Consumer Narrative
I was contacted about a work from home job through email and when I replied they sent a text saying to get on XXXX XXXX for the interview. I went through the interview that lasted about 45 minutes with questions and then I got an email congratulating me on getting the job. After that they asked if I had a fax machine and other equipment and I had some but they wanted a specific laptop and data entry software and asked if I had worked with petty cash, but not until they had me fill out a W-4 and I9 and had a copy of my social security card and drivers license. They said they were the company XXXX. They then said they were going to send me a check to cover the supplies, when I asked where I would get the stuff they said they have a vendor that I just send the money to. They sent the check and I deposited it and told them I wouldnt do anything until their TD Bank check cleared. They said it would clear the next day even though I said it takes 2-3 business. The check cleared the next day and the money was in the account. I researched XXXX and saw that it was a huge corporation and totally legit and the check had their logo and address on it. I wired the money to a XXXX account with the name XXXX XXXX and the routing # XXXX acct # XXXX with a XXXX XXXX, Utah address which I have as well. That night my account was overdrawn and the people I was talking to said thats never happened before and their accounting department would fix it in the morning. They disappeared after that and I could not contact them. XXXX XXXX was the name I spoke with on Teams. I have all the emails from them and screenshots of the FBI report. The bank denied the claim because TD Bank took the money back and the wire was taken from the account and now my account is overdrawn and they took our money and they didnt overdraw the account of the perpetrator. I thought a had a job and not I dont have a job and our bank account is overdrawn.
