My wife just got a letter and a check from this company. I'm curious if this is legit. She doesn't remember signing up with them in the last year or so. The check looks real but wary me, I need to check things out. It was a substantial check too.

Not doing a job doesn't relate to getting a sizable check. Do not cash it, must be a scam.

Live consciously....

Legitimate companies do not send out checks prior to a shopper performing the work. Usually the check comes 4-12 weeks after the shop is accepted. If she had not worked for the company you can be sure it is a scam.

I sent a email to the company from their web site and gave them the names of the signer of the check and the co-ordinator. The letter said to send a text to a number stating "Assignment Received" Then it says to deposit the check and notify them of the deposit. She is then to take out her fee, which was 3 figures and they would send further instructions of what to buy with the rest with abou$2,000. I'm awaiting a response from their office.

Ok. The check will bounce. You will be charged by your bank for depositing a bad check. Meanwhile the scammers know that your bank will do an initial clearing of the check in a few days even though it will take several weeks for it to be denied on the other end and bounced back to you. They will want you to quickly go 'perform the shop' which is irrelevant. After your wife 'withholds' her fees they will want the balance either sent along by wire transfer or possibly to purchase a cash card and send them the numbers off the back of the card so they can empty the card remotely. Do yourself a favor and just don't fall for it. Turn it all over to your local police or tear it up to dump in the trash.

Edited to add that you will be required to make your bank whole when the check bounces. If it overdraws your account you will get bounced check fees if you have written checks. Meanwhile you may be put on the internal bank system to track customers as a potentially dangerous customer.

Thanks Flash. I have no intentions of depositing this until I hear from the company via email. I'll post what they say when I get a response along with the names of the scammers if in fact that is what they are, which is probably true.

You don't need to wait for an email from this false company. Take the email to the police. This forum can't do anything about scams except to warn you, which we are doing. I know you want to believe your getting "free"
money, there is no free lunch. You will owe the bank money cashed...you have been pre-warned.

Live consciously....

I know. I want a response form the official web site of anonymous insights. If I get a response verifying what I already suspect, it will carry more weight with the local law enforcement or the Feds. Thanks for all your input. It is really helpful.

It is a scam - not a cash cow.

Check Scam

Dan Roberts does not work for or represent Anonymous Insights. This is a scam. DO NOT PROVIDE HIM WITH ANY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. IF HE SENT YOU A CHECK, DO NOT CASH IT. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY CASHED IT, DO NOT SPEND ANY OF THE MONEY AND DO NOT SEND HIM ANY MONEY. THIS CHECK IS GOING TO BOUNCE.

If you are willing to do so, please email me a copy of the check and letter that he (or anyone else) sent you. We would like to include these with our information we send to the attorney general, FBI, and FTC.

We have been receiving hundreds of notifications from shoppers about this. Please understand that we cannot contact each of you individually. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Please reply yes to this message so that we know you have received it. Also, can you please tell us how the check was delivered (USPS, FEDEX, UPS)

Btw...what email did you use? My email address is lengelp@a-insights.com.
Thank you

Thanks, Patti! We appreciate your input. We certainly try to protect the folks who bother to try to find out more about whether their fat check is legitimate and land here. I shudder to think about how many folks actually fall for these scams.

Flash,
We have been bombarded with calls over the past 2 weeks. So, I guess the good news is, many people are being smart and researching first. The bad news, many of the people cashed check or provided information
BEFORE asking questions. We are doing everything we can to stop this guy!

Hello Animal1953
Did you see my response below? Please email copies of anything you received (letter, check, return envelope) if you would like me to include in the file we are sending to the authorities.
Thank you,

BTW......PLEASE tell everyone you know about this.

Unfortunately when one googles Dan Roberts there are many of them out there, but when one googles 'Dan Roberts Anonymous Insights' both the a-insights.com website stating that you have no Dan Roberts and that it is a scam as well as your statement here pop to the top of the list. Hopefully the unwary will look before they leap in.

BTW, I received an email today from Janet Yellin indicating that the Federal Reserve is trying to clear up all foreign and national debts before the end of the year and they have $4,700,000 that is due me so I need to claim it by sending in my personal information and they can disburse it. Merry Christmas! The email came from TheFederalReserve.bo I think it was.
