Consumer Narrative
I received a fake job offer and the employer was not real. They sent me checks in order for me to purchase their required equipment. So I received XXXX checks of {$4800.00} and those went through. They then told me to wire transfer these funds to people claimed to be vendors to purchase the equipment. No equipment was purchased. I sent them the XXXX wire transfers of {$3500.00} required by the fake employer. Another XXXX {$1000.00} through XXXX to people they said worked for their company as well. Lastly the transfers all went through and now all the checks came back as invalid and chargebacks. I am now negative in my account because of this scam and I have never been scammed before. This money is large too over XXXX and I am just very disappointed and concerned for my situation.They also told me to purchase an XXXX and XXXX post paid plan with my own money first and they would reimburse me. Also I did buy those XXXX items and once I did they asked me to send it to their technicians in Texas to add a work tracking device to keep track of my working hours. So I sent both devices in hopes they would reimburse me and send the products back. They never responded to me again. Please help regarding these issues with the devices. I dont know what to do, I just feel so scammed. I dont want to pay monthly installment plans for them when I was taken advantage of. All of these transfers and fake checks happened beginning XX/XX/22 and the last transfer was sent XX/XX/22.
