I applied for jobs on Career Builder, a reputiable website. Then one day I recieved a check in the US postal mail for 4,985.00 and new hire paperwork for a secret shopper. I was directed to deposit the check and send some of the moneythrough money gram. I thought this was too good to be true until I checked their website, called and confiirmed my employment with Chris Eggleston and verifired the check and directions. I did not have an account at that time so I held on to the check.
Some time later, I recieved another check by Fed X. There was no paperwork. Then I recieved an email from, Gary Tayor and a company Brand Evauation. It had very detailed new hire paperwork and then a later email had directions. I thought this was the same company as the 1st, but it was in the US. Another Branch I thought. After several emails back and forth, I opened an account and deposited the checks. I opened a savings account for my 15 year old son with the funds I was paid with. I sent several monaygrams, with different amounts and I left my $1400.00 and my sons $100.00 in the bank. I mailed all the paperwork and reciepts to the person in Deltona, FL.
Now the checks bounced and my bank sent my info straight to the cops. There was about $7000.00 overdrawn. I sent so many different amounts and different places and days I don't have the info to verify I wasn't part of this scam.
If anyone has this experience please write and post experience and what you have done to get the cops off you. I never got my pay of $1400.00 or my sons $100.00 so I really got screwed. Now I am scafred to death I will get arrested.
