Type of a scam Employment
The position was supposed to be an online, work from home.
So I was supposed to use the check he sent me for $4,870.35 via fedex to go and buy the office materials in order for me to work from home.
After my "interview " was over on the second day he told me that he had already mailed out a check & to go deposit it to my account right away because it would take 24hrs to go through.
On the 3rd day of interacting after the check went through, I was told to go and withdraw 4,000 from the check. Then head to a CVS or Walmart using money gram because my "supplies" would be purchased through one of their vendors. & I was to withdraw cash from the check to pay for the money gram.
Following the instructions, I withdrew the cash from the check and went to my local CVS to make the transaction. The vendor information that was given to me was, "Amos Rone, City: Contonou, State Cotonou, State Benin, Zipcode 00229 and Rita Adams, City: Contonou, State Cotonou, State Benin, Zipcode 00229."
Money gram had $1800 limit transaction per 24 hours, so therefore the transaction was broken down into multiple days. After doing the transaction for multiple days I was then told to withdraw the rest of the funds from the check, giving me a remaining of about $1200 and make the remaining transaction.
On the 4th day I was then told that the original check amount was not enough to cover the cost of the materials. I was then told that I would need an additional $1000 to cover the remaining cost and that I would be reimbursed the following day with a check. Following the instructions I withdrew $1000 of my own personal funds and make the transaction through money gram.
Later on in the evening of the 4th day, I then received a notice from my bank saying that my account has a balance of under $25. I checked my account, just to find that I have a negative balance over $3000. With the concern, I immediately contacted the guy that was giving me instructions, he then showed that he was concern for the situation as well and told me that he will find out what happened with the accounting department.
On the 5th day, I went to my bank and told them my situation with my account. After looking into my account I was then told that check was bounced back because it was a forgery check and that I would need to contact the check sender for them to notify their bank that they are making a transaction of that amount and a new check would have to be sent to me. While, talking to my bank I was informing the guy about what the problem was and he told me that problem would be rectified in 3-5 days,he gave me reinsurance would help me ASAP. Following that evening I wanted to get an update of my status, so I messaged him and I have not gotten back any responses.
