I hope you can help me and other retired individuals get to the bottom of this. I applied for a part time job as a mystery shopper as I have just gotten social security and it is n't enough to cover my bills. I received an over night package XX/XX/XXXX while I was out of town visiting my son who had just found out that he had a XXXX. My neighbor opened the package for me and saw it was a check for {$2900.00} and it was my first assignment as a mystery shopper. I was to go to the bank and cash the check or deposit the check and take {$400.00} for myself and go into a XXXX and wire money to another mystery shopper to determine their level of service. When I got back in town on XXXX XXXX, I did as the letter and went to my local Wells Fargo and asked the teller, XXXX XXXX, a personal banker if the check was good and he said not today but I can deposit it for you and it could be in the next few days. So I told him that I agreed with that, not knowing what else to do. Then the next day I look at my deposits which consisted of XXXX checks and {$600.00} in cash and none of it was in my bank. I went down to see XXXX to ask what happened and after much computer and phone investigation he found out that all my accounts were locked and were being closed. When I asked why, he said that the check that I deposited was a counterfeit check. I asked what that was and he explained that the account that the check was written from did n't exist. I said I had never heard of such a thing, either a check is good or bad. He was the one who told me to deposit the check and now all my money is frozen and my social security check gets deposited into those accounts and it is only {$1100.00} per money but it is all I have coming in. They are in the process of closing my accounts and will mail me a check they say in the next two weeks for with the money in my accounts but I have nothing to live on and I will not be able to get social security check next week. I think it is terrible that Wells Fargo is blaming me, the XXXX who got duped even though I brought them all the proof of this scam and XXXX is even backing up my details of the incident but Wells Fargo 's fraud department does n't care. 




Can you please help?
