Description

I answered a Facebook post on 12/01/2023 from someone from my town (per profile information), she posted work-from-home data entry wanted from her employer and she got me in contact with someone named Justin Boggs from Cience Technologies for an interview and I was hired, all communication done on the TEAMS app. He had me fill out the W2, Direct Deposit information and told me to do my background check at the Dept of Colorado Unemployment (I kept questioning that but he said they have a contract with them to run the background check). He asked me for my bank information to set up an ACH for funds to purchase software products that I need for the job. $4950 was deposited on 12/07/2023 and then another $2950 on 12/12/2023 into my bank account. On 12/13/2023 $4800 was withdrawn from my bank account and I went to the bank to dispute this because I did not authorize this withdrawal. The bank said that they couldn't stop the withdrawal and in the meantime, the institute that issued the $4950 and $2950 took back the funds stating that they did not authorize the transaction. Now the bank is after me to pay them the missing $4800 from my account. I put a freeze on all 3 credit bureaus and have a LifeLock alert on my driver's license, put a complaint with the Massachusetts Attorney General and local police Dept complaint issued.
