A FRIEND FROM U K --WORKING THERE-GOT A HOLD OF A GUY FOR A LOAN (FROM INTERNET) SINCE HE DIDNT HAVE ACCESS TO HIS ACCT IN TX (HE WAS WORKIN IN UK) NEEDED MONEY TO SEND TO EX WIFE WHO HAD HIS KID IN AFRICA WITH HER AND STEP FATHER. WAS FLYIN DAUGHTER BACK TO ENGLAND TO GO BACK TO USA WITH HIM. MONEY WAS WIRED TO MY ACCT. IT WAS FUNDS FROM A WELLS FARGO BANK TO MY WELLS FARGO BANK ACCT. I TOOK 800 OF THE FUNDS AND SENT TO EXWIFE IN AFRICA.THREE DAYS LATER THE FUNDS WERE RECALLED FROM TX PERSON AND CHRGED BACK TO MY ACCT!!! I MADE EVER EFFORT TO MAKE SURE THIS WOULDNT HAPPEN BEFORE TAKIN THE MONEY OUT AND SENDING TO EXWIFE. NOW MY BANK SAYS I HAVE TO SIGNED A FRAUD FORM AND THEY WILL GO AFTER MY FRIEND WHO IS NOT EVEN FROM HERE. I MUST ADMIT I HAVE NEVER MET THIS GUY WHO GOT ME TO SEND FUNDS TO EXWIFE. SO I DIDNT SIGN PAPERS AGAINST THE FRAUD LOAN SHARK (I CALL HIM) SO MY FRIEND WOULDNT GET HURT.
NOW WE FIND HIS DAUGHTER AND MOTHER (EXWIFE) HAVE BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON WAY TO AIRPORT--AND A COUPLE PEOPLE IN CAR KILLED--NOT EXWIFE AND KID.SO NOW THEY WANT 1500 FOR MEDICAL CARE. HE DIDNT HAVE (NIETHER DO I) AND HE GOES ON LINE AND GETS THESE RUSSIAN INVESTORS TO SAY THEY WILL INVEST IN HIS COMPANY HE IS FORMING WHEN HE RETURNS TO TX--AND SUPPOSEDLY THEY ARE GONNA WIRE TO MY ACCT AGAIN 7,000USD. OMG
IM AFRAID OF THAT
IT SEEMS IT WOULD BE FINE --IF THE ISSUING BANK CANT COME BACK AND RECALL THE FUNDS AFTER I HAVE TAKEN THEM OUT AND SENT THEM TO FRIEND--ALL BUT FUNDS HE OWED ME FROM LAST MESS. ANY THOUGHTS? DONT REALLY WANT TO LET THEM WIRE MONEY--THEN DONT WANT TO WITHDRAW IF IT DOES COME. AFRAID THEY WILL COME BACK AND RECALL IT AND CHRG MY ACCT AGAIN. AND BE OUT EVEN MORE--PLS HELP
