Purexian.biz. AKA Xian Energy Sot AKA Financial Consortium International rip-off! I'm Glad this was caught before it was too late! Valley Village California
In May of this year, I received an email introducing me to Purexian.biz. I read the website thoroughly and thought it sounded like a great second income so I could stay home with my children for the summer and still be able to contribute to the household financially.
I faxed them my identification and name of my bank (thank goodness they don't have my account number!) and within a week I received my first check by Federal Express courier.
I attempted to take the check to the bank of origin and they informed me that I had to contact the account holder. I sent Xian an email asking them what I should do next. They gave me some story about the account holders protecting their account information, that the check was good and I should deposit it in my account that day. A couple of days later, I went to my bank and deposited the check where a 5 business day hold was placed on the check.
The following day I received a call from my ex-husband asking me if I had done anything with the check. I told him that I had just deposited it into my account and he told me what he found while researching this company on the internet. I immediately went to my bank and informed them of the situation and they advised me not to touch the funds at all or I would be liable to repay what I spent. Even though there is no love loss between me and my ex-husband, he saved me $8,000 and I will be forever grateful to him for that.
I called Federal Express and informed them of the situation and gave them all of the information off of the label that was on the envelope (thank goodness I didn't throw it away!) and they said they would look into it. The return address on my envelope was in Chicago, Illinois not California.
Remember the old adage: "When something looks too good to be true, it probably is." I will not fall for a scam like this again.
