OTX Survey & Management Services. Inc.
Complaint 10065 Details

I responded to an ad online looking for mystery shoppers. I sent my resume and filled out a small application. About a week later, I received a small packet with O.T.X survey customer service evaluation tool (CSET).
The form has walmart, walgreens, and of course WESTERN UNION, as the stores they wanted me to visit and evaluate. They also included a check in the amount of $2245.00. The instructions attached said to call the number on the front of the letter to get a code to enable me to cash the check. They also told me that each job was to be completed in 3 days. After cashing the check (at only my bank, no check cashing facilities), I was to go to WESTERN UNION first and send $1,700 I was to be the sender and receiver (strange), but im sure the money went to them. They said the rest was for my shopping ($70 at Walgreens, $90 at Walmart.)(and I was welcome to keep the items, just send them the receipts), and my salary of course was $250 for doing the survey. Come to find out later that the check was fraudulent, I and I had to repay the bank the $2245.00. Needless to say, the $1,700 I sent to them was my money. They are a total SCAM. They had me send the money before I could find out that the check was bogus. And who knows how much more information they have about me and my banking info.
This could really end up being a worse scam than just the $1,700 they stole from me. So, if you get a letter like this it is suggested to give it to your local police Dept. DONT BE FOOLED!
