lol i got the same thing, he sure likes to keep his last names and change the first.. i got Ray Goldberg, and call Frank Singleton, and Rachel Howard... What a joke. I wonder how many hopeful clients he actually got with this.
Received in the mail 11-21-09 a scam letter with a certified check asking me to call 289-892-3956 to received directions on paying fees to free up additional money supposedly in my name. I am supposed to deposit the cashiers check they sent for 4,250.00 and then send them a money order for most of that to them to cover fees so they can send me a check for $36,000 - yea right!!!!! Not on your life - this is a scam so beware - their cover letter shows QFI or Quantum Financial Inc. as the home company - watch out and let others know of this - it comes out of Canada apparently since that is the area code 289 - tell your Better Business Bureau about this as well
We received a check in the amount of $1,988.00 from Crestview Performance Research 399 Market St. Philadelphia Pa 19106. The letter stated we were selected as a secret/mystery shopper, to cash the check and wire $1568 to Irene Harshaw, spend $70 at a variety of stores and to keep $350.00 as our payment. The letter was signed by Rex Goldberg out of 140 west 56th St New York Ny 10019. I looked up the NY address and it came back to a condo complex. I check the phone number and it came back to canada and was listed in several previous scams. I google the "Crestview Marketing Research" in Philadelphia, but could only find a company by that name in Florida.
My fiance DID sign up to be a secret shopper, but this was too good to be true. We did NOT cash the check, called the Better Business Bureau and reported it to the police.
The check is bad but good enough to get past the teller and be deposited into your account. You withdraw $cash and Western Union it to the scammer. The scammer will have your $cash in short hours but it will take a few days for the bank to find out the check is bad. You will owe the bank the amount you wired the scammer and may be prosecuted for money laundering or passing a bad check. The scam works on the time difference between a wire transfer (hours) and a check deposit (days). Don't do it.
I got a similar one that the name was or FFI INC FINANCIAL FREEDOM but the phone number is the same as me excited but I also seemed strange when trying to find information on the Internet I realized it was a scam
