I found an ad in the paper for "Postal Positions", that paid $15.00-$39.00 an hour. So I called and discussed it with the lady, she told me about it and about the payment. I said that I'd pay with a check, thinking that I'd send it in with the forms that I'd have to fill out. This was my first bank account so I saw nothing wrong with giving my personal information. A few days later I received a bank notice that said I had insufficient funds and that a check had bounced because a check for "Exam Prep" had gone through.
I immediatly called my bank, they said to call the company's customer service, which I did. After I had started to tell what happened the man started yelling at me telling me that I must have a mental problem, or maybe I was "retarded" and that the woman I had spoken to was no longer employed. However after all this he said that they would "cancel the transaction". Not only did they not cancel the transaction, and return the money they had taken, but two months later they went into my account again making me go deeper into a negative balance.
Soon after I received a letter from an attorney's office that said I had to contact them about my check, so I immediatly wrote back to the exact address which it came from but my letter came back saying that the address didn't exist or was "unknown".
Two months ago a letter came from an entirely different organization telling me that I had to contact them and pay them! I contacted them right away and the woman told me now that I owed $370, unsure of how $105.90 had gotten to that. The woman has since bothered me, threatening to get a warrant for my arrest.
