Contact your bank as soon as possible and explain the situation. Make sure they monitor for any unusual activity, and get a new account number. I don't think you should have too much to worry about with the drivers license unless your social security number was on it, in which case you could be at risk for identity theft.

(In general, money mule job scams are more interested in getting you to help with the money laundering, not stealing your identity -- but they're criminals and will do whatever they can to make money. Be careful!)

i am going to close my bank account now, and open up a new one. also, i contacted one of the credit card report bureaus and they have fraud flagged my credit cards. but i am still going to call my credit card companies. i have to go to the dmv too to try and see if they will give me a new Driver license ID number. is there anything else i might want to do? i am thinking about changing all my passwords for my online accounts too. i have paypal, and my bank account is linked to it, also my brothers bank account too, is his account at risk of fraudulent activity too?

It can't hurt to change all your passwords -- it's a good habit to do that regularly anyway, even if you don't have a reason to worry about your online security.

I would worry about this if you ever opened an account on a web site run by this "company", and used the same password on there that you do for other accounts (email, paypal, etc). If all you ever did was send them information in emails, however, your accounts are probably safe -- and therefore so is your brother's bank account information.

Angry Crystal Group of Company

I unfortunately got caught in one of these frauds and it has devastated me and my family. We live paycheck to paycheck and when I found a chance to make a little extra money I checked into it. Long story short...I fell for it and had $3000.00 taken from me. I have 4 children and ALL my bills are due right now and I am quite literally penniless! I was taken to the emergency room for panic attacks and the doctors thought I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. This has be completely devastating to my family. I do thank God my mother-in-law is coming to our rescue to save us. But I have been through a week and a half of pure hell. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THINGS THAT SOUND TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE! My dad told me that my whole life and I didn't listen to my gut this time and I got destroyed.

Lightbulb I received the same type of Letter from Sunny Investments

On May 10, I received a similar letter from Sunny Investments. I checked out the website and it looked legit....however it wasn't until I found this site that it was yet another scam....I guess Monster isn't too particular about who they let view the posted resumes. Oh Well, you live and learn....thanks for the heads up.

they won't...they either send fraudulent checks and have you send them money (a fee) or if you give them your account number, they will steal money from your account. Even if it seems legit at first, you end up screwed in the end.
