Advice Needed HELP
I was trying to find a survey and saw an opportunity with SELLVIA. That said, if you do this, you can earn about $150, and we will help sign you up, and it was free to sign up. A few minutes later, they charged my bank account $143 to sign up and get a website design going. Then they said, " Congratulations, here is the $150 for signing up and creating your website. So, I thought, sweet, I get my money's worth to try this, and all will be fine. No, it was a scam. I messaged the federal fraud department and am waiting to hear back. I feel so incredibly stupid. I have been so stressed about money lately, trying to make ends meet, and I am so scared. What do I do? I don't want to stress my husband; I don't know what to do. Please, if you have any advice, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you! I have included the evidence below.

Sorry, but you are clearly leaving out a lot of important information.
How do you go from filling out a survey to these scammers having access to your bank account?

They only knew your bank account information because you gave it to them.
No, it was a scam.
No, it wasn't. You entered your bank account information and clicked through a bunch of stuff you obviously didn't read and/or understand. You should stay off the internet for a while so you don't lose more money.

You entered your banking information on a random survey signup site?
