Total money lost $50
Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
I answered an ad on craigslist for a mystery shopper job. I was contacted a few weeks later thru email and sent a cashiers check with instructions on what to do next. I was supposed to mystery shop for western union…The check was for $1495..I was supposed to deposit in my bank and when clear..withdraw my $220 for job and make two money orders for two different people and send. I was a bit skeptical and called their bank to make sure check had funds before depositing in my bank. They approved funds and I deposited. A few days later my bank contacted me with overdraft charges and fraudulent check info.. I was devasted..sent the company a nasty email and of course no answer. I deposited money back into my account and now my bank is closing my account. Dont care about the $50 i lost..just want to make people aware of such a scam.
