In an attempt for my wife to find work to do from the house(as we recently had a child) she looked into online
jobs websites. After entering information about herself, she was contacted by 2 different companies that offered employment after a background check. Said company then sent her a check for $3800.00 with which she was to deposit into our account and after it cleared she was to
wire the money through Western Union to an address provided, after taking out a 10% fee.

She then went to the bank and deposited the first check and the following day it cleared. She then wired the money as they asked and then once more the same occurred with the other company that contacted me. Today she was contacted by my bank to find out that even though they had cleared the check, that they were fraudulent, being
returned and that she was to be held liable for the funds that were thus far being discussed.

This is outrageous, first that the bank did not check or inform me that that large of an amount of a check may be fraudulent and also that the check was allowed to pass and that I was to be made to pay for it.

So the first point of business was to contact my bank and then they informed me that it was now between me and this company and that I would need to handle it. I then was told to contact the F.B.I. and apprise them of the situation. There I was explained that it was not enough money for them to deal with and also that all they dealt with was drug trafficking and money laundering. Well this sounds like money laundering to me. My wife would
certainly not have had anything to do with this if she knew prior to this and any searches about this company yielded any negative results like most scams usually do so she felt as if it was on the up and up and especially considering that it was recommended from a job opportunities website.

Whatever I must do further please don't hesitate to contact me.

An example in stupidity

AUTHOR: Ingrid S - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, March 07, 2011

This user should put their computer back in a box and take it back to where they bought it as they are too stupid to own one.

Globix was a publicly traded company that engaged in 100's of millions of dollars in business for many years.

This moron was duped by a scammer and was unintelligent enough to think that a company would send you a check, let you keep 10% and you Western Union the balance to some unknown party.

Unbelievable.

No, actually, believable.
