Hello everyone,

It's me 73kimmie - Here's more information of Jerry Foster: The company is Jerry's World Travel and Tours LLC and the address where all payments are sent is : 18 Hayes Close off Parsonage Rd, Gray, Essex RM204AX United Kingdom. The payments were sent to: Kevin Doyle, Solar Roalane and Thabo Roalane. His emails have been : Jerry_vacancy02@hotmail.com and Jerry_vacancy1985@live.com. These are the only two emails that I know of. His two payment officers that send payments directly to you are Marcie Storey of Newport News, VA and Nia Shanks of Louisville, Ky. Since Jerry's company is fake I would not be surprised if these two people are using fake names also. Now, I will continue with the second part of my story.
After realizing that this company is a scam they continued to send me payments by UPS Next Day Air AM. After receiving notification that some of the checks were rejected from my bank. I immediately contacted Jerry and he told me he would send me Cashier checks for the amount of the checks that bounced and would contact the client for writing fraudulent checks. DO NOT BELIEVE HIM!!! After the fourth check bounced I contacted my bank immediately to let them know that I was scammed and was cashing checks that were bad and had proof that I was a victim of a scam and not a participant since I kept everything since the beginning from emails to bank receipts.
You would think a bank would be willing to help you if you have proof that you were a victim. THINK AGAIN. My bank claimed that even though I had proof to show that I was a victim since I signed and cashed the checks they were all my responsibility to ensure funds were available. My bank cashed all the checks without holding them and then it took up to 7 days for them to verify that the checks were bad. After they could not get payment from the checks they immediately withdrew the amount from my checking account without notifying me and left me with nothing. My account was overdrawn and I needed to pay them immediately for the funds that were rejected.
I felt that my bank (BOFA) did not care about me or the problem, they only cared about their money. After researching this situation online I found that many people have been victimized in a similar matter and some of their banks offer to pay them back if they can prove they were a victim. My bank did not care about me or if I had proof. They only wanted their money.
As of right now, I have reported this scam to the U.S. Secret Service and was told that there is not really anything they can do since the company is located out of the United States. They went ahead and created a file with my case and sent me a letter showing that a inquiry was started against Jerry Foster. Another issue I have is the city that I live in does not have a financial crime unit and the next major city next to me could not take my report since I am not a resident of their city. It is really unbelievable that in so many years banks have no way to detect if checks are good or not and why do they automatically cash the checks without checking or holding the check to verify funds. You would figure after so many years they would have found a way to halt these crimes before people become victims and lose so much money. I know I am partly responsible but I am paying the bank to protect my money and me. If they know these type of scams are out there and other people have been victimized why haven't they found a solution to ensure a client's safety. After this experience I do not trust anything online and I am very careful of what websites I enter and what I sign up for. If you should need further information please post your reply and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I hope this information helps anyone that is looking for these online jobs. I have learned if it is too good to be true it is probably a SCAM.
