Hinkins_Group International
Complaint 66197 Details

I received an email for a part-time clerical job. When I applied I was told that after a 2-week probationary period I would earn $700.00 per week for 20 hours of work, and would earn 5% during the probationary period on each transaction.

The transactions were to receive direct deposits from the company's clients and then to wire the funds to them via Western Union or Money Gram, net of whatever wire transfer fees. The recipient was supposed to live in Moscow who did not have a bank account. I did receive a first direct deposit on 11JAN2012.

When both wire transfer agents in my city of residence refused to do so because of prior fraudulent activities in this area, I went to my bank which likewise refused to transfer the funds without a recipient bank account information. Moreover, the bank notified their fraud department. I spoke with someone from that department the following week. They sent the funds back to its source and advised me to close the account that I told Hinkins about, which I did.

Opening the new account has cost me $6.00 for half a dozen counter checks, plus charges not yet assessed, for check printing.
