mystery shopper. I called the above number 647-339-1332 spoke with a woman named linda to activate my cheque and give me the instructions about my first shop. $100 at Walmart or Home Depot. Then I would get instructions on my second shop to evaluate the employees at Western Union.
I took my cheque to the bank and tried to deposit it, They (the bank) in turn looked into it and confirmed it was fraud. They made me photocopies but needed to keep the originals.

WARNING TO EVERYONE if it seems too good to be true it is!

Scam! And a dangerous one. The idea is for him to go shopping with the cheque that they gave him. It's a phoney! The danger here is that he will be arrested as an accomplice in fraud.  It's fairly new that a victim of a scam is arrested, but there are already reports of it on this site. Run! do not walk, away from this one!

So my friend received this letter and cheque for 3998.98 and I searched on line and found this site. The phone number on the cheque is 647-339-1332. Its a mystery shopper job on behalf of Rogers....can someone who knows something about this. I tried to tell him its a scam but he says that the company Rogers wouldnt send out scam reports.
