QUESTION
Will I be able to recover money lost from a fraud/scam?
Asked on Apr 21st, 2014 on Consumer Fraud - Florida
More details to this question:
I signed up for a job posting online. At a point in time I was sent a paycheck of $2900 and told that $500 was my pay and to send the rest through a greendot moneypak card. I had waited for the check to clear and all the funds to be in my bank account. Afterwards, I sent the money through the greendot moneypak card. However, the check bounced and the little money that I had in my bank account is now gone and now owe the bank a little over a thousand dollars. Is there any way this could be resolved?

Not likely. You should always know that money for nothing always has a catch. You can report to Attorney General but dont hold your breath about a refund and you will still likely owe the bank because you DIDN'T wait till check cleared, you waited until you got an account credit.
