Consumer Narrative
I was scammed through XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. A person claimed to send me money for an item through XXXX ( {$300.00} ). I then got a fake email from XXXX saying to receive this amount I must upgrade to a business account by having the customer send XXXX {$200.00} and then I send it back. Never using XXXX before I sent the {$200.00} back to the fake account and received no credit. I received no goods or services I was simply scammed by fake accounts. My bank denied the dispute that I opened after sending emails and messages to them regarding this transaction.
