They offered me a position as a Financial Services Officer, the web site looked very professional, they appeared to be legit. I gave them information relative to my bank account. They said they wired funds into my account and for me to make the payments they indicated. I sent out the payments, and they withdrew the electronic funds deposit two days later. Is there anything I can do?????

Hello, you are not alone. See my complaint entered today. I was also hired as a FSO for Merdox and I purposely changed the account number so that they would have to contact me personally to tranfer any money. The amount that that you complain about sounds very familiar on 8/17/2012. I am sorry for your lost, but I fear they packed shop to pull this scam from another virtual office. Good luck, If I can assist you in any way please contact me. See complaint 149544 created 8/22/2012 around noon.
probably need to report them to the NY Attorney General, FTC, Better Business Bureau etc. -

- I have the money they put in my account, but I did not do a transaction yet because they did not give me any information for international transactions. I would love to send the money back to them. It hasn't been touched or anything. What do I do?

- URGENT RESPONSE!! The first thing I would do is take away any access to your account from Merdox. Change your usercodes/password for your bank account. I would also notify your local police etc to investigate. Finally, I would not send this evidence back to them unless your local police authorities tell you to do so. These folks are crooks and will probably try to drain your bank account. You will not get paid or worst they will deplete the funds that you do have.

- Darius: Don't touch that money. Check your account in two days and it will be gone. Don't do anything. I hope you didn't use your personal account. If so, close it immediately and open a new one with new passwords, etc. DO NOT SEND THAT MONEY ANYWHERE. The check will bounce. They'll probably tell you to send it somewhere tomorrow. If it's still there at the end of the week, close the account and leave the money sit. I don't know what else to say. I contacted my local police department, the FTC and the Attorneys General office. I got lucky, the bank didn't come after me, yet. They stopped the reversal of funds, but if you send that money out, you can never get it back. Don't get stuck like I did. I'm still waiting for the outcome. Just be smart. Wait at least 3 days before you send it anywhere. If it clears, then you can do what they want, until then, don't do it. But, Douglas indicates they got him too. There's another complaint about them as well. BE SMART..... Best of luck ME.

As has been mentioned, send anything you have received from them to the NY Attorney General. http://www.ag.ny.gov/complaint-forms The phone number they use is an upstate New York number. Although the people who own the domains and run the scam live in Matua, Tauranga NZ, perhaps the Attorney General can at least shut their phone number down.
If you have already lost money or transacted money with them, please contact your local Secret Service office: http://www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml They are responsible for the scams and fraud involving international currency exchange. -

- Darius - smart man, you made out. If they don't contact you again, your $$$$ to the good. If they do contact you, then you'll have to send it back. I don't really know what you should do with it. I would contact the police, print out whatever information you have from them, your task file, or whatever info you can still get and report it. You can call the AG's office, you can contact the Secret Service like Japheth said (see above), or whatever. But, I would definitely close that account, especially if it was your personal account (or wait and see if they try to reverse the deposit like they did to me) and then contact the bank and tell them you have the cash to replace what they're trying to take back. It's a tricky spot to be in. Don't spend it. Basically, I got screwed because I took the $$$ the day they deposited it, and did what they told me to with it, since you haven't gotten any instructions on where to send it, I'd wait and see what the bank tells you, CHECK THE ACCOUNT DAILY, and be sure of what is going on. Because if this is your personal account, they could reverse the transaction and then you're out of luck and incurring overdraft charges, etc. If they don't reverse the transaction, maybe they've bugged out. I don't know. Keep me posted. thanks.
