Type of a scam Employment
I was hired for a company named ABFS Consulting Solutions, LLC in New York. The company seemed legitimate and they sent me all the information proving that legitimacy. The company did a credit check on me and offered me a position as a regional Procurement/Products Manager. They were also able to check my credit card balances and told me which credit cards I should start using according to the remaining balance on each. They "hired" me and told me to start a 15-day trial period using two of my credit cards (Bank of America Travel Rewards and Citicard AA Advantage) to make purchases. They sent me 2 accounts numbers and two routing numbers from the "company accounts" and told me to pay off these two credit cards. I was supposedly authorized with my name to add that two- account information to my online banking in order to make the money transfers to my credit cards. I paid my credit cards off several times with the funds they "allow me" to transfer. My banks allowed these payments and I purchased thousands of dollars on iPhones and sent them to the address they provided me in Hong Kong (I have the name and the address of the person in Hong Kong). For some reason, after two weeks making purchases, the payments I did to my credit cards were reversed; therefore, now I owe my credit cards the money I used to buy the iPhones.
