Received an unsolicited check from Budget Consulting Services - 300 Centre Pointe Dr. Virginia Beach VA 23462. who claim to be "leaders in mystery shopping and customer service evaluation" and claim to be registered with the BBB (not in their database)
The check is for $2,938.68, Harris Trust and Savings Bank,Roselle, IL to become a 'Consumer Survey Specialist'.

I reported to the FBI and to the BBB. The BBB forwarded my statement to Avis Budget of 300 Centre Pointe Dr. Virginia Beach, VA. A person from Avis Budget called me (or I would not have known this) and explained that they also have been victims of fraud by fictitious companies. My story wasn't new to them, numerous reports are on file with the FBI.
'Budget Consulting Services' is unlikely to exist, the BBB closed the file.
Avis Budget has nothing to do with my complaint and were unjustly associated.
