I was unemployed and needed a job, so I went on Washingtonpost.com/jobs to help my search for employment. Was hired on March 19, by the hiring desk of Vital Health LTD via email. I conducted an online interview with a Mrs. Tracey Hudson. After the interview Mrs. Hudson informed me I was the perfect match for the job. I started immediately the next day. Day one on the job i receive my first task of duties which was a little research on a few fortune 500 companies. After assessing my assignments, Mrs. Hudson implies that i would be needing software for my training for the position, and a check will be mailed to my address the next morning and that was the end of my first work day. Day two I received the check FedEx and was emailed instructions. The instructions were to deposit the funds ($2,760.00) into my account. Once the funds were available in the account, i was then instructed to then withdrawn the money from my account and Western Union the funds to the software vendor. The vendor information was:
Name: Kathleen Buck
City: Jennings
State: FL
Zip code: 32053
After the transaction, I was told by my supervisor (Mrs. Tracey Hudson) the software would be at my door in the morning via FedEx.instead of me waking up to software at my doorstep, I receive a email from my supervisor saying the funds were insufficient for the vendor and more was needed for my supplies as well (printer, copier, etc). She said "I want to inform you that the check to use for purchasing your working materials was mail out to you yesterday and you will receive it today and i will provide you with the tracking number later okay?". I became suspicious. That night i tried to use my card to make a purchase at a convenience store and it was declined. I thought nothing of it and just paid cash. The next day I went to my bank to see what the problem was. That was when I was informed the check was a FRAUD. I proceeded to come home and end all communications to the supervisor and report the crime done. Since the scam my accounts have been frozen until the fund are back in the account. I have no money now to provide for my family.
