Consumer Narrative
On Monday XXXX XXXX, I was hired for a XXXX XXXX XXXX position, I went through the whole interview process, I signed contact, and everything seemed legit. The next day the sent me a check that I deposited for {$1600.00} I was told this would be the money used for my equipment and software that would be used for the position. The following day they sent me another check for {$1500.00} also deposited the check and put ached XXXX {$500.00} gift cards from XXXX because they told me this would be used for the equipment as well. I asked why they sent 2 checks and they stated that my deposit limit for my bank is XXXX $ so they had to split up the checks and at the time it all made sense to me. So I purchased the equipment and sent a total of {$3100.00} to the company and once PNC recognize those checks were fake and fraudulent they took XXXX $ leaving my account negative. I am now in a terrible position not knowing how Im going to pay for any of my expenses including my daughter. This is a nightmare and I dont know what to do. PNC denied both of my disputes. I filed a police report, sent them all the information I had of the scammers exc. I really need help.
