What is the name of your state? California
While working doing deliveries I was contacted by phone by someone fraudulently representing themselves as a worker for the company I do deliveries for. They told me I needed to verify that I was the registered driver of my vehicle and proceeded to walk me through the process of “verification” which included sharing my email, username and password. Once they had that information without my knowing they went straight into my account with the company, registered a new direct deposit account for themselves and took all of my earnings for the week out of my account.
I contacted the company about what happened and after an “investigation” this is why they told me:
“I've reviewed your account, and these deposits instantly cleared to the card on file at the time of the transaction, and we do not have a way to reverse the deposits. Regretfully, we will be unable to reimburse these funds. I'm very sorry.”
So my questions are: is this it? Do I have any recourse or do I just have to accept my earnings are gone? How is this different from my paycheck getting stolen? Does it make sense to file a police report?
Thanks
