Gladden and FTI are both in the process of being reported for fraud.

Gosh!
I have accepted the offer as a customer service representative for this company. They sent me via email forms to fill up and thinking that this is a legitimate company, I have given all my bank details plus my residential address to the company. What should I do now????

Tell your bank.

If this is as suspected a money mule scam, then they direct other victims to make payments into your bank and then have you move the money on (less your administration fee) thus laundering the stolen money and making you liable for the full amount.

See the training material under the Grafton Consulting Center topic.

On the other hand you may have provided sufficient details for them to steal your identity.

Alert your bank. You may be getting a wire transfer from one of their customers (a victim of some other scam). It's important that that money not end up in the hands of the scammers, and that the victim of the scam find out that it's a scam. Do not withdraw the money, but don't tell FTI that you know it's fake either.

Once you get a transfer, say nothing at all to FTI ever after. Let the bank handle sending the money back to the sender. You may get fake letters appearing to be from the FBI threatening imprisonment if you fail to forward the money; ignore them.

Print out the emails from FTI, including full headers which show where the message really came from, and show them to the fraud department at the bank. You may end up having to close the account and open a new one.

Thanks for the tips.

I received an email from FTI that my training will start on the 8th Jan and the manager will be in contact with me. Nothing has been done yet. Should i just tell the manager when he called that I have found another job? And that I will not be working for FTI? However, they still have my bank and residential details. Do you think I should should close my bank account? Would I still have to let the bank know even though nothing has been done yet?
Oh God I am so scare.. and confused!!!!

Joyce,

vonpaso xlura is the expert, but I would say don't worry.

You should alert your bank to the fact that you have probably given your personal & bank details to criminals
but you haven't done anything illegal yourself.

So say "Thanks, but no thanks" if they get in contact

You should never have to provide your bank details to an employer until you have actually started work.

and good luck with the job search.
