Applied for job to work from home online and was responded by Nicole Marth from Aesculap Implant Systems in Center Valley, PA to log on to ymail and I would receive an e-mail from him. I received that email and once he stated his name and company I went on line to see if it was legit. I did find the company with the correct address and then proceeded. I was sent a check in the amount of $1,950.00 via FedEx which was to be deposited into my account on May 13 and then send money to Zeguil Rosario in Kirkland, WA which I did. Later that afternoon, Mr. White told me to retrieve the funds, send to Mrs. Zeguil Rosario in Puerto Rico. Again was told to retrieve the funds and send to Eugene Lenker in Saegertown, PA. At that time I started to get a "funny feeling" but unlike me ignored it. The next morning, May 14 Mr. White stated that all was good and we needed to proceed and unfortunately I did give him my bank info... I know not smart and it's something I would not normally consider. On May 15, I noticed the $1,950.00 was withdrawn from my account and I received another check via FedEx for $2,400.00 which was deposited and the bank put a hold on the check and was told to send money to Edward Lenker in PA. Again was told to withdrawl that Western Union and send the money to Ayo James in Nigeria... At that point something just wasn't sitting right. Well on May 17 that $2,400 was withdrawn from my account obviously leaving me at $1,700 overdrawn. I have subsequently notified the FBI, IC3, closed my account, notified Credit Bureaus, and contacted the company in which they said that I am not the first person to be scammed by this individual. Believe me it's not a lesson I wanted to learn the hard way, but it happened and I truly believe the Karma is a Bitch.
