Accountancy Business Support Ltd. Watch out! Something shady is going on here! Internet, Internet

Something really shady is going on with this organization, so don't waste your time with them.  I started with them on January 29, 2010.  My first month was to be for training of which I would be paid $3500 for the first month.  I started doing my bank research task for them of which I completed and then the next task I was given to start working on was and office lease options research task.  I was approached for this position by Edward Moore.  After I completed the application process and filled out the employment agreement and was advised my personal manger would be Julia Hudson.  Once starting I did have phone conversations and correspondence with her through their back office system that I was given access to.  I had received messages from Julia advising me to monitor my bank account because one of their partners is due to wire a deposit into it so I could complete an assignment for her.  This went on for about 2 weeks and nothing appeared and I advised her but thought nothing of it because I would not be able to perform an assignment without the money anyway. 

On February 9, I had been notified via my back office account that I am to be paid to that point $1500.  I asked Julia when it would be deposited to my account and she told me it would be done by the end of the week.  NOTHING!  The next week, still no pay!  I just stopped working on my research because I figured if they don't pay then I can use my time for more productive things.  Finally, on February 18, 2010 I got a call from Julia to check my account again because she had an assignment for me.  I looked and the amount wired into it was for $4820.  I asked her if $1500 of that amount was to be for my pay and she told me yes to deduct that because the amount I would have to wire for my assignment would be $3320.  So ok, I did that.  I then continued on to work on my research task and then on February 22, I noticed I was locked out of my account. I found this out when I tried to fill out my timetable for the day and the site took me directly back to the login page.  I tried to log in again but got a message saying I am not allowed to log in. 

Of course I could not communicate this with Julia Hudson since my main source of reaching her is through the account.  I sent numerous emails to Edward Moore since then requesting help with this, but have received no response and am still locked out.  I also tried calling Julia Hudson at the phone number of 339-368-3773 but it just has a recorded greeting and no one ever picks up, but I tried to leave a message on it anyway.  Still no response.  I did check that number out by trying to do a reverse lookup on the online white pages directory. It did show that number is to a cell phone and it belongs to Accountancy business support ltd. in Arlington, MA.  Well today was the kicker!  I get a call from my bank telling me there is a party in New York who wired the $4820 into my account on February 18 and they are requesting I send them the money back! 

My heart sank and I thought I was in some kind of big trouble!  I told them I no longer had it since it was for an assignment I was told to perform and can't do it.  They said no problem since I am refusing to send it back there is nothing more that they can do and they would tell the party that I refuse to send it back.  I was just scared at first that they would have some other recourse, but fortunately they do not.  There is definitely something going on here since I was obviously dropped so abruptly.  I take any job I've been given seriously and do not appreciate the game they played with me and wasting my time, when my intentions were nothing but honest.  I am just sorry that I only kept the $1500 I was due to be paid out of the $4820 they wired me instead of keeping the whole thing.  It would have served them right that I screwed them to make them realize they can't play with people this way!
