FRAUD ALERT – CHECK SCAM

BASA Resources, Inc. has recently been made aware of individuals receiving fraudulent mailings appearing to be from our company. These mailings contain a letter which offers the addressee an opportunity to participate in a consumer research program.

The scam letter proposes that the recipient spend money at stores and wire funds to an agent in order to evaluate the merchants/providers. In exchange, the recipient can cash the check accompanied with the letter which will cover their expenses and compensate them for performing these tasks.

THE CHECK IS COUNTERFEIT. Should these fraudulent checks be cashed, they will eventually bounce, leaving the person who cashed the check liable for any purchases or actions taken after the initial deposit.

If you have received a fraudulent mailing like this that appears to be from BASA, we are requesting that you call us at 214-580-5272 and leave a detailed message or email us at CheckInquiry@basaresources.com.
