Moneygram
Wal-Mart Ripped me off by releasing money without proper ID

While attempting to purchase an RV on line, using RV Classified's site, we were victimized by Brad Despino, Moneygram, and Wal-Mart. The person calling himself Brad Despino required $3,000 to be sent by Moneygram. He wanted assurance that we would show up to purchase the RV, as previous buyers had not. He even suggested that we send the moneygram to ourselves to prevent any problems at the pick up site. He required the name and address of the reciepient and the Moneygram ID number. This was all going to Columbus, Oh. He wanted to confirm the deposit had been made before he bought his airline ticket to Columbus, Oh. As he was in the millitary and being sent to Afganastan, so time was getting short to close the deal on the RV. After sending the Moneygram, my husband got worried, and e-mailed Moneygram. They told him that the money had already been picked up. We were scheduled to arrive in Columbus, Oh. To do this 3 days later. The money was released in Springfield, Oh.
On Thanksgiving day and it wasn't released to my husband, we were still in Farmerville, La. Brad told us that Moneygram was closed for Thanksgiving the day he tried to confirm the deposit. His e-mail was dated Thanksgiving day, as was the one stating that he had confirmed the deposit the next day. This all was a total SCAM, and after doing a lot of research on line, I have found this same SCAM has been pulled on a lot of people. Moneygram has refused to give us the site at which the money was picked up in Springfield, Oh., only the date and time. Any further information would require a subpoena. Well, Springfield PD told me that by the time that they got a subpoena, the tapes at the location where the money was picked up would be taped over. Nobody has been in a hurry to help me get my money back, much less to catch this LOW LIFE that scamed us. Wal-Mart would not put a password on the moneygram because the girl doing it had forgotten to put that in and didn't want to do it all over again. I was told that pass words were only needed for people without IDs trying to pick up money. This all cost me $3106. Moneygram charged $106 to do the transaction. I am absolutely sick about this, and don't know what else to do about it.
