long story short. i am 17 yrs old, i was looking for a job online. i got a job as an online receptionist... the boss told me one day to recieve money for him from the clients. he said the company sells bikes. once i recieved the money.. i double checked the clients name to see if he was real and genuine everything seems fine.. i transferred the money into my bank acc and then sent it out thru money gram! it was 2200euro! i was following the boss instructions. excluding the little things that happened throughout.. then 2 weeks later.. the client opened a case on me.. so i hold a negative balance 2200euro i asked the boss for help, he said he can fix this and another client would send 7300dollars and i can use the funds to recover the negative balance..and the rest i shall send it away again. i was suspicious about it at that time.. but the client was real and the boss told me the company name... i tried to contact the client on facebok and email to confirm that he had recieved the bikes...as the boss told me he did.. i hold onto the money for one week... the boss started to threaten me as i asked questions and confronted him... he even set up a fake email to pretend to be the client saying that he recieved the bikes and i should send over the money...i did.... the client opened the case on me again leaving me a huge negative balance.. i called the police.. the company doesnt exist.... as time goes by ..paypal refunded the client money. the police hasnt any updates.. i tried to contact other victims but they are ignoring me.. leaving me with stress myself.. Do i need to pay it back? my paypal is under my father's name with his permission to use it all the time.. ... View more
