Recieved an email saying that I could make money by doing a mystery shopping job. Sent in address and two weeks later recieved a check in the mail telling me to put into a bank account then go evaluate a western union of my choice and send money to someone else but first take 10% as a commision. Then recieved another check and it was larger saying the same thing but had to send two western unions to two different people and both checks bounced and now my account is negative thousands of dollars because of this scam.

V Theres hope for you Still. even with the 10 days that have passed. Depending on your bank. You have a variety of ways to handle this. Checks these days are treated close to credit cards. Even if the bank told you they could not do anything thats just their way of trying to not get involved. If you have not called the 800 number of your bank. or have only gone to the local branch to speak to someone. You can and should Call the bank report your checks have been stolen. The bank will get your funds back from the financial instituion ( the bank where your money to cover the checks went to.
In the event the checks were cashed in person. But its possible a hold was placed on the amount until a several days passed to verify funds are good and the legit. In the event that did not happen. Then you have proof positive of a face to attach to this fraud. banks have cameras and record everyday.
Also the checks that bounced. Keep Them. DOnt let go of them.
! This scammer may continue. If the account is real. Then make copies and go to the District attornys office to file a complaint. ANd from time to time call the bank the checks are issued from. once a banker gets on the phone you say that you need (use the words). Merchant verification of funds on account #0000000".
Also on the checks is there a local branch phone number. Usually the branch where the account was opened, has the local Phone#.
DO NOT GIVE UP. The banks are better then ever at catching fraud. You need to go after your monies and push the bank to go in front of you. Once you have established where the checks were cashed. ANd the banks takes the money back for you. things will start to look up. Even if they hold onto your funds for a month or two. You will get them back. GO as far as telling the bank you dont care if they hold your money to investigate it.
GO and stop stop until you get your money back.
This response is from first hand experience. My money was returned. -
