So I stopped posting my GoFundMe account a couple weeks ago because I thought I got a job.
Everything went horribly wrong from there.
Over the past couple weeks I’ve been corresponding with someone about a potential job, and I was sucked in, hook line and sinker. I’ve been out of a job and desperate for work, so they pretty much said all the things I wanted to hear. They sent me a check to pay for office equipment, and when it cleared I was told to pay a “trusted vendor”, which I did.
You see where this is going. I know I may seem like the least intelligent person in the world at present, but understand I was desperate. I also had people check for scams with the company name when I was first contacted. Two weeks ago? Nothing. Today?
Everything: http://jobsearch.about.com/u/sty/jobsearchscams/post-a-job-scam/QLM-Scam.htm
https://www.odesk.com/community/node/31405So I am suddenly almost $2000 in the negative and will be held liable for these expenses. I’ve filed fraud with the Federal Trade Commission, with Western Union, and will be contacting the police tomorrow.
In the meantime, I have a credit card payment I still have to make, a phone to keep working and jobs to continue looking for. Any money I make at my (less than 10 hour a week) current part time job will be direct deposited into my account and eat away at the negative balance and therefore can’t be used. I need help, and I need it fast.
Please help and PLEASE spread the word about these people.
Guys I hate asking for this. I hate it. Absolutely hate it. But at this point, I’m desperate. Please donate, and please signal boost and share so that these people don’t hurt someone you know or may be following you.
So uh. This is where I’ve been. I wouldn’t normally do this, but if you guys could signal boost this, I would be deeply grateful.
