Help Unwillingly Involved in Fraud

GillsAndy

Hi,sorry if this is in the wrong place however I’m now really worried about my future after stupidly being involved (not knowingly) in fraudulent behaviour with one of my bank accounts.
I genuinely thought I was doing some honest work but after the first month I received a letter from my bank to say they would be closing my account and couldn’t give me anymore details. Since then I’ve recieved a letter from my Burton card provider to say they would also be closing my account. I’m now worried that all my accounts and that my credit rating will be affected by this I don’t know how I can resolve any of this and I’m very petrified of what could happen from an honest mistake.

Not much to go on.....some details of what actually happened would be good.

Start by check CIFAS to see what sort of markers you have on there.

Were you recieving money for a 3rd party for "commission" and passing on the remainder ?

GillsAndy

Yes Browntoa exactly that I feel such an idiot now.

AKA money laundering.

Not to sound harsh but it's hard to believe you could think this wasn't even a little bit dodgy.

As above check CIFAS.

I understand that BoGof but after looking on their website and speaking to their so called manager numerous times the way it was explained to me all seemed legit yes I’m very trusting.

Its ok to be trusting, but the problem is it sounds like your too trusting.

You need to stop being so trusting, if your not sure about anything then say "you will think about it" or ask on here or google it.

Theres very little you can do to fix this now , it's unlikely the bank will agree to remove the marker

That'll get you a CIFAS cat 6 marker. All your accounts and your credit rating will be affected by this.
