I began working for this company two weeks ago. My job was to process money that they wired to me. My first job, I received a transfer of $6200. I was to send part to one person in Russia by Money Gram and then the remainder to another person in Russia by Western Union. I withdrew the money from my checking account and wired the funds. Then the following week, another $2900 was "supposedly" dpeosited into my account. I was given instructions to wire the money via money gram again to Russia. I was advised to write a check for these funds as so I could get the job done without waiting on the money to be available for withdraw. Of course, I did not do that.instead I went to the bank to try to withdraw the money. The clerk at the bank explained to me that although the money had been wired to my account, it was immediately pulled back out and my account was now frozen. I then called the Risk Management department at my bank who explained to me that with both transactions, the sending company tried to pull the funds back stating that the money was not mine and should not be withdrawn. They then explained that my account was being closed for FRAUD. I did not commit fraud, the company tried to steal money from me. I explained all this to the gentleman who I considered my boss. He told me he would take care of the issue, but meanwhile to give him a different checking account number so I could follow through with the transaction. I refused and asked for immediate compensation. He informed me that I would be compensated for all the trouble and for the money that is now frozen in my account.
I felt horrible. I tried to call his secretary from my phone, but the call would not go through. So I called from my fiances phone, and it went through. He blocked my number so my call could not be transfered to the secretary. After some investigating, I found numbers of other employees who were doing the same job I was doing. During calls, I found that this was not the first account that he had messed up and he goes by different names. I was astonished and I advised the others to get out while they can before he takes their money. Most of them emailed him and told him they would no longer be working for him because of me. I then received message after message from him threatening me. Saying things such as "you don't know who you're messing with" and "you will pay". He also sent threatening messages via IM to his secretary. He told her "you will never get married" and "You've F*ed with the wrong person". I spoke with a lady from the Bureau of Commercial Services Corporation Division in Michigan that said that there was no such company in Michigan.
Also, I have searched for both names he goes under and neither are available anywhere. Today, I am taking all steps possible to ensure the safety of my family as well as others who may have became prey of this man and the money laundering scam he is running. Please be advised this is a dangerous company. Do not give out private information regarding your checking account! I wish I would have been smart enough not to myself, but he preys on single, stay-at-home mothers that need money.
