Essential Venture Capital

Review: I was in contact with this company about a position of employment. They sent me a check for $2,850 for equipment that I needed. I was to deposit the check, withdraw the payment, and send it via money gram to the shipping provider who would send me the equipment. I deposited the check on April 18, it cleared in my account the following Thursday, so I withdrew the money and sent it via money gram to the required name. Today I find out the check bounced, so the money was taken out of my account. I'm not -$2,850 in my account and it will be sent to collections if I can't bring my account up to even again. As I'm not working, there's no way for me to cover this expense. I have a copy of all the emails from the company, as well as the emails I sent to them, and the receipt of the money gram that was sent. I even have an email from one of the parties stating that it was a legit business. I'm now unable to get ahold of them in regards to the issue of the money.Desired Settlement: I would like the money to be replaced as I have no income so I'm unable to cover this expense. I believed I was doing what was asked of a company that I had spoken to for approximately three weeks about a position of employment. I hope something can be done about this so my account doesn't go to collections, as I've always been in good standing financially.

Review: Received an e-mail from [redacted] (###-###-####) at Essential Venture Capital Corp asking for me to send my resume for a job opportunity. File out an online interview questionnaire regarding employment and signed a contract to work from home. Mr. [redacted] informed me that I would be working as Administrative Assistant-Commercial Business and that the company will be shipping me all office equipment that is required to work from home. My first task was to pick up a laptop and ship it out to the destination according to the email that I had received from [redacted]. I had to pay for the laptop box in the amount of $17.31 which I have not been reimbursed for purchasing the item out of pocket. Two weeks went by and I had not heard anything from [redacted] until he told me that I will be receiving a check in the amount of $2,749.69 that I need to deposit or cash the check at my bank and send the money by Money Gram to a [redacted] in Bowmanville, Ontario. [redacted] was going to be my supervisor and she was getting my office equipment ready to ship. I did what I was instructed and [redacted] told me that I would be receiving an additional check in the amount of $3,850.00 to cover the rest of my office equipment. [redacted] told me to take it to my bank and cash it and send it to [redacted], but to use Western Union. I had received the check and took it to my bank, however my bank confiscated the check and was going to have the fraud department to investigate the check that I have receive. In the meantime, one of my account reps informed me that they have had other customers come into the bank with the same check and to find out that it has been a scam. The account rep also informed me that the first check in the amount of $2,749.69 will be returned for insufficient funds. As of today the check was returned and now I have to come up with that amount. Sorry to say that I am a victim of a scam. After further investigation I have found numerous complaints posted on Scam Busters.Desired Settlement: I want a full refund in the amount of $2,749.69 plus $12.00 for insufficient fund that I was charged by my bank.
