Cyber Security Solutions
FRAUDULENT Bonus Checks for Non-Existent Work

On June 3, I was perusing Monster.com looking for a part-time job. I found a job listing for a US Part-Time Representative. The company is called Cyber Security Solutions. I replied to the job and they sent me an application. I filled it out and was advised to sign a contract and return it to the fax number listed on the contract.

I tried asking for more information on the company but they advised me that I would be receiving a packet in the mail. The ad stated that they would pay us 2250.00 up front for our services. I contacted Tosla Vilastala in the Cyber Security Solutions Accounting Department regarding my pay per their instructions.

He then advised me that a US Creditor would be sending me a check but they would not be able to cut the check for another month unless I wanted them to send me $30,000 right now. He went on to say that if he sends me 30,000 right now that I can take an additional 2250.00 for myself as a bonus for starting early.

I agreed with some skepticism. I received the check on 6/18 via FEDEX from a company called Schuff Inc. Out of Phoenix, Arizona. The check was from Wells Fargo Bank so I thought that it was legitimate. I deposited it into my account and awaited further instructions. He told me that he would like me to wire transfer the remaining balance after the check clears.

He said that he would give me an additional $1700.00 for handling this transaction. However, he wanted me to pull the remaining balance out of the account and send the money to 3 different people via western union. I started to get extremely suspicious so I called the detective bureau in Akron and also the FBI in both Cleveland and Akron, Ohio. I did not receive a return phone call. I told Tosla that I could not pull that amount out of my checking account and that I would need a bank account number, name and address to wire transfer the amount. He put up a fight over this but he gave me the information. When I deposited the money, it had showed up in my account the next day.

The bank never made me fill out a hold form nor did they tell me that the funds would not be available. Well, I am getting married in October and I needed to pay some bills so I started to pay out my bills off of what I had just earned from Cyber Security Solutions. On June 25, I went out to dinner with my fianc and my debit card was declined. I knew that there was money in there so I did not understand.

We called the bank when we got home and they told me that a hold was placed on the account but they could not tell me why. Well this hold was released the next day but was put back on hold again 2 hours later. They were investigating the check to see if it was counterfeit. On June 26, the bank had returned the check because they stated it was a BAD CHECK. Now my account is $6200.00 in the red because I thought I had the money in there but this company was fraudulent so I don't.

I called up Monster.com to talk to someone about the ad that was placed and what has occurred. The gentleman advised me that the FBI is already investigating this company and that I should give them a call. It appears that numerous people were hit by this same incident. I know that I was not the only person affected by this. I want to inform others about this horrendous situation. I am afraid that it might even be terrorist activity. Monster.com is the most widely used employment website in the nation and worldwide.

They have tapped into a network that millions of individuals peruse everyday. This is terrifying and now I am experiencing tremendous emotional anguish as well as financial insecurity. I can't pay my rent nor put food in our mouths because of this. I am actively seeking employment but have had no luck up to this point. Some individuals lost a lot more money than I did. Some are out $30,000 to $50,000 dollars instead.
