Single mom scammed trying to do honest work but now needs help

I was victimzed by a check cashing scam led by a European group. They contacted me through careerbuilder.com and hired me as a dontations collector sent me a cashier's check and instructed me by email to wire the money by Western Union. I deposited the check in my account and waited until I thought it cleared and wired the money.  I went to the bank to withdraw some money and I was told that my account was overdrafted by $3,444and the $1000 that I had left in my accoubtto live off of for the rest of the month ( the next 21 days and pay bills, rent was gone. I almost fainted.

I contacted the FTC,secret service, Western Union, the state attorney general's office and the bank who is investigating the matter. I am a single mom who is struggling to make ends meet. I even looked online at google.com, msn.com and yahoo.com to check the organization out before getting invoved in this. I have never done anything illegal in my life, I am not a criminal. I have worked in chid welfare for many years as a social worker and I love helping people but now I need help.

Despite my reports the organization has a website www.lsheltonhome.com and they are scamming unsuspecting job seekers if there bank does not intervene and not cash the phony checks. There are two websites with more information about this scam that I found last night. They are http://www.peopleschronicle.org/victims.html and http://www.webnetpresence.com/that have more information about this specific scam.

I am praying that someone helps because I am a honest person that was looking for extra work because I am financially strapped from month to month. All my funds have been taken by the bank and I only received half of my paycheck this month.

Anyway I don't know if my story is of interest of interest to you but I do not want other people to suffer as a result of these evil people.The  bank is holding me responsible for $4600.

I am single mom who gets paid once per month. My bank has tied up all my funds and I don't have a
savings. My rent check hasn't even cleared for the month and I may evicted from my home because I do
not have anyone to help me.

The fake organization is called the Lance Shelton Internationl Organization. There web page is
www.lsheltonhome.org Please do not be victimized. Any donations to help myself and my two year old son would be really appreciated. Thank you. nycndatriad@yahoo.com
