Beware of scams

Two weeks ago I answered an advert to an email that I got saying Payment Processors needed, I got an answer back saying will I fill in the online application form and to read the company rules as I will be employed by ITand Finance Inc from Cardiff UK and they also wanted my bank sort number and account number.My wage was going to be £1500 plus bonus each month for the first month as I was on a months trial after that If I was kept on it would go up to £1800 plus bonus. I sent everything of to them they then sent back the monthly wage is £1500 and £50 bonus if I got a task come in after my working hours that was from 0900 to 1100 Monday to Friday and I had to complete each task in 2 hours. What I had to do was log into their server every day 0900 to 1100 and wait to see if a task came in ( the task was that one of their overseas clients would deposit an amount of money into my account from £500 to £1500.) once I found that money had been deposited into my account by me contacting the bank I would then send them an email to say the money was in my account. They would then send me an email telling me what I had to do. A few days after accepting me they emailed me to tell me that £779 had been deposited into my account, so I phoned the bank to see if the money was in my account and was told yes it was. I emailed them and told them it was in my account they then sent me details of what to do, I had to withdraw £735 out the rest was left in as commission for me. I drew it out then sent it to the address that was on the email by Western Union and had to check the 3 minuet delivery box, the Money was going to the Ukraine. I went back home logged into ITand Finance INC and filled out a form giving details of Western Unions tag number that told them the money had gone, I also told them I had done the task in 2 hours, so they sent back that I had been given a £50 bonus and to wait for the next task. Several days later I had a phone call from my bank asking me what happened to the £779 that was put into my bank so I told them this story that I am telling you. They informed me the money was from HSBC and was fraudulent and could I prove any of what I told them, I told them yes I have got all details they asked me to bring them to the bank as I am under investigation for fraud. I tried to get hold of ITand Finance INC to ask them for help and yes all communications had been closed I can no longer log in or can I email them. I was lucky as I saved every email from them and every sent email to them I printed them all off and yesterday took them to the bank. The moral of this story is if it look to good to be true then it is. Take care every one do not be caught out like I was. John Le Bretton
