AUSTIN - If you fell victim to the Professional Certification Service (PCS) rip-off TDLR has some tips for you. If you mailed PCS a check the Department encourages you to call yourbank immediately and place a stop payment on the check. If you mailed PCS a money order you should fill out the tracer requestthat was attached to it and submit the tracer to the money orderprovider. If it hasn’t been cashed you can request a new money orderwhich you can make payable to yourself to reclaim your money. Although both the bank and money order company will charge a fee forthe services it should be less than the amount PCS is stealing fromyou.
