After a week, I tried to login on my Online banking account and I saw a message that someone tried to login many times to my account and they gave a number to call. 
When I called the number, the bank said that I had bad activities on my account. 
I contacted back a " trainer '', I asked him for a letter/note from the company so I can show the bank and they will know that I work for the company. 
After 2 days of asking, the guy blocked me. That when I knew that I was scammed. I contacted XXXX, my local Police and my bank about it. 
The bank told me that the account is closed, so I call my first job to let them know to not do direct deposit but they said money has been transfer already and if the account is closed, money is going to come back. 
My first job contacted me and said that money went through. I called the bank and they said that the account is not closed but restricted. 
I told them that they told me before that my account was closed and they changed again. 
I have bills to pay, and I have to send money to my wife and son but I cant because they hold my account. 
And I have to say that I was getting 8 % and 10 % on transfers. 
Please, I really need help about this. 

My bank : Capital one The company : XXXX XXXX
