Mack Mall Company

Review: Unfortunately, and to say totally embarrassing, I fell victim to a scam from this "company" as a secret shopper. I have actually won a very large monetary prize years ago and the paperwork, website and everything associated with this secret shopper scam looked to be official. I do online surveys a lot and the letter sent (along with a check) asking me to become a secret shopper said I was picked to become a shopper for their company from information they had gathered from a survey I had done. Fortunately, I was hesitant enough to open a new banking account at a bank I had never used to deposit the check I was given so therefore, none of my banking information from my current bank was released. Today I received a letter from the new bank where I deposited the check saying the check was COUNTERFEIT. My concern is can this place do any damage to me? The only place that received ALL of my information was the bank. I did not provide any information online. Also, a concern to me is how can I help to stop these people from doing this to someone else? If there is anything I can do, please inform as to not have anybody else fall victim to this. Your response is greatly appreciated. Thank you, [redacted]Desired Settlement: Do whatever is possible to stop this from happening to someone else.

Review: this company is sending out conterfeit checks.Desired Settlement: replace money lost and notice to my bank

Review: I applied online for a secret shopper job. Then mack mall company sends me a check and information regarding their secret shopping job being offered to me. They told me to deposit their check into my [redacted] checking account. When it cleared, then take the money and go shopping for particular items and write reports on the stores customer service. To my great embarrasment, the check was returned because it was fake! I owe tons of money $1992.92 to [redacted] and I do not know how I am going to pay it back. I tried calling them, leaving them messages, and emailing them. No response.Desired Settlement: I would like to have $2250.00 to cover all the bank fee's and the fake check.

Review: this company that also goes under the name mtc volvo group has sent me a check for secret shopper it explained in detail what my salary would be and to just deposit my check in the bank wait for it to clear deduct my pay and go online to generate the job. I id deposit the check and while I waited for the check to clear took my pay to pay some bills. I went to the bank today 9/23 to find that the check was a fake or altered item. now I am out my 350.00 and the check has been returned from the bank. I am not sure what this company would have to gain except any information on the returned check.Desired Settlement: probably impossible but I think this company should return my money. if anything I hope others do not fall fo this great oppertunity to work from home as a secret shopper, what if I withdrew the entire amount nearly 2000.00. I would also like to know what MTC Volvo group gains from people depositing this check to find its a fake.

Review: I received a letter from the Mack Mall Company. The letter came to my home address. The letter looks very professional. Along with the letter, was a check for $1992. The letter was addressed to me, [redacted] The letter states this is an Acceptance Letter to become a Mystery Shopper for the Mack Mall Company. It notes that based on a previous survey by their affiliate Consumer Survey Specialist that I indicated that I was interested in making money from home parttime, and that I had been selected to participate in the Mystery Shoppers Program.

It instructed me to complete two assignments once the check they sent cleared my bank. After the check cleared I withdrew the amount instructed in the letter and performed the two mystery shopper assignments. At the end of each assignment, I scanned the receipts from the Mystery Shopper assignment and emailed it to the email address provided.

I deposited the check they gave me on Monday, September 9, 2013. The check cleared on Tuesday, September 10, 2013. I withdrew $1642.00 on Tuesday, September 10, 2013 and started performing the assigned Mystery Shopper jobs.

Everything seemed fine, I actually thought I was a true Mystery Shopper, until Friday, September 13, 2013. That morning when I checked my bank account the check from the Mack Mall Company had been returned from my bank as fictious. My payroll check which was direct deposited into my account on Friday, September 13, 2013, was automatically taken by my bank to cover a portion of the check that I deposited from the Mack Mall Company. But my bank account is overdrawn, because there’s no way I could cover the fictious check they sent me for $1992.

I have no idea how I’m going to pay my bills now, that are due today or how I’m going to buy groceries to feed my children. I’m really freaked out right now, and don’t want this to happen to anyone else.Desired Settlement: That not only do they refund my cash but that they take care of the overdraft charges that their fictious check caused when it was returned on my bank account.

Review: I received a acceptance letter with a check from volvo group inc on citi bank went to citi bank and was told the check was good but it needed time to clear so since it was a good check I deposit in my account turns out check was fraudelent and I had already did the retail shopping assignment which told me to go to western union to evaluation the person handling the money sent so I sent 965. to some one in spain and the next secret shopper assignment was to go to walmart and spent 78.00 on anything to evaluation a worker in the lane and the next evaluation was for money gram to evaluate the worker in the money gram store to send 494. to some one in atlanta georgia the check was no good not the bank is asking me to come up with the 2,000 dollarsDesired Settlement: would be to see if we can get the money back which look slim to nothing
