Total money lost $2,460

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

This African American male asked if I wanted had a job and if I needed one. I said yes he said that I could make 850 if I deposited a check in my account. I asked him how and he said he worked for a company that makes money by giving money to people and then keeping the recipiets for a tax right off. I’m only 19 and I thought that this was a great opportunity to get money for books that I needed. The check was $2,460 so I asked him was this legal and what was the catch. He said there was no catch and that I could get the money instantly. I believe he gave me a fake check but it looked like a company check and he said it was a company check. Deposited the check and $400 became available instantly. At that point I though everything was legit but he told me to take out the $400 and give it to him. I did it because I believed I would get my money the next day instead I’m stuck paying back money I never even touched and there must be a way for someone to help me out there.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

I was contacted by "PSS" regarding a debt that was owed by my mother. They left me a message stating that they needed to contact her or they were going to proceed with filing a judgement in court. When I called back, they specified that they couldn’t discuss it with me because it was a debt for my mother. I told them that if it was an actual debt, that I would set up a payment arrangement today to take care of it. They said that the debt originated from an allied cash advance in the amount of $435.00. They had my phone number as a primary and an old address for me however no address for my mother. I proceeded to attempt to contact allied cash advance however there is no location within 200 miles of where I reside. PSS was unable to give me specifics regarding the debt, an address where it originated, and refused to give me their.address. I spoke with someone at the ScamPulse.com who gave me a phone number to contact the department of finance to verify licensing. I contacted the department of finance who said that PSS was not licensed and not to give them any sort of payment. I spoke with a supervisor at PSS named "Thea Jones" and I also spoke with Brianna/Anna (changed each time i called) (855) 770-5159 EXT 410 for Brianna.
