What can we do? Is there anyway we can get our money back?
My husband had his resume posted on Careerbuilders and was emailed this job prospect from Global Group Healthcare. He thought it sounded good: guarranteed income, no risks, a nice little side-job to help support our 4 kids. He was suspicious, but decided to give it a try. The company sends a check, which you are supposed to cash and wire 90% to the company, and keep 10% for yourself, plus a monthly salary of $900. He signed the contract, got his first check to cash. Took it to the bank and had them check it out. They thought it looked good and cashed it so he wired the money to the UK. Afew days later the check bounced and now we owe the bank, we have a huge overdraft and will have to get a loan to satisfy the bank. I hope there is something we can do!

You have been scammed. There are thousands of these scams operating overseas and targeting gullible Americans.
Nothing you can do about it either.

This is a scam and it will take a miracle to get your money back. There has been plenty of blogs, posts and information out there that is letting people know that dealing with anyone in another country is a scam. Dateline just did a special on internet identity theft and it’s coming from all over the world. You need to talk to your bank and let them know the situation to somehow track it. As far as I know you are now out of luck. Sorry……
