This is a stay at home work scam. They describe the job as a stay at home data entry job. They give you interview questions and make you write two paragraphs. One on cash flow and the other on how to balance cash flow and petty gas. They send you a cashier's check from BB&T bank and tell you to deposite it and send it either money gram and western union to a lady named Crystal Speed in Texas. They describe her as the "vender" and you should send her the money because she will send you the "office equipment" to start your job at home.
These people scammed me online leading me to think that I was finally getting a respond from a employer. Because of this I am still looking for work and now I cannot get a bank account anywhere. I reported it to the FBI and even went to the Criminal District Attorney's office and asked him what to do about this. So far, nobody is able to help me. I don't know what else to do. I went to the police department also and they said to go to the court house and speak to a judge. I did that and they gave me the run around. Is there anyone that can help with these matters?
fraud victim,

You fell for a common scam..

We read about these all the time. I don't think I have ever seen a "work at home" offer that is not a scam. The scammers are taking advantage of the fact that so many Americans these days are desperate for work..hence are vulnerable to do things against better judgment.
You really did all you can by reporting to the FBI. They must get tons of reports like this a week. Unfortunately they can not always help and these scams are conducted from other countries like Nigeria. The Nigerian scammers actually mock the Americans that fall for this..they have no shame, remorse or guilt. They are actually proud to rip you off like this.
As usual, the bank will do nothing. It is not the banks fault granted and the banks are not held responsible, but they are part of the problem, a major link in the chain so to speak.
If these scammers are busted there is a chance you can get your money back..but it is not very likely.
Just continue to spread the word..if anything good can come out of this perhaps it will help educate others and save them from the same fate.
ANYONE who requests you to deposit a check and then wire them money from it is 100% fraud and scam.. every single time, NO exceptions. Personally I feel the banks should warn customers that even though the cashiers check will "clear" in 2 days, that it should be verified before spending against it. That may not cut down on every scam like this, but any bank customers who took the advice would be saved, and the scammers would be screwed. Without the banks participation and ignorance this scam would not be possible.
Nothing can prevent scammers from placing a fake ad..nothing can prevent scammers from sending a fake check..nothing can prevent every desperate or naive victim from falling for a scam, but does anything prevent the bank from giving the customers a simple warning that can absolutely stop the scam in it's tracks? One bank that educated it's tellers saw an 80% reduction in this type of check fraud..I think that is evidence that there are measures that can significantly damper this scam. The question is do they care enough to take measures? Is there a reason so many banks have not?
