Consumer Narrative
So I was On the market looking for a house. Sadly I fell for one of those scams where I saw the house was listed at a good price and the landlord isnt who they say they are. On XX/XX/2022 I fell for the scam and sent my landlord {$1000.00} from my saving account to secure a security deposit. The next day I seen that the email enrolled on XXXX was unenrolled so thats when I knew something was up. I called my bank and told them the situation I was in, they later said they would do a claim but it turns out they cant do anything because I verified the amount but before hand, I was going to verify the amount I asked the my banker if I could get reimbursed if this because a scam so I said yes verify the transaction. Later to find out it was a scam and im not being reimbursed after calling right after
