I was sent an email to be a processor for HIV/AIDS organization authorized through the security of the FBI & IRS. They would send me a donation chekc and I was to cash and in 24 hours when funds credited to my account they needed 2 seperate payments sent to 2 different individuals at same address. I was told I would be paid 525.00 a month as a processor plus 10% comission on the amount of the check. I received a check but it came from Nancy Wai in Plainfield Il.
The check didnt look correct. It was drawn from Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston on Wachovia Bank of South Carolina. I called information and they had no Wachovia bank in Charleston SC or surrounding areas. I then called the University and gave the PO Box that the check was written off of and they referred me to their accounts payable. I then called they office and left a message. The check was made out to me personally & was suppose to be a donation by a patricia Buckley. They had no one by that name. I called Wachovia but they wouldnt verify funds unless I had account with them. I didn't so I couldnt verify it.
I, against my better judgemnet cashed the check and then kept getting emails about their portions. I advised would not send till I knew for sure check cleared. Low and Behold the Check bounced. I called to this Ms. Wai and it was an oriental home but they said no one their by that name. I checked with Fed Ex and tracked it and that is where it came from and was signed by this person.
This is extremeley disturbing due to the fact it was suppose to be for Aid/Hiv program in Nigeria.
I have all documents and phone numbers of people called along with the bank and the University of South Carolina. Which I can not believe their accounting person didn't return the call.
