Consumer Narrative
I am reaching out in hopes that you are able to assist me in getting my money back from a scammer. On Friday XXXX XXXX, I sent {$240.00} via Zelle to a seller named XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) for a jumpsuit I was purchasing from her on the popular ecommerce website called XXXX. I found her listing on there and after several back and forth bargaining she said she'd accept my offer if we did the transaction directly to avoid the 20 % seller fee from XXXX. After the payment and several follow-ups, I have not received any tracking information or updates. She stopped responding and has blocked me on XXXX. I've reported this incident to XXXX, Zelle and XXXX, but none of them are able to help me get my funds back, so I would very much appreciate it if you can assist in any way. The scammer 's Zelle account is under her phone number XXXX, and XXXX XXXX was the name she gave me. I also know that she lives in the west coast from our chats. Please let me know if there is any additional information or details needed.
