I had started working for a mystery shopping company that I had found on google.com. It said it was approved by the BBB. I was contacted by Tia Patterson phone number 18005918949 extension 1. She was supposed to be over my assignments. They had sent me a package with a check in it with $4,984.00 and wanted me to deposit it to complete the assignments so I wasn't spending my own money. I had to go to 4 different stores and 2 different Western Union places. They never gave me a address to send the money but they gave me the phone number 416-834-6908. The 1st assignments went well and they had sent me another package and I had deposited the checked but never used it since I was out of town and the company had kept calling about doing more shops and then I saw the check was returned and thought it was the companies doing since I hadn't done the shops then on friday of last week I had gotten paid $313.06 from my part time job at Wendy's and had $498.62 in my account then a few hours later my account balance was $0.00. I called the company and Tia didn't know about any withdrawal and said she would find out what happened. I called my bank and they weren't sure but they saw I had a hold on my account. Then today I had a negative balance of -$4,485.38 from another check return. I called my bank and found out that the 2 checks never cleared which I was never told ahead of time yet they still let me use the money and I reported it to the banks fraud department. They told me I might owe them that money back. And i am only 18 and just started college and don't make money like that so I really can't pay it back.
