Complaint Review: Zentrada.pl

I am a medicolegal editor by training. I answered an ad to edit electronic documents, and did so for approximately three weeks, always with the understanding that payment would be provided via PayPal at the end of the first month of work. My thought was the work was not significant enough to warrant worry should payment not be forthcoming, but if it worked out it would be nice. 

The content of the documents edited pertained to sales representatives' activities, current and new, their payments, shipments to clients, their payments, etc. So, by the end of the three week period when I was asked if I would be interested in moving into a sales rep position, I understood the nature of the position of which they were speaking and was indeed interested. 

I did not, however, understand until the first payment came in that I should transfer money to my bank account from the PayPal account and ship cash via UPS to them. I am a nurse and have also run a small medical editing business for 25 years, and utilize subcontractors overseas to whom I send wire transfers for payment in order to maintain clear and concise records of payment for the IRS. This method of transferring money bothered me alot. 

I expressed my concern regarding the IRS, not to mention cash moving around the country. I did this once more and expressed that I would not participate in this again. 

The next thing I know, my PayPal account has a $5790 deficit. The exact amount of the two payments from the same man who supposedly made the purchases online from this company. He has now filed a dispute stating these were unauthorized charges. Now, his credit card company is responsible for paying him back and I am out the $5790 because I have transferred everything except the $160 for my editing services and the 5% for each of the transfers (my payment, of course - ha!). 

I am beyond mortified that I participated in such a thing, and have of course reported this to the FBI here in the States with all of the emails, which I saved. I shipped the money to Toriana Wellington at 15 Charles pl, Mount Vernon NY 10550 with signature required upon delivery via UPS (two payments). The person contacting me was named "Frank." 

I have two telephone numbers for him: 360-637-1028, 385-265-7140

I hope this helps.
