I am a part time Mystery Shopper and I received a letter from Value Shoppers Inc. in the mail stating that I have been chosen to be the Independent Contractor for Value Shoppers Inc.in my area(Bradenton,Fl.34207)along with the letter a contract came with a check for $3475.00 in my name.I called the phone number in the letter and spoke with "Micheal" he told me the check was the funds I am to use for my assignments.The letter had a contract that I signed and faxed to "Micheal" I was told to deposit the check and when it clears to withdraw the funds and conduct my assignments.I went to 4 different big department stores and made 2 western Union transactions 1 for 1,300.00 to Mark Webb in Manchester, UK and 1 for 1375.00 to Linda Williams in Madrid, Spain.I was told I was to evaluate the Western Union Clerk, that should have alarmed me , but at the time it was not my money I was sending (or so I thought)so what was the harm? well on 8/2/12 Value Shoppers Inc. canceled the check and now I am $3475.00 in the rear with my bank ,money I do not have, as well as my monthly bill & rent money that was in the bank waiting to clear, is All gone now. I figured sense the check cleared and I was allowed to withdraw the funds the check was ok, but I was wrong.What is the reason your bank puts a hold on any check? isn't it to be sure the funds are available? and once a check is cleared and the money has been withdrawn how can it then be canceled? please explain. What can I do to get my money back from these thieves and to expose them so they can not take advantage of any more people.I am also going to report them to the police? I am not sure of his real name, but he had me call him Micheal, however I sent money to Mark Webb. So who knows?
