[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About a month ago i was looking for a nanny position and i made profile at www.gonannies.com. I was contacted by a person called "Jamie Lorenzo" (jamielorz@gmail.com), trough a sms saying that they got my info on gonannies and they have a job to offer me. I started to exchange emails and sms with this person. He said that he and his family were moving to where i live from Canada and they had people helping them with their moving arrangements. I believed them and accepted the job offer. He said that his assistant or something would send me a check, with the amout of my payment of my first week to secure that i was going to work for them and more moneyfor me to transfer to his "assistant" to take care of their grocery shopping. They sent me the checked and i deposited into my account. Next day he contacted me and said that i was supposed to transfer the remaining amount ( minus my first week of work) trough walmart money transfer. The money was in my account and i cashed out and went to walmart. When i got there an employee from walmart asked me if i knew the person that i was sending money and i said no. This walmart employee warned me that this was fraud and they woukd not make the money transfer. I contacted "Jamie" telling him that and he started to convince me that he was an honest person, he sent me a picture of him and his "family" and i should try to tranfer this money trough money pak. Since i had the money in my hands i was afraid of not doing what he wanted because that was not my money ( i thought) and he had my address and i bought moneypak cards and send him pictures to him get this money. I know that i am an idiot believing this person, but i would never transfer this money if in the first place the money was not in my account. I would never imagine that the bank would make the money of a fraudulent check available to me and let me cashed out. I just don't know what to do, but at this moment i feel so violated by the website gonannies.com to expose my info to a person like that and by my bank that made money of a fraudulent check available in my account. I have all emails, sms and moneypak cards that i exchanged with this horrible person. I also have the envelope that they sent me the check. It is hard to believe that a website like gonannies.com expose good people to this kind of crimes. They are not reliable and they need to do something about this matter. They can NOT pass honest people's info to scammers.[/quote]
