I was working for Gateway Business Support LLC for 2 1/2 weeks. After about 12 days, they sent me two fraudulent money grams which I actually cashed worth 1870 dollars. Needless to say had my bank not noticed the fake money grams I would have been in a world of hurt. I was lucky no money was sent before they caught it. But now, they are avoiding me. I used IM every day for 2 1/2 weeks to talk to these people, I have an employee contract, Names, phone number(always get voice mail) and all correspondance with these people. But the one thing I did do is keep those fake money grams. I am ready to sue these people. They owe me 600 dollars for actual work I completed online and submitted to them. I think that is what makes me the maddest. I want them to pay. Please help me.
Sincerely,
Robyn Samuell

This company is definitely a FAKE! I too received two money orders and unfortunately, my bank was not on the ball (nor was I – too trusting I guess) and I was scammed out of $1,870! I am going to police in my home town and contact the Better Business Bureau to get the word out and hope this doesn’t happen to othes.

Hi, this is to both Robyn and Donna… I am currently working for Gateway, or so I think. I found their ad on an medical transcriptionist job board and got the job. I have been with them for 2-1/2 weeks and today received the two money orders via FedEx. I too have been communitcated with someone on IM who has been very vague. They have been badgering me about when I was going to be able to cash the money orders. I am convinced that they are a scam. I am furious because I worked my butt off for 2 weeks and now I discover it was all for nothing. The only thing that I am curious about are the actual money orders. I know that the entire thing is fishy, but the money orders were issued by the United States Postal Service. I don’t know how they got away with that. Anyway, THANK YOU guys so much for sharing your info about this company. I am severing ties with the company before anything else puts me (or my bank account) in jeopardy. Please email me as soon as you can so that I could talk to you more and see where I should go from here.

Paige:
I am so glad the posting that says “Gateway is a Fake!” is now posted on Google when you search for Gateway Business. I unfortunately cashed the first two money orders and lost $1.870! Needless to say, I am just sick. I am going to the police station here in my home town because there is another lady here in town who was taken by the same company or one very similar. I found this out through my sister who works at the Unemployment Office. I am also going to turn this company into the Better Business Bureau. Other than that, I don’t know what else to do. I sent a very nasty email to the IM person I had all the contact with. I told her “I don’t know how you sleep at night”. I was quite nasty. Other than getting my frustration out that way, not sure what else can be done. You are very lucky you held off on cashing the money orders – hopefully we can keep others from making the same mistake.
