I answered a posting on craigs list on Dec 4 to a company named ticketbravo.org, they claim they are a 20 year old company out of the Czech Republic, catering to clients all over the world, offering Football Tickets (soccer) and hospitality packages to clients.
Being a huge football fan myself and with the World Cup being played in South Africa, in 2010 I thought this to be a good opportunity to make some decent money, they were offering $40k to $60k a year and being 65 years old I needed the extra income.
They requested all my personal information on the "employment" application, driving license info, social security # in my case Permanent Resident info, bank account number (so I could get "paid" via wire when I closed deals.
On Dec 11th I found $899.00 deposited into my bank account, and 2 e-mail attachments with instructions to send $854.00 to their "agency" in the Czech Republic
For this I was paid $45.00 (extra money for Christmas) I thought, then on the 22nd and 23rd of Dec I did two more transactions, meaning I found wire transfers in my bank, with instructions to send these monies via Western Union to the same address.
Then on Christmas Day 2009 my bank account was frozen by the bank fraud dept. And the bank said that these transfers into my account were ftom stolen bank accounts and that I am liable even though I am a victim
My identity has been stolen, shock, embarrasment, stress, my good name gone with the banks, feelings of anger stupidness, and out and out hatred for these bastards, who did this, these are despicible morons who prey on not just people of my age but anyone who falls into this trap... Please do not do what I did.
I have filed Pollce Report FBI Report Secret Service Report, FTC Report, Western Union Fraud Report, ICE Reoort, Social Security Report, INS Report, Bank Fraud Reports, www.ic3. Gog report www.transunion.com report
PLease do not send any money through Western Union or money orders cashiers checks wire transfers unless you know the people personally, report anything suspicious to the Police
