This is a fax number on a letter that is committing bank fraud.  I would advise contacting you back to alert them and not to try to cash or processs any checks or participate in the fraud.

I received a letter from Links Research Group Inc. telling me I had been selected to participate in their Mystery Shopper program.  Enclosed ws a check for $3,830.  I was instructed to shop WalMart with $200, be paid $300 and wire the balance to an undisclosed coordinator.  I decided to give it a cautious try and deposited the check. Of course the bank put a hold on it and I was not about to wire them any money until I had it in my account.  I called the number given as instructed to another coordinator.  Was surprised when he answered with only "Hello".  Told him I had the check but that the bank was withholding funds until it cleared.  I got a rather resigned "Well. OK.  Call me when it clears". Of course he knew it wouldn't clear.  Further checks brought up this site.  Of course I notified my bank immediately as well as credit card issuers and wrote the whole thing off.  I'm sure the intent wsa that I would immediately wire the money before discovering that the check was bogus.

Ihave a check from the same people.My sister inlaw owes the bank 3000.00 dollars due to the check which is absoulutely a big fraud.

I received the same letter as well with a check enclosed for $3991.35.
The first thing that I noticed is that the envelop has postal stamp from Canada, and also the phone # 514-560-9570 with the area code of 514 is a Canadian area code not Texas where the letter is supposed to be coming from.

This is fraud and I am going to destroy the check!

I received a letter from Links REsearch Group Inc., with the same address in Houston, TX, phone numbers 1-514-576-9934 and fax 1-800-624-1845.  A check for the amount of $3,830.00 to be used for training, shopping and a Western Union or MoneyGram transaction.  It sounded good and I sure could use the money, but I decided to check this out..glad I did, thanks for the info!

I just receive this email but I was suspicious and check it on google, that's how I came to your email. Thanks.

Same story under the name Insight Management & Research Group.

Seems LIKE IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL FOR A BANK TO CHARGE FEES TO A VICTIM OF FRAUD!!!! MAKES YOU WONDER WHAT SIDE THEY ARE ON! ALTHOUGH THE REAL TRUTH IS THEY KNOW ALL ABOUT THESE SCAMS AND LAUGH ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK! THEN THEY CALL IT CONSUMER PROTECTION! BUNCH OF CRAP!

Rec'd a letter in the mail saying I was surveyed by a consumer survey specialist and had indicated I was interested in additional income on a part-time basis. Never did this but letter stated I would be a paid consumer researcher and it contained a check for $3,820. Check is from a TD BANKNORTH, NA in williston, VT.  Letter is from Metropark Consumer research group, PO Box 66435, Houston TX 77266.
Assignment coordinator is Janet Taylor, letter is signed from Sandra J Krista, HR manager. Check amount is to be divided up between training, shopping and $3,150.00 by Western Union/Moneygram to another training agent at a different location specified by the assignment coordinator.
Googled this company and found that others receiving this type of contact cashed the check and found out that it bounced and had to pay bank fines for drawing on invalid funds.
