November 2008 - WARNING FRAUDULENT CHECKS

Brumley PEO has been alerted by the FBI that unknown con-artists have created fraudulent checks drawn on Brumley PEO’s account with Frost National Bank. The checks are typically in the amount of $3,375.00, and are payable to various individuals located throughout the United States. The con-artists state in their cover letter the checks are in payment of a Mystery Shopping Market Research. The check recipient is asked to deposit the check in their personal checking account. They are then asked to use a portion of the check to conduct a secret shopping spree at various stores and to send a large portion of the check using Western Union or another wire service to the con-artists.

These checks are completely worthless and will not be paid by Frost National Bank. Brumley PEO has no affiliation with any secret shopping company. If you receive one of these checks, do not attempt to cash it or deposit it in your personal checking account.

This matter is being investigated by the FBI office in San Antonio, Texas. If you have been the victim of this fraudulent scam, please contact the agent in charge of this investigation, FBI Special Agent Enrigue Cervantes (210) 650-6277.
