ING France scam

Thought I had a job- turned out to be a scam. Reported to FBI and notified the bank to place account on hold. Can more money than was ever in the account be illegally withdrawn. My account states negative -$880,440.21

Re: ING France scam

It depends on the banks policies and the circumstances by which the account became overdrawn.

If the bank provided a float for use by the account and the deposit items were returned as NSF, Acct Closed, or any issue that would not allow the transaction to complete, the account owner is responsible for the overdrawn amounts.

In your case, you would be wise to retain representation to deal with the bank, the Feds and the civil and criminal issues that may present themselves in short order. The bank is likely to make attempts to collect relatively quickly.

If I can be of service please let me know.

Good Luck.
