I have a business in which I sell pure bred rabbits. I have advertising in several places, Face book, Website... I received an email from Michelle Young wanting to purchase some rabbits and then proceeded to ask related question. Unfortunately she is not local and therefore will be sending out a third party to pickup of these rabbits. I was to receive payment from her in the amount of $1976 and then I was to pay the shipping company directly from those funds, $1450.00. She sent me the instructions as to who to pay and how, thorough Western Union. Within a few days I received a check in the mail for the $1976 and processed it through my local bank. Unfortunately, my bank did not hold the check for clearance and simply cashed it for me. I took those funds and forwarded the balance to the shipping company. When the date came for them to pick up the rabbits I did not receive a call for scheduling, so I sent a text to Michelle and I received a message back stating that this was he husband responding and that she was in the hospital in danger. He then proceeded to ask me for additional funds to help them out. I refused him and that was the last time I have had contact with them. I received a call from my bank a few days later and they told me that a stop had been placed on the check. This is where things are at currently.
