Consumer Narrative
I was scammed by a woman who was renting me an apartment. She asked for {$1700.00} ( XX/XX/2022 ) over Zelle for the security deposit which I paid under the circumstances that this was a legitimate apartment. She refused to show me/tour the apartment and told me I could submit a document to get my funds back. She asked for more money and I said no if I cant see the apartment.I did submit this document and have emails from her starting under the circumstances I would get the money back. I have not received the money. I contacted Zelle because my bank couldn't dispute it. They refused to make an exception as I have a paper trail of this woman telling me I would get my money back, and because I was under the impression she was a reliable person until she scammed me. I have texted and emailed everyday and she has not responded. They told me that there was nothing that they could do despite the circumstances, and I was at fault for authorizing the payment.
