Thousands of Americans were left without pay due to fraud company from New York
The FBI is investigating the sudden closure of a financial transaction processing company in New York, in particular payroll. MyPayrollHR is accused of fraudulent activity, since $ 35 million disappeared after its unexpected closure. New York Post.
As a result of the closure of the company, a large number of employees of various organizations across the country were left without wages.
The local FBI office in Albany said it is “requesting information from business owners who may have suffered financial losses due to the alleged activities of MyPayrollHR and its affiliates.”
Last week, MyPayrollHR suddenly left its offices in Clifton Park (New York) and sent an automatic message to its 4000 customers stating that "the company can no longer process further payroll transactions for company employees."
In the notice, the company referred to "unforeseen circumstances" and advised its customers to "find alternative methods for processing salaries."
In thousands of employees across the country, banks automatically charged credit and other types of accounts, which canceled the balance or even made it negative.

New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo said that "the reckless actions of MyPayrollHR left employees across the state and country with a negative balance in bank accounts," and promised that "he would not allow these bad people to take money from hard-working people."
Компания Pioneer Bancorp сообщила федеральным регулирующим органам, что «недавно узнала о мошеннической деятельности… со стороны клиента одного из своих партнеров» — Pioneer Bank. Позже журналисты Times Union идентифицировали клиента как MyPayrollHR.
В документах, направленных в Комиссию США по ценным бумагам и биржам, говорится, что компанию точно можно взять на крючок касательно кредитных $16 млн, которые являются частью суммы в $36 млн, а еще $19 млн — депозитная часть денег — только потенциально может стать поводом для расследования.
Pioneer Bancorp said that "they are doing everything possible to recover losses" and "have enough capital to cover potential losses."
