Mystery Shoppe
Consumer Report

I received an email from an individual named Larry Lawson after looking into being a mystery shopper. He sent me the information to perform a job and said he was going to fed ex a check for $1886 and I was to cash the check, take out $200 for my pay, $50 to shop at Wal-mart and send an evaluation on services, then the rest of the check I was to send western union to another agent in Texas for him to do basically the same thing I was doing. I did recieve a cashiers check through fed ex on July 28. My bank would not cash the check but said to deposit it into my account and then I could draw out the funds or write a check from my account to cash. The check was drawn on an account with a bank called Suburban Bank & Trust in Il. The check was sent from a company called Shermin-Williams Diversified out of OH. My bank put a hold on the check for verification procedures. On 8/5 I tried to use my debit card and it was refused, after contacting my bank I was sent to the risk department where the person told me that the check I deposited in the amount of $1886 was a counterfeit check and that due to my banks procedures they were closing my checking account and I would not be allowed to open another account ever with this bank. They have now charged me the amount of the counterfeit check plus a $12 fee, for total amount of $1898. I am now broke because they took what money I had in my account and I am now having trouble opening another account at any bank. This has ruined my life and I do not know what else to do. I did contact the bank Surburban & Trust which the counterfeit check was drawn on, but have not received a response back. I also contacted Sherwin-Williams Diversified and did receive an email today and the woman told me that it was brought to her attention just this morning by the company's lost pervention department that someone had hacked one of their fed ex accounts and was sending out counterfeit checks. She recommended that I contact fed ex, which I did, but that was no help either. Could someone please let me know what I should do to recover my money and clear this up with my bank. Thank you.
