Daniel Cole
Complaint 148847 Details

I was sent a check and letter from a person by the name of Daniel Cole who is supposed to be the program director of something called Consumer Panel Research. The letter stated information about the "job" and entailed a description of what is supposed to be done. It said it was sent to me because I signed up to be a mystery shopper. The check was written for 1,290.45. For the first 2 days, I attempted to call Daniel to get details about the job but never got a call back. Once I was finally able to speak with him, he said to call him back the next day after I had cashed the check(without even giving me a chance to ask any questions.) Once I called him and told him I was at the bank, he kept giving me 1 step instructions and kept having me to call him back.(He never was interested in speaking to me until I cashed that check!) After I did, he told me to purchase 2 ReloadIt cards with $500 a piece on it. I had to call him back with the cards' pin number and I was told to contact him the next day for another assignment. Of course, after that transaction, I never got in touch with him again because once again, he would not answer or return any of my phone calls. This happened on a Tuesday 8/14...by Friday 8/17 my account was overdrawn for the same 1,290.45 due to a counterfeit check. The bank could not do anything and now I'm stuck with no money!
