Consumer Narrative
During a job search I applied for a XXXX XXXX XXXX that was listed for a XXXX XXXX in Indiana. I was contacted and given a job offer. I was asked to send all of my personal information ie name, address, phone number ... and given a contract to sign and a Direct Deposit form. After I had filled out all of the information and sent it back to the person, I was told I would need to buy office equipment. On XXXX XXXX XXXX, I was emailed a check for {$4500.00}, told to deposit it, and then send it to their vendors for purchase of an XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and printer. I sent XXXX wire transfers from my bank, and a XXXX payment. Wire transfer to a bank in California and a XXXX payment to XXXX XXXX. The next day, XX/XX/2022, I realized that I had been scammed and contacted my bank. I am now {$3500.00} to the negative at my bank, and will receive an estimated {$1700.00} on the first of the month from my VA disability. The bank did an investigation and said there was no fraud and they can't help me. I don't know what to do. Please stop this and don't let anyone else fall into this trap. It is devastating and I feel violated. Also, I don't know how I'm going to live for the next month. Thank you for your time.
