LeadMaster, Inc. c/o P. De Coeur P. Matchabelli
Complaint 134093 Details

I received a letter with a check for $1,999.25 telling me that I was now a Consumer Service Evaluator. I was to keep $350 of the amount and spend the rest as provided on their website "Leadmastergroup.com." I was to activate the check first. I was to keep whatever I purchased with their money. Figuring that if the offer is too good then something is wrong, I opened a special account to deposit the check which I did on 7/9/12. On 7/11/12, I was supposed to have the funds available and as of this morning (7/11) the bank said funds were available. However, as of this afternoon, the bank indicated the check did not clear.

In addition when I called the number on the letter I was informed there would be a continuing charge to make the call -- I hung up. When I called them on 7/11/12, as their website had disappeared, I was told they had too many calls.

I am not sure that it is related but I did discover that I had acquired a virus on my computer and can not help but wonder if it was not implanted by my connecting to their website.

I have just discovered this scam. I am not sure what my cost will be but apparently it cost someone else the ability to have a bank account. (see an other complaint). As of now, it cost be my hope for additional income and my time. However, I am sure there will be repercussions during the next 30 days. I can not help wondering that if I had used my regular accounts, the individuals would have been able to take money from me out of my regular account as many banks write the account number on the back of the check.
