Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/XXXX I was looking on XXXX XXXX for a used XXXX XXXX to purchase for my nephews birthday. I saw one for XXXX $ and asked if the merchant ( XXXX XXXX ) would be willing to ship it instead of meeting up for the item. The merchant agreed and assured me that once I paid her the money through messenger, she would ship the item and keep me updated. After transferring the money to her over XXXXXXXX XXXXr, the merchant was unresponsive to my messages. I then, reported the merchant to XXXX and filed a dispute with my bank USAA the next day on XXXX XXXX I am a veteran of the United States XXXX and have been with USAA since XXXX. After making the dispute I sent my bank screenshots of the business transaction. I sent screenshots of the merchant being unresponsive. Because this money transaction was through messenger, XXXX advised me to dispute the charge with my bank because the purchase was not made through marketplace. I never received anything in the mail from the merchant. It is clear I am a victim of fraud. I submitted evidence proving I was a victim, but upon speaking with my bank, I was advised I had to make a dispute with XXXX to get my money back. As a bank who I had trusted, I expected that USAA would resolve the dispute in my favor because I was scammed.
