Complaint Review: Future Trading US LLC

Future Trading US, LLC contacted me to work for them as a "Purchasing Manager" in their "Import/Export Business" based in Europe, with offices in New York to expand in USA.

Somehow they knew a lot about me, including banking info, such as where I banked, what credit cards I had and what balances I owed, and my background.

Claimed they would pay off my credit card balances so I could make certain purchases of goods they would list to be shipped to them in New York for export.

They supplied me with their banking info with Wells Fargo Bank to pay off my credit card balances with each group purchase, up to the max on the cards.

When I did this, they somhow had a way to delay payment from Wells Fargo to my banks, and in so doing trick my bank into thinking that the payment was made and then posted the payment to my account so as to clear whatever balance was due; then they woudl supply another list of goods for me to purchase with those credit cards and ship the goods to them, again "for export".

When my banks finally figured out what was happening, they contacted me for an explanation; then when I tried to contact these criminals, they disappeared without a trace.

Now I'm stuck with huge credit card balances I will never be able to pay off and has completely ruined my credit.

When reporting all of this to the Police Department they said that is is the first time they encountered such a sophisticated scam but probably won't be the last; even assigned a detective to further investigate; I have since been working with the detective, who further indicated to me that so far, it looks like this scam can be traced back to Russia.
