While searching the internet for jobs I came across "Customer Service Evaluator." I filled out their information form and sent it. A week later I received a letter in the mail with instructions for my 1st and 2nd assignment. They also sent me a check for $1306.29.
Instructions were to send a Western Union to an address in the United Kingdom. I then called them and received my 2nd assignment. Then I FAX'D all the required paperwork. My bank tells me that the check was bogus and will be charged to my account.

- I work in Fraud and Security at a local bank. I assume the staff of scambook.com are aware of certain facts but have failed to mention them here. The company Radius Global Market Research are victims in this scam, the same as you.Their site looks legit because it IS legit. The people who run these scams choose the names of REAL companies. The fraudulent checks show the names of real companies. This is how they get people to fall for their scams. Radius Global doesn't owe any of you a dime, because you were not dealing with anyone from their company. Never cash a check if you are not 100% sure of its validity. Think of a check as an IOU. The bank gives you cash because YOU are promising they will receive funds for the check. Each of you are fortunate. I witnessed a case where a girl received a check the same as you all. She knew something wasn't right, but she cashed it anyway. Since she cashed a check she knew was suspect, she was brought up on criminal charges. The best thing to do if you are unsure of a check, take it to your bank along with any letter you may have gotten with it,and ask them to have their fraud department take a look at it. All they will need is a photo copy of the check and a few minutes to research the information. If it is fraudulent, you will know before your money is involved. I am in no way affiliated with Radius Global. I have seen this scam and its many variations more than I can count. There are also websites that can give you tips on recognizing forged currency and checks. Trust me, once you know what you are looking for, you will want to check every bill you are given. Good luck, and be safe.
