Report

I received a call from a person who claimed to be from Wells Fargo Bank. They asked me if I attempted to open a business checking account and so I replied no, I did not. They went on to tell me that this might mean that I had a leak in my personal information and that someone was stealing my identity. I was in a little bit of shock because this is all new information that was sprung onto me very fast. The lady then told me that she was going to transfer me to someone in their fraud department that dealt with identity theft. I was transferred to a different person who told me that I had multiple accounts open with a couple of different banks and that there was a warrant out on my name, even though I didn't open those accounts. She said next that I would be getting a call from the FBI so that they may help me with this case, in order to make my situation better. I then received a call from a (202) number, which was from Washington D.C. so I had no reason not to believe that it was not the actual FBI. I picked it up and the guy gave me his name and badge number and said he was part of the FBI then went on to tell me everything that I heard from the last two people and more, which made me believe that what they were saying was real. I was told that I had to take out what money I had of mine, that was actually mine and not from the supposed fake accounts made by the people who took my information. They gave me step-by-step instructions and since they were given by a 'federal officer' I was in no position to say no to them. I was under a lot of stress and they were giving me time-bound activities. They said that in order for my money to be safe and have the ability to be put back into my account after I take it out and they remove the hackers from my identity I must put it onto 'prepaid cards', that I could get from Walmart. I had a Walmart near me so he instructed that I go to that one. I kept him on the line the whole time as he instructed and said that if I were to tell anyone the reason for me getting these prepaid cards I would be in trouble. I did this and put $3,000 into 6 prepaid Walmart cards. After the purchase of these cards, I was instructed that I must tell him the card number, CVV, and expiration date so that he may ensure that they are registered and able to be put back into my account. At this point, I was just blindly following because I was under so much stress. Once he got the card numbers he said that I would be getting a call from someone the following day and that I would be meeting with local law enforcement to retrieve my account. He told me to have a good day and that was it. I checked the prepaid cards' balances today just to ensure that I was correct about whether this was a scam or not and I was correct, all of the funds on them are out of my hands and into theirs. They faked being a member of the FBI and forced me to put my own money onto prepaid cards that I bought for them under their influence.
