Under the impression of gainful employment, I began a "training" period with this company. Prior to that I was instructed to give information regarding my bank account. This is a direct exerpt from an email I recieved from the company following my inquiry regarding the use of my personal bank account:
"One of your duties is to distribute payments from our clients to our programmers. You will be dealing with relatively small amounts (average 5-8 thousand) making payments directly to our programmers. Our client in the US makes a transfer to our local MT as a part of payment for a project we provided. The MT will distribute the funds directly to some of our programmers. All the costs are covered by us."
For my first project, I was to transfer $4300 from my bank account to someone in the Ukraine and Russia via Money Gram and Western Union. The entire process of transactions runs smoothly until later that afternoon when my debit card is declined and I am unable to access my account information online. I call the bank to find out what has gone wrong and they tell me that I may be a victim of internet fraud, thusly my internet banking has been disabled and i have a negative balance of $4208. Apparently, the wire transfer from the compan was only a temporary manifestation that dissolved itself following the withdrawl from the bank, leaving me wit a $4300 debt that I cannot pay nor saw any profit or gain from. I feel as if I gave away $4300 that I did not have.
