I fell for an exact scam as other but different company name and dollar amounts using Western Union. I never questioned it or researched it until I checked my account balance and found myself $3490.00 in the negative.


I received a legitimate looking letter head with a job offer to become a Customer Service Evaluator. I had been looking into a lot of different Internet companies to make extra money in these hard times and they referenced a recent job search I had made so I thought it was a great opportunity.


Well I deposited their real looking check into my account, waited two days, saw the funds thinking the check cleared then made the required withdraws that were outlined in the instructions of their letter. I kept my $400 training pay and paid my credit card bills with it. I took $2845 to Western Union and sent it to Cindy Sweeten in London England as instructed and evaluated the customer service I received. Then filled out the Market Response form and faxed it to my Research Agent Rick Zugala. I then proceeded to the second assignment. Went to Wal-Mart and spent $100 on what ever I wanted then filled out another Market Response form and faxed it in just as the first on. I was told that I would be called the next day to receive my next assignment details. Never hear from anyone.


How can myself and everyone who has fallen victim to these scams get our earned revenge? Lawsuit?

"How can myself and everyone who has fallen victim to these scams get our earned revenge? Lawsuit? "

   Who are you going to sue?   By now you should have realized that you have not been dealing with a real company, but a team of scammers.   There was a reason they had you send funds through Western Union.  Those transfers are not traceable, so you really have no idea who picked up your money at the other end.   There was also a reason they had you send the money out of the country.  That makes it impossible for any U.S. law enforcement agency to have jurisdiction in this matter.

   About all you can do is to be more skeptical in the future.   For example, in this case, a company sent you a check for nearly $3500 out of the blue.  They did not know you, other than someone who had posted on a job search site.   Would a real company send a valid check for that kind of money to some anonymous person on the Internet?   Of course they wouldn't.   The only logical conclusion you could draw would be that the check was bogus.
