Complaint 127966 Details

I was sent a Cashier's check in the amount of $2,800 (twice), with instructions to "Mystery Shop" at Sears & Western Union. I was to keep $200 from each check ($100 for each mystery shop) & send the remaining amount to an address in the Phillipines. I researched the company, the bank the check was drawn on, etc. to verify that this was a ligitimate company. Everything checked out fine. I spoke to the same person on 6 different occasions to report my findings & tell him the verification number on the money sent. The 1st check I received was on 5/23/12, the 2nd check was on 5/29/12. I cashed each check at my bank & did the duties I was supposed to complete. Then on 5/31/12, I called the automated number for my bank to see what my balance was, only to find out that it was negative $5,200. I went to my bank the next day to speak to someone, only to be told they wouldn't talk to me, they had closed my account & seized my only source of income, my Social Security Disability check. I wasn't able to pay any of my bills, including my mortgage, insurance, etc. To add insult to injury, the same person that sent me the fraudulent checks has sent me numerous other e-mails trying to get me to do the same "Mystery Shopping". I have sent back replies to the effect that he & his so called company are the scum of the earth, but he continues to keep contacting me. I just received another e-mail yesterday, 6/29/12.
