So I had replied to an email thinking I was going to be brought on in the company as something.

Turns out they have deposited money into my account and have asked me to withdraw and send out via WU as soon as possible and I get to keep a certain percentage....

This seems a bit legit to me, but at the same time it doesnt.
Wire transfers cannot be reversed, and I was never asked to give them any money.

What are my options?
Does this sound like a scam?

Thank you. Embarassed

It does sound like a scam.

Take a look at this link which details a practice called account flashing http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/showthread.php?p=878.

Also take a look on our sister site scamwarners.com here - http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=34 for details of loads of similar scams.

You may well find the details of the scammer you are dealing with are already there, if not please post them up for others to see.

As to the money in your bank account, if I was you I would get in touch with your bank and explain everything to them.
