Consumer Narrative
This complaint is regarding US Bank. I received a cashier 's check in the mail from an unknown Sender for {$3500.00} and an offer to become a " XXXX XXXX '' at local businesses in my area. I was to enter the businesses, critique the staff and store, buy gift cards from several different specific stores totaling {$3000.00}. I was then to send pictures of the giftcards to the Sender. I would be able to keep {$500.00} for the XXXX XXXX services. I thought it sounded fishy and was suspicious. I took the cashier 's check to my bank and told the teller of my concerns. I asked her to confirm whether or not the check was valid. She took some time in the back, and eventually returned and told me yes, it had " gone through ''. She gave me the {$3500.00} in cash. I completed my services for the Sender, sent him the receipts as requested and was done with it. Approximately XXXX week later I received a notice from my bank that the cashier 's check had been fraudulent, and they wanted their {$2800.00} back as they had already deducted all my money, {$700.00}, which was all the money I had in the account. Understandably, I immediately cancelled the account and left that bank. Now years later, this has shown up on a credit application check.
