Beware of Quality Control Inc as well...I received a check for a secret shopper position. I was looming to make a little extra cash for the holidays. The check was for over 2k so I was immediately suspicious and sid some research and found it was a scam. I would never deposit a check that large in my account unless I was confident of the source. I shredded the check but wanted to warn others...beware!!!!

Dear Conf,

By ignoring all the sensible advice that you're being given, you're just plain STUPID.

No one is on the line.

Hey guys - Thanks for the heads up on this scam company. My employer closed for business in Nov 2010 and I've been looking for work ever since. I submitted my resume all over the Internet and get calls from scam companies all the time. AAA Staffing has been calling and leaving messages for me for about a week now. When someone calls me about a job or wants to sell me their crap, I always Google the company's phone number and check for scam post. I also search BBB.org and FTC.gov for reports of fradulent business activity. Now since I know that AAA Staffing is a scam, I will record the next conversation and post it on youtube. We have to make an example out of this company and shut these people down. Not everyone is going to find this site in time. Maybe some of you should contact your local news and have them do a investigative consumer report story on your experience with the company. Keep spreading the word.

LMAO-

I CALLED TOLD HER I WAS SHELLY WRIGHT... WITH EMPLOYEE ID NUMBER   37846...   AND MADE HER WAIT WHILE I SUPPOSLY GOT THE PACKET OUT OF MY CAR....  HAAAA


I LOVE DUCKING WITH PEOPLE LIKE THIS

LOL...  I LOVE THAT YOU HAVE THE SAME ATTIUTUDE....

okay so here goes.....

okay they called my friend who has been out of work for a while.  they told him the same thing.  Heres 400 bucks for your training pay the rest your going to do a secret shopper job etc.

My friend was totally excited, however I had recieved these checks as well so was a step ahead of the game.

anyways I called amy to ask her for more proof that the company was a legit company.  I asked her if they had a web site she said no due to privacy reasons, okay somewhat believe able...  I asked for a copy of the business license, she couldn't provide that either.  

she was very adiment about getting that check cashed and performing the services with in hours, which makes sense cause if you put a check in your account go spend all the money before the check can come back bad your screwed and they win...

So I called the number on the check to one united bank, a female by the name of amy verified the casheiers check to be good.  

His mother called her bank, that bank called the one united, one united advised her that if the check was deposited and spent your comitting fraud cause its all fraud.  but if you pay the money back to your bank you wont be charged with fraud.

So my friend is a lil out there, but finally came to the term that the check may be fraud, so he took it to the bank explained everything and they said yes this is fraud and took the check from him.  

Luckly he didn't do anything wrong so he wont get in trouble for these assh*les scams.


So anyway the good news I called miss. Amy back who today and acted all sweet and perky and then told her, " Hi amy this is ******* remember that check you told me wasnt fraud, well yea it is and you guys might wanna stop your crap....   But now im going to call back and be like okay the check came in I deposited now what do I do???  lol  

They wanna uck with people well so can we......


Come on everyone screw with them like they have us......

I received the same package yesterday.  I called the number on the bottom of the check.  Amy Clayton told me the check was good and the funds where available immediately.  I called my bank and talked to them about it.  They had the same feeling that I did, total scam.  I debated on it for a day about wether or not to deposit this check into my account.  I chose not to.  I got home from work today and found all this info.  I called "Ashley" at the 877-878-7995 ext 3 and told her what a low life piece of s*** I think she is.  She immediately hung up on me.  I called back.  I told her I have no problem driving to Seattle to kick her a$$.  People like her should be taken out back and stoned by all those they have scammed.  I am a hard working mother of 4 and we struggle to make ends meet at times and people like her think they can't just take what isn't rightfully theirs.  This really makes me furious.  I am so sorry for those of you that have been scammed.  I think we all need to keep calling these con-artists and scare the living crap out of them.  I am turning my letter and the check into the police.

ONE UNITED BANK OUT OF LOS ANGELES, CA.  FUNNIEST THING THE GIRL THAT ANSWERED WAS AMY..  LOL  I HAVE SO MUCH ON MY MIND ABOUT THIS "AAA STAFFING" COMPANY.  

I DID RESEARCH THE BANK, NOT THE BEST OF REVIEWS.

I CALLED THE STAFFING SERVICE COMPANY, FUNNY THING AMY IS JUST WORRIED ABOUT GETTING THE CHECK IN THE BANK.  I TOLD HER ONCE THE FUNDS CLEAR THEN THE ASSIGEMENTS BE BE COMPLETED.....

I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THERE COMPANY, AND SHE SAID SAME THING OTHER PEOPLE MENTIONED.

ILL KEEP EVERYONE UPDATED.....    JUST BE CAUSIOUS...

Amy called me and said that they were looking for customer service people to evaluate employees at various businesses. She is sending out a package of info on this job. I was very suspicious from the beginning!!! There is so much scamming going on!!! What a joke!!! I hope they find these crooks and boil them in water!!!

my bank called the phone # at the bottom of checks to verify and he asked the address of the bank, they replied Crenshaw Blvd. Los Angeles Calf. which it is.  I looked up the ph. #  for the bank  and ask them to verify the checks I received.  She said the checks were a fraud.  To check for yourself call One United Bank  at    323 290-7155  this should clear up any questions anybody has it's a scam

Can't tell you what bank as I haven't received these fake checks.  Scammers may use one bank name on all checks until the authorities broadcast a warning on checks bearing that bank name, then switch to a different bank name, or they may use multiple bank names concurrently. Scammers have also been known to use real bank routing and account numbers, get past banks' fake check robo-detection and then it may take weeks for the scammed account holder to report the fraud (and why everyone should check their accounts every few days). This is a bad scam for victims because victims will probably end up paying for the fake checks.

looks like i am/was about to get involved in something like this. what bank are these bogus checks written on??

