I think I am flagged as a fraudster
Hello,
I just recently moved to the uk about a month ago and had a bank account opened up in Lloyds TSB. Now as being a new entrant I started to look for jobs and an offer came up which said was for a 'Customer Services Handler'. Now a copy of the duties and responsibilities was sent to me which said that I would have to maintain documents, type, and other official duties, etc. Now it also said that I would have to do some training courses for 10 days paying me a daily wage and that the training manual was also sent to me. This training course consisted of different steps of which the first included about account payments and immediate transfers, and the others consisted of foreign exchange, company software, Financial engineering, etc. I was called up the first day of the training and was sent the amount and was asked to send it to another person whom they identified to me as my colleague. Now I did what I was asked and later that day as I went home and checked my internet banking, it was suspended. Now I immediately called up the bank asked what was going on, the staff said that it was nothing and that they would take care of it for me.
So I didn't do anything and stayed put for my next training call which was supposed to be about 'determinants of foreign exchange' but now I haven't received any calls from the so called company which called itself 'Hosford Asset Finance' and I have also found out that my account has been closed and I cannot open a bank account with the bank.
I felt shocked as I was behaved very coldly by the staff, as I asked about the reasons she said that I was sent a letter and that I would be receiving it soon, so I checked the internet on whether the bank could close my account without informing me, in my search I came across people suspecting it because of money laundering . Now I was more shocked and as I looked into it more and the more it resembled to the company's action.
Now I think that I may have been flagged as a fraudster, but before this research that I did, I didn't even know of money mules or laundering. I had no idea.
I still have the documents sent to me by the so called company and the number that was used to call me but as I call the number it simply says that it cannot be reached after a ring and I also have the receipts for the money sent overseas, because the lady told me to keep it with me for it would help my training results.
Now I recently have got an opportunity for a job and without a bank account I may not be able to get the job.
What can I do??
