I received an email from a Jeremy Watts offering me a job doing data entry. I just moved to Tempe to be with my boyfriend so I went for the job. I found out it was a work from home job. I wasn't skeptical at first since I know a few people who have legitimate online jobs. I signed a contract with them, opened a new bank account (since I didn't have one) and gave them my bank info. I was contacted by a woman named Eileen Gibbs who told me she was my manager. Her accent was Indian and yet her name didn't really match. I didn't say anything about it because her first name could have been legit and she could have been married to an American.
Anyways, money was sent to my account along with instructions. I was instructed to go to western union and send the money to a client, who was in Russia. I wasn't suspicious at this point because I was informed that it was for training purposes. I had a few problems with bank account that resulted in them not being able to send anymore to that account. On the 13th of Feb Bank of America put a -888,888.88 account hold on my account and said it was fraudulent activity, but they refused to say why, or what happened. I had googled the Bank of America 888,888.88 and found a bunch of people who had the same problem so I assume it was Bank of America being royal as*holes (Because they are the devil and will devour your soul) and never connected it to my job.
I had opened another account with Chase at the time, so I gave Eileen my second account info. After a lot of heartache with Bank of America. The account was closed down. Through my Chase account I received a wire transfer from an Anna H. I sent the money again and with my false sense of security went about the rest of my day. The next day I was contacted by Chase telling me that the wire transfer from Anna H. Was illegally done. They asked if I still had the money, which I did not... I told the lady on the phone about my job and she informed me it was a scam. They hijack accounts and send small amounts of money to gullible people like me, who then withdraw the money and send it to someone in on the scam making the money completely legal. This is a common scam apparently. After crying, screaming and throwing things... I contacted IC3 and filed a complaint with them.
Do not trust this company. No matter how legit their website and all their references look, it's a scam.
