Type of a scam Employment
James then mentioned I would be issued a check for $1,950 in order to reimburse me for IT computer and materials. My start date was supposed to be Monday 5/3. This email came from [email protected], with instructions to mobile deposit. During the interview James asked me for my Bank that I bank with. I had printed, signed and deposited the check on 4/29. This check then cleared at Wells Fargo on 4/30. James then asked me, using Zelle to send $1,950 (one $1,000 transaction and then another $950 transaction) to INGRAMSPARK VENDOR. I had used Apple Pay for the transaction, given I was more familiar. The number for Ingramspark Vendor was 214-497-6398. James then further asked for another $1,000 and that is when i became suspicious. I looked up on Linked In and noticed he did not have a Linked In profile. I also did a Google Search and noticed that others experienced the same instance. On 5/4, I immediately filed a fraud complaint with Wells Fargo and issued me a provisional credit for $1,950. I also contacted IngramSpark through their online website, and they would not be willing to do anything.
Wells Fargo would not be willing to help me as the transaction took place on a Peer to Peer payment platform, which Apple Pay was, and that they did not dispute rights for chargebacks for P2P platforms. I contacted Apple Pay as well, and transferred to Green Dot, which services the Apple Pay platform. Apple Pay mentioned it was Wells Fargo's problem. I filed a police report with Northampton Township, PA police, and was referred to the PA Victim's Compensation Program by Officer Clifton. The officer said the probability of solving this was very low. They deemed me ineligible as I was under age of 60 and not receiving social security income. I even contacted my U.S. Senator and they mentioned that this was outside of the scope of what they do. I even mentioned to Wells Fargo that I would change banks, including speaking with multiple supervisors, and they would not help me.
I am completely at a loss and have exhausted every avenue. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of by Wells Fargo. I have tons of documentation, including screenshots, showing the back-up. Honestly, during a pandemic and recently losing my job, I feel like I'm being penalized by trying to support my family with two little girls. I am asking for help and for someone to do something, versus shrugging their shoulders or putting their head in the sand.