Wow thank you all so much for real like wow! I recieved my "package today" i called the numer on the letter 1877 878 7995 ext 1 talked to dumba$$ AMY (oh ya in my "package" was 2 letter describeing what to do with allll the money and 2 checks for $3,250.25? but yet the first time we spoke she assured me i was to get ONE CHECK for $400.00 EVEN..) so immideatly i thought of all your guyses AMAZING ADVICE but i still wanted to call this LADY who had the gutts to lie to me to my face.. i was LIT!

I'm sorry for your situation. Money was wired away voluntarily and the bank and police cannot tell the difference between willing accomplice and unwitting victim. Report the crime to your local police, the Internet Crime Complaint Center http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx , the Federal Communications Commission http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm , the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and your state AG. Banks typically will refuse to swallow the loss as it did not occur as a consequence of a bank action. An attorney will charge ~$hundreds/hr and you have to decide if one's worth consulting for a ~$2600 loss. Knowing when your bank will begin charging fees and interest, and reporting to credit agencies, may help your decision making. Ask your bank if they'll consider converting it into a personal loan with a minimal interest rate because you were the victim of a crime. Best of luck.

Do not use this service it is a scam I just got took for 2500 dollars I receive the check the check cleared and I went to western union and set the money to atlanta,ga I then went to walmart and betbuy and spent 50 dollars each and this was feb 16,2011 and today is feb 17, 2011 and my bank just called me and said my account is in the negative and - need to repay it now so I don't know what to do

If you don't believe us, call your state AG Office consumer division, your local police dept. and your local Western Union office, tell them your secret-shopper story, and they'll all tell you it's a scam. Or you can deposit the check but don't Western Union money back to the scammer, and wait a few weeks and the check will bounce and you can be prosecuted for passing a bad check.

SO AAA staffing and services is a scam?? so the 400 $ check is going to bounce? im so confused y wouldnt they make the check much larger? why just 400? im only 19 and may not be as smart with this stuff as most of u but im so confused i talked to amy for 3 hours it all seemed so legit?? I DONT GET HOW THIS COULD BE A SCAM :( it is possible for mystery shoppers to get paid 100$ per evaluation... i use to be friends with my mystery shops and some of them make alot.. IM JUST SO SAD Ive ben jobless for a year and i finally thought i found the perfect oppertunity :(

Your bank will be more forgiving if you tell them what happened immediately instead of letting the check bounce.

hi i received the package yesterday and deposit on my bank account...but i have not taken the money out because i wasent to sure about this...i was planning to wait couple of days to see what funds are available to me..if the check clears!! wow i wasent aware of this..thanks

Yes, unfortunate Tracy Person, the intrusive vile rat, should be careful
when dealing with people like me. I am what you might say, impossibly
good. A person like her has skim milk for blood in her veins.

I just received the package from a Jess. I turned the table on her. I asked for her tax id number and told her that since she has myu resume she should have known that I worked for many years tracking fraudulent claims and it was odd that I got the job without an actually interview. She quickly said bye and hung up on me. LISTEN TO ME I KNOW THE ECONOMY IS BAD SO THAT IS WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR YOU ALL NOT TO BE TEMPTED AND FALL FOR THIS SCAM!

I got scammed for $3215 from these con artist.  If you get a cashiers check it will be a fraud.

I received the same call today.  It sounded legit.  I really appreciate all your postings.  I might have been their next victim.  The number I was called from is 416-682-7000.  The number I'm "supposed" to call when the package arrives is 877-878-7995 x5 "Ashley"

They should go to jail for a long long time.

Thanks again!

So Conf where u scammed in this situation? You said earlier u were working with them but did the check clear?  Were you paid? What was your experience with this company?

report them to the better business bureu

http://www.bbb.org/

I waited for the packet.  It came yesterday and I went and filed a police report today.  I read the FTC report.  Banks are required to release the money in days, but bad checks may not clear for weeks.  By the time the bank figures it out you are responsible for the money.  IT IS A SCAM!!!  I will be calling the states attorneys office in my state today.

Total Scam. I alerted the FTC, One United Bank, Washington State Attorney General, and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. They have all been alerted of what is going on here, and are investigating. It is terrible that people do this to the unemployed. It is so hard to find a job now with these scams. Half the jobs online I find via indeed.com, craigslist, or career builder are scams. I just hope that people are smart enough to question this and call One United Bank to verify the check.

SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM

Rec'd all the same like everyone else.  But I did my research on the OneUnitedBank.  From what I can the check I received, the logo is not exactly the way it appears on the banks website.  I'm better off tearing up the check and moving on. I advise all to do the same. Plus the Western union amount is extremely large as suppose to all the other places you are to investigate, that was a dead give away for me. I also looked up the address on their letter head and call the company listed (which is NOT AAA staffing) and she said they are the only ones in that bldg at this address. 1415 NE 123rd st, Seattle Wa 98125.

Its not worth it!

I am not  the scammer! It is a Scam, I had already deposited the check before I read this blog. As long as I can keep it from happening to someone else!

We need to find a way to scam them!
