Description

I was contacted on my cell via text regarding a job opportunity for a content writer at RJ Publishing Co from Toronto, Canada. A check from ALC Lending via TD Bank was sent for $2400 and then another one for $2240 for equipment purchases. The bottom on one of the check numbers was 000000607 067014822 4340161019. No address is on the check. The top right under the check number states 63-1482/670 with 4798 under that. It is noted under the area for: U/wfree.5252NW. I have many support documents from text conversations. Bottom line is they got money from my checking account with Bank of America. The fraud department has frozen it and a new account was opened today. It is a scam pretending to be a legit company which it is not and sent checks to deposit for computer equipment purchasing which ultimately was a scam for laundering money and extorting money from perspective employees.
