Company: Early Warning Services, LLC

Complaint narrative:
Greetings, I was a victim of an online job scam back in XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX is reporting to Early Warning Services consumers reports of this being a forged " Account Check Fraud, '' which I find highly unprofessional on their part when I was a victim of a scam myself. The individual posting as XXXX XXXX was trying to hire me to become a data entry clerk for the company. I was reached out to by a recruiter via XXXX or XXXX  during the same month. After I completed the personal information, I provided them with my ID as well as my SSN, and XXXX and the next day I was told I would be hired. They advised me that they were sending a check in the mail via XXXX  for me to purchase equipment to do the job, but I would need to deposit the check and then go to a website to purchase the required equipment. I deposited the check, and it was cleared the following day. I took the cash out, bought the equipment, and sent the money over to them via XXXX XXXX. I received a call from XXXX advising me that the check was returned and that my account would be in the negatives because the check appeared to be fraudulent. I had no intention of defrauding XXXX. I filed a police report regarding the scammers posing as a legitimate company when they were not and advised XXXX of the same issue. Years later, I am unable to open new bank accounts with any large institution because of the unfair reporting of " Account Fraud '' by XXXX. I tried to dispute the information with Early Warning Services , LLC, on XX/XX/XXXX, but I was advised by them a few weeks later that the bank notified them that the information was accurate. No other options were provided. Every bank is viewing me as some sort of criminal. It is embarrassing and extremely XXXX. I call on the Government to investigate this matter thoroughly, and if there are any wrongdoings by XXXX I deserve compensation for the stress that I've endured, and the loss of income it has cost me. 

Thank you,
