Consumer Narrative
I sold a XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX, his XXXX, and his XXXX, XXXX XXXX, using XXXX on XX/XX/2022 for {$650.00} in XXXX, OK. On XX/XX/2022, about a month after the transaction had been finalized, the buyer then notified their bank that the purchase was an unauthorized charge. XXXX also has blocked me on XXXX, which most normal buyers don't do unless they are up to no good. XXXX was unable/unwilling to help me and their sole purpose was recouping the amount owed, and sought to have me pay a total of {$660.00} to settle my account. I consider myself a victim of fraud/theft as I have logs from XXXX stating XXXX XXXX, his XXXX, and himself were on board with the purchase, so I reported an XXXX form. I have not heard anything back regarding my filing of the XXXX form. I have also filed a complaint with XXXX XXXX. I have video footage of the meetup with the XXXX who came to pick it up, and pictures of the chat logs. I am on limited income and XXXX due to having a XXXX and a chronic XXXX. I was trying to earn a little extra money to pay for my expensive medicine, I don't have the income to take a {$660.00} hit to my finances and pay for their fraudulent actions. I tried to attach the video but the file exceeds the XXXX limit, if it is required I am more than happy to show that as evidence as well. I have attached the relevant chat logs. Reference # XXXX
