Total money lost $7,200
Type of a scam Employment
First critical point would be that I received this job offer to work remotely as I have a full-time job already in order to be able to put money aside for my 1-year-old son’s college fund. With that being said, I did not have a need nor did I ever actively seek employment for over 7 years. Recently when applying for employment for my second job, I’ve had numerous job offers and unfortunately this job offer turned out to be a well done scam to the unprepared eye.
After I deposited my so-called equipment and compensation for the week check and wired the money, I received an invoice with a higher dollar amount for the equipment. when I inquired in regard to the invoice, the response is what confirmed this job was a scam and unfortunately that was after the check was deposited in the funds were wired. Within 20 minutes of the deposit and the wiring of the funds, I was able to contact my bank speak with an agent, freeze my account, and bring attention to the two fraudulent transactions that were made unintentionally on my behalf. My account was frozen and they opened a new account, and they wanted to transfer funds out of my account into the new account in which I denied. I am grateful that I denied it because I would rather those funds stay in the compromised account until the conclusion of the investigation or some sort of resolution is made. Being that the check was $3,700 and the amount that was wired was $3,500 there was a $200 increment difference that I did not want to follow me to my new account while this account is being investigated. With my money tied up in the frozen account and my identity compromised, I felt very uncomfortable and start seeking alternative routes in regard to my predicament.
That’s when I found and called immediately the department of investigations for the state of Colorado and spoke with Deena who did a wonderful job of explaining what happened, what I should do, as well as equipping me with numerous different resources with you being one of them. She also instructed me to follow up with my bank in regards to my phone call to them on the 30th of June to stop the deposit of the check as well as reverse or recall the wiring of the funds. Upon following up with my bank, Citibank, I was outsourced and dealt with very unprofessionally which made me feel very uncomfortable. I believe everything was outsourced as It was the 4th of July weekend and after the 4th of July weekend I followed up with the bank just to find out the funds were wired without an investigation set forth as requested. I immediately made sure that this wire transaction is under investigation and confirmed it with a incident number to refer back to this time.
Today I reached out again and was able to speak with an agent that was helpful and looked into the situation. Since Citibank does not have any local branches in my state, I need to deposit all my checks through the mobile app and this representative told me although I froze my account and brought attention to the fraudulent check as well as the wired funds, since the check was deposited through the mobile app they are not able to stop the check because the mobile app verifies certain information and you cannot manually reverse it once it's verified.
Therefore, the check was processed the whole time while they knew it was fraudulent and there was nothing they could do about it (apparently), yet there was no investigation put forth on the wired funds as I requested. He did confirm that our conversation was notated and that I did request that the check have a stop payment placed on it and the funds that were wired to be recalled. Therefore I’m sure you are able to see why I am so anxious in this area of uncertainty depending on my bank to protect me and my funds, yet I have had to reach out multiple times just to find out things were not done correctly and when our conversation ended on the 30th of June and they were unable to put a stop to the payment of the check nobody ever reached out to update me on my predicament. If it were not for me following up so many times, this investigation would have never started and my account would have looked highly suspicious due to their negligence. This is what is causing me to reach out to as many points of contact in regards to this matter to protect myself as possible.
Once again please do not hesitate to give me a call or send me an email should you have any questions, concerns, and/or suggestions. If I do not answer, please leave me a message, and I will respond immediately. You’re consideration and assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated. I have about 40 other pictures of the entire conversation that took place throughout the fictitious job offer. What I have attached is just critical information in regards to the transactions and documentation for the fictitious job offer that compromised my identity and funds, as well as documentation in regards to shipping information of the package being sent to my house to the deposit and wiring of funds.
