I am an Avon rep and have heard of many stories of people getting these scam emails. I have gotten two so far. I have not lost anything because I was aware beforehand but want to warn others. How I deal with it is if they are any other customer. I explain the charges and let them know what the process is and I explain that once the validy and clearance of the check is accepted I will then ship merchandise. I never give any of MY personal information to these people either. Amazingly I don't hear back from these "companies". Wonder why? here are the two I have received. I also pay attention to details. Why are they ordering from me and they are coming from another state? With as many avon reps as there are do they really expect me to believe they couldnt find one in their own state? If they are a "professional company" doing photo shoots, how the heck did they get a name of an Avon rep in another state and thought that was better than oh say, the expensive "hollywood" stuff. They don't even take the time to use your real name or figure out where you really are. Whos really doing a photo shoot in Portland, TN? come on people.

  • I got the same e-mail from Michelle Hoskins, I am a very new Avon representative and Didn't pay much attention to it. I told her what the amount was, and she did send me a check, however she said there was a mistake with the amont sent to me, it was too much and wanted me to "western Union, or Money Gram" her the rest asap. That flew the red flag to me. I brought the check for $1600.00 to my bank and told them the storty and it was a fake. They want people to cash these checks and send them the money, and your account will be overdrawn and never get the money back.
    She even went on to say "God Bless You for being prompt" This is what she wrote to me in regards to the check after she said they were from Tennesee
    Please proceed to the bank for the cash. Also, I will like to notify you that the sponsor was mistakenly added my travel expenses to the funds sent to you, all you have to do is just deduct the money for your Avon items from the fund and get the rest send to the agent who is to book the ticket via MONEY GRAM or WESTERN UNION money transfer on Monday after you have cashed the check at your bank, as soon as you send the funds I would be able to provide you with our trip plan. Below is my agent name and address you would send the funds to:

    Name: Margaret Ballard
    City: Covina
    State: 91724
    Zipcode: California.

    After the transfer get back to me with all the transfer details from Western Union OR MoneyGram, the details needed would be the Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN Usually 10 Digits) if you used western Union but will be (8 digits REFERENCE number) if you used MoneyGram, also I will need to know the total amount sent after deducting transfer charges, Note that the transfer charges should be deducted from the money you are sending and not from your money. The funds are needed urgently, so get this done and get back to me as soon as possible. Also advice when my Avon would arrive if not arrived yet.

    Thank you and God bless you.

  • Same story here only I didn't even have to tell the bank. They took one look at it and said it was likely fake and placed a hold on it. It is so sad that some people just don't get real jobs or try real opportunities. The $20 it cost to mail the fake check to me they could have used to have thier own Avon business. They don't even have the smarts or money to make realistic looking fakes. They need to give up and try something new.
