After thinking I had been in training to take a position as an assistant manager for 2 1/2 weeks my traing supervisor Ms. Linda Weissmann gave me several "tasks" to perform and time was of the essence. To quote the instructions "As you're a business account owner, we have picked the right corporate client fo you and you should be receiving funds from our client - "Dealer Management Services, Inc.".
The amount is: $49,730
You have to check your account and let me know if the funds have cleared for further distribution to the European markets."
I made sure that the funds did indeed originate from this client before proceeding any further, relying upon my managers instructions.
I checked and of course the funds were available and per Ms. Weissman's instructions I completed over the next 3 days dispersing these funds by means of 5 Western Union money in minutes wires and on International Wire in the amount of $20,450. I was instructed to reduce the amounts by the costs involved in sending the remainder of the funds out to the clients in Europe as outlined in the instructions from Ms. Linda Wiessmann of IvestCom Trade, LLP which is listed on the UK Companies House and had filed annual reports stating intentions to expand as I was led to believe and may well be the case as this may be someone scamming not just me but InvestCom as well.
I was informed by my bank, US Bank that the originating bank First Mariner Bank in Baltimore is requesting return of the funds claiming fraud on the afternoon of 8/3 after having I did do some investigating and generally to generate a wire transfer. This fraud claim seems very fishy. That is why I have named both as I am not sure who is defrauding whom all that is certain is that an employment agreement/contract was signed and I was acting on behest of my employer.
