Kirker Holidays - loss of $5000.00 and stolen checks were used as payments from them to me!!

I received an email from Alex Greendel. But my email that Alex Greendel sent me from his Hotmail address, stated that a Ardenio Galionni proposing a position with their company Kirker Holidays. But the Hotmail address was no good and also his gmail address was no good. I was also sent three checks by postal service which I had to sign for, that were over $2500.00 each. I went to the bank to do what I was instructed to do by Alex Greendel, and the bank told me that all three checks were FRAUDULENT!!! All three checks were supposed to be cashed and money grammed to Russian Federation, Moscow.

I had the same issue and was almost arrested in Nevada. I didn't attempt to cash the check, I took it to the bank it was drawn on because I was concerned.

Kirker Holidays - Vacation Service Review from Killeen, Texas

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Do not do business with a "Alex Greendel", he claims he is a Personnel Manager at Kirker Holidays. He had sent a check for a vacation service over $2,200 and I went to the issuing bank and they said it was a fraudulent check. DO NOT DEPOSIT CHECKS INTO YOUR BANK FROM KIRKER HOLIDAYS- Instead to be safe, go to the issuing bank and see if it is a legit check. I still am not sure if this Alex Greendel even works for Kirker Holidays. The official Kirker Holidays team has not responded back to me when I left several "Contact Me" forms.

Yes, I was also scammed by Alex Greendel at Kirker Hoildays in London Europe. I went through the same thing that the consumer from Killeen, Texas went through.

Thank you and have a great day.

Loss of $5000.00 and stolen checks were used as payments from them to me.

I was employed by Kirker Holidays for a brief period. During that time they had 3 checks delivered to me by mail. The united states postal service is now involved as well as attorney general. The checks were stolen from someone and were passed to me as payment for vacation services. Please be wary of any communication with this company, do not by any means get involved with them. They are very persistent when trying to get you to accept employment from you and will use crafty words and give you a signed contract that mean nothing in the end.

I got the same email as you did from Alex Greendel. But my email that Alex Greendel sent me from his Hotmail address, stated that a Ardenio Galionni sent me an email proposing a position with there company Kirker Holidays.

But the Hotmail address was fraudulent and also his gmail address was fraudulent.

I was also sent three checks by postal service that was over $2500.00 each, and I also went to the bank to do what I was instructed to do by Alex Greendel, and the bank also told me that all three checks were FRAUDULANT!!! All three checks were supposed to be cash and money grammed to Russian Federation.

Kirker Holidays nightmare

Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. Anyone can make a mistake. When this firm did first they denied all knowledge, then they denied there was a problem at all, then they blamed the airline. Finally they compounded the problem by randomly booking seats for party members on other flights. There is a culture of blame and recrimination here that goes all the way to the top. Their subsequent letter of apology was riddled with hubris and breathtakingly patronising. Avoid like the plague unless you want terrible service from staff too afraid to do the right thing when things go wrong. Look elsewhere. Anywhere.
