Highland Financial

Review: I received a letter in the mail from this company saying that they saw that I completed a survey online regarding a desire to earn money through a part time job. In the letter, they explained the job that they were offering me as a "Consumer Service Evaluator". To complete this job, they mailed me a check of $1,396.00, which I was told to deposit in my bank account. The first assignment given to me was to transfer $976 back to my Area Manager, [redacted] and evaluate the Western Union store. The second assignment stated was to take our $70 from my account and use the money to shop at either Walmart, Walgreens, K-Mart, Costco, Best Buy, Home Depot, or Office Depot. The receipts should then be faxed to the company. The last $350 of the $1,396 was stated to be my salary. I took the check for $1,396 and cashed it at my bank. After realizing that this company is most likely a scam, I tried to contact them, in the hopes to return the money that they sent me. I have called the company multiple times and have received no answers. I also faxed them a letter explaining my situation, which they received, but did not respond to.Desired Settlement: I would like to send the money back to this company that I cashed. I don't want to send them a check from my bank account so that they don't have any more of my information than they already have. If possible, I would like for you to contact this company since I haven't been able to get in touch with them to resolve this situation for me. Thank you.

Response:

The address given on the letter mailed to me was [redacted]. An additional address was also given for the company's head office at [redacted]. I attached a file to my complaint showing the exact letter that was mailed to me. At the top left corner of the letter is where I found the addresses. Thanks again.
