I signed into a contract with one of the HR Representatives named Alicia Gordon in which I would process payments as instructed to do business as a “payment processing agent” for Inverness Medical Innovations PLC out of the UK. I was asked to process payments for your Medical Supply Company for clients and then send the money to two other associates. I requested information of the company and I was given the following:

Inverness Medical Innovations PLC
Dover Street
Mayfair, W1S
United Kingdom
FAX 011-44-044-844-8484

I was sent two checks for my first stage of processing the payments one in the amount of $1850.00 and another in the amount of $1970.00 both from Deborah Lafata in IN. I deposited the checks as instructed and then sent the payments less my 10% commission, bonus and western union fees) to two associates named Calvin Cunnick and Harper Hayes in the UK. The day after my Western Union transfers were deducted from my checking account, the bank notified me that the deposit checks were returned as NSF from Deborah Lafata's account in IN. After speaking with the bank, I am told that the amounts of the deposit plua all associated fees are my responsibility and that the Inverness Medical Innovations PLC would be responsibile for refunding these amounts to me.

I am now sending letters to the company here in the US that has recently aquired the overseas company in the UK requesting the amount of the checks and all of the associated fees charged by my bank for the transactions.

  • I am Deborah Lafata and I just found my name associated with a scam and yet I had nothing to do with this scam. My checking account information was stolen. Somebody or somebodies created checks using my information. Six checks written out to 3 different individuals for the exact same amounts. I started receiving insufficient funds notice on my account when I checked my accounts online. My bank did not catch until my call that they did not have a branch in Rushville, IN and that the signature was not even close. My bank had to close my account, reimbuse me of all my NSF charges and I filed a police report.

    I want my name cleared as I too am a victim in this type of fraud and not the perputrator!!!
