How could i avoid arrest if i was victim to an internet job scam? I?
I'm a stay at home mom looking for extra money. But I did not give my real name for the fear of being scammed. So it was an observation. The job ofcourse seemed very well and i was also thinking that i needed the money. Someone wanted me to to accept funds to my bank account and i would get a percentage from it. I gave bank account information and my address. They also had me register in the company website. For a a couple weeks i didnt receive a response but i got an email saying to check my account and they sent the sum of $4900. They wanted me to check if its there and once i confirm, they would give me instructions. When i went to check for the funds i couldnt get access to the funds> the accnt was in my husbands name so i couldn't do much. I emailed them and told them that the bank is holding on to the funds. immediately, they wanted me to tll the bank to get it back. Told them i coudltn do anything. two days later they said the funds were sent bank. The bank told my husband that there is an incoming transfer but he had other issues with the acct hence why the blocked any activity. I immediately went on the website and i couldnt log back in and neither did i receive any more emails from "Ann Smith". i went over all the emails and told my husband that they wanted me to be a money mule and wasnt going to pay me my salalry so i printed out all the emails given and my responses and made a report. When they called to find out what happened, they were calling from California and sounded foreign. Now the bank was about to release the funds when a compnay in virginia callled saying they were scammed many times. So the bank is about to end back the money.The woman on the other end was telling my husband what could possibly happen. What do i do now? im scared and i need advice.
