Now I did receive access to the back office and I did everything that was asked of me
fill out schedule for availability
and YES.......the direct deposit form!! But they didn't like it so much when the account I gave them didn't have money in it. That the account was strictly for deposits only. They insisted on a different account being used!!
I will post more information on South Value which apparently has no value at all later.
Point being now is this, SOUTH VALUE IS A COMPLETE SCAM that had a nice...almost believable layout.....but not nice enough!! SO DO NOT FALL FOR IT!!! That's my job ; )!!!
