I saw an ad on Craigslist.org for a home for rent. Contacted the people on the ad, they accepted my application and instructed me to send them 700$ via a green dot card (cash card) and this was for the deposit of the home. I proceeded to do so. I gave the information to the man i had been dealing with and soon after that another man asking if i had made the transaction via western union, i replied puzzled, that i had already sent him the money the way he asked me to. Everything when down hill from there, two men claiming they are the owners of the home, 'i call the man i gave the information to and ask to send me the money back he said ok, im going to send 900$, because of fees, at this time the western union closed and well we decided that i would pick it up sunday, sunday came and i went to money gram now because he said there was a problem at the western union, so i go to money gram i phone him to ask for the numbers of the transaction. He replied back to me saying that I needed to send him 200$ and i would get it back right away. I reluctantly sent him an additional 200$ but time came and went i was busy all day so i agreed to pick up the money monday, monday came and went when i got off work I called him and he let me know there was a problem with the money gram that it was "refunded" at least not to me, money gram said the person i sent it to picked it up, he asked for another 200$ and i would receive 1,200$ i did not believe him anymore and he gave me another number for" money gram headquarters " i call there a man confirms that he will take care of everything and i would get my money back within 20 min, he said i needed to have 200$ to do so, SCAM RING NOW I KNOW THIS. SO he said that all i need is 150$, all day i refused and in a moment of weakness and irritation, i just wanted all of it to be over, i conceded and gave in and sent him 150$ via green dot, the man who supposedly worked for money gram said he was doing the transaction but they were in line at western union... My suspicions were all true these men are all bad, this morning 6/26 at 6 am i received a phone call from the original man i gave the 700$ to and the 200$ he said he had deposited the money at western union this morning, he gave me the numbers for the transaction, around 11 am i go to western union to pick up the money and low and behold THE WAS NO MONEY, at about 4:45pm he continues to tell me he needs the 200$ for a service fee but that i would be be re-embursed blah blah blah, i said no im going to the cops u will hear from my lawyers and here i am.
