I was sent a Ck. in the amt. of $2400.00 Along with that check was a Page to fill out, and it told you what you were supposed to do. I called the # listed on the top of this paper and spoke with a "Kelly Smith" She instructed me to deposit that check.Once that Ck. cleared I was supposed to go to a Western Union and send $1800.00 to a womean by the name of "THERESA HILL" in LONDON ENGLAND. while i was in the porcess of sending this $, I was supposed to evaluate teh customer Service of the Western Union. Which I did.THen with the rest of the money I was to go to Either a WalMArt, Kmart or a Best Buy, and buy whatever it is that i wanted, while evaluation the store while I was shopping. So I went to Walmart and spent $$. Well come to find out This past Monday 3/12/12, the check was returned. My bank acct. is over drawn! I feel Like such an Idiot! But it sounded great, it sounded Legit! Anyways once I found out, I went to my local Police Dept. filed a report on monday 3/12/12, Later that evening the Detectives Bureau called me and said"This is out of their hands, & for me to contact the FBI" Well I did that & finally got to talk to an agent today. I went throught the whole story, and he pretty much told me that the FBI has a $500,000 Threshold, and nothing can be done until it reaches that Limit! REALLY, I thought to myself! this is ridiculous! It's not like people have all types of money, if we did you think we woudl even bother doing SURVEYS! Something needs to be done here, I mean what about the Place that issued the "Cashier's Check??" I also looked up the NYC address they have listed on top of this paper I have, the address is 770 Broadway, New York, NY 10003. If you Google that, click on google maps, you can see this bldg. that clearly says "NEILSEN" ???
I dont' know you tell me!
If anyone has anything to help me out with, please contact me., Maybe we can be our own investigators! i mean these scams are slick!
