I sent a Western Union (MTCN # 6298687791) to someone and did a survey on the store on June 6 at 4:00 P.M. At BIG K Mart. The Amount was $2,050.00 but totaled out to be $2,226.00 because of the Western Union fee. AFTER I did the transaction, I looked it up online and found a lot of reports on the supposed company, Feed Plus Secret Shopper, and realized that it was more than likely a scam because a lot of people talked about their "scamming experience" with them. I was totally sketched about the whole thing while the check was on hold in my account, but then the check CLEARED!!! So I assumed it was legit. Anyway, I just don't know what to do. If someone could inform me on what steps to take that'd be awesome. My bank account is now overdrawn $2,677.21. Although I'm only responsible for two bills, they're still extremely important as my credit is at hand.
FYI: He's even been texting me.
