Consumer Narrative
Hello, I was scammed out of {$2300.00}, and my California ID number, and address. I was initially recruited by the scammer ( s ) from a post on the XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX XXXX, where one member posted that her company was looking for part-time data entry workers. I was contacted by their hiring manager, interviewed over XXXX XXXX and I agreed to work for them, at $ XXXX for XXXX hours a week. Once hired I gave them my personal info, CA ID, phone number, physical address, and email address. After that, I was emailed a check of {$2500.00}, and asked to buy software in which the total cost was {$2300.00} ( I sent {$1000.00}, {$500.00}, {$800.00} to several different entities via XXXX, Bank of America ), for a computer which they would send me. However, the check which I was given and had deposited subsequently bounced. Before the first check had bounced which took 2days, the scammer ( s ) also gave me another check of {$3800.00} to deposit, because the previous amount wasnt enough for the software needed to do the job. I have not deposited that check.
