MoneyGram Money transfers department,
International money transfer Fraud or scam Wisconsin
I received an unsolicited call from an - sounding man stating that my internet security company is now out of business and wants to refund the amount I paid. After much information was exchanged he requested that I allow him access to my computer to see what banking deposit info was needed to refund my money. After that he told me that he had input the wrong amount and he would lose his job if I did n't refund him back the extra amount he had deposited in my account. I went to the bank and had the deposit confirmed and withdrew the extra amount and sent it to him via MoneyGram which he gave me info for. He said send to country of - to person named - -. After some second thoughts and checking with my bank I found that he had transferred money from - of my other accounts into the one he said he was depositing my refund to. I also then checked and found my supporting internet company was not out of business and stated I was definitely scammed. Now I am searching for a way to reclaim my money and prosecute the perpetrator, and am working with local police, MoneyGram my bank and credit card companies of which he has also fraudulently obtained money. You can request any more information you may need by e-mailing me at : -- or calling my phone and/or leave message at - Thank You
