Details updated on 24 April, 2017

I have a screenshot of it and can send .

she texted me and also send an email which all I have as a proof. She said is coming from UAE and is sending me a cheque to arrange everything and also pay the landlord before their arrival. She send me a cheque through UPS which I received and also deposited to the bank. Immediately she asked me to send Itunes gift cards worth $200 through her email. As I deposited I saw that $200 has been credited into my account so purchased Itunes gift cards worth $200 and had send her. Then she asked me to transfer $1980 to her landlord thru email so that I get the keys and see the apartment.She has send cheque worth $2890 and mentioned whom to pay how much. I told her I cant transfer thru email I need the account number to transfer . After 12am she send me the account details and the landlord who lives at Marion called me and asked me to transfer the money. in the morning I saw that the entire money was showing deposited in my account but at night after 12 when i checked I found that only $200 was there in my account. I got so panicked that where did all the money go.My family asked me to wait till morning and then call US Bank.

Next day when I called US Bank they said the cheque has been returned coz of some authentication issue. Immediately I texted Natasha n informed about it. She texted me and said will let me know what happened and after that I did not receive any message or email from her. I texted her and emailed her so many times to return my $200 which my daughter spend to buy the Itunes gift cards but no response.US Bank also deducted $19 to return the cheque.

I never expected that such fraud cases are there in us.sulekha or else I would have never applied for a job from sulekha site.

I request you to kindly look into this and let me know if you can track this fraud person and get my $220 back. I am very guilty and very upset coz it was my daughters hard earned money. She is a student and works very hard to pay her fees for her studies. Sulekha owes her that money which Ill appreciate if you help her get back. Also if you can catch hold of these scammers and teach them a lesson.

I'm now very scared to find a job through us.sulekha . It was a very bad experience for me.

Looking forward for a favourable response from you.
