Ben McCoy
Complaint 121934 Details

I answered an email about becoming a secret shopper. Ben McCoy, supposedly representing a company called AAwsm Stuff USA (a legitimate company) contacted me and said I would be getting a check in the mail. I was to cash that check, take out my $400 payment and then wire money using Western Union and Moneygram. He provided names of people to wire the money to. I was told to wire the money and then report back to him with transfer numbers, clerks name, general observations, etc. I did all of that. This morning the bank called me and said the check was fake. They seized my bank account and any incoming deposits until they are paid back. I am literally penniless. I have $40 to my name and many bills, a mortgage, car payment, etc. that aren't going to get paid. Funny things is, Ben McCoy emailed me this morning and said he was sending me another assignment. I have most of his emails and phone number if that will help.
