Total money lost $1,526
Type of a scam Rental
A home for rent was posted on Craigslist and Zillow. I contacted by email the person on listed on the ad. I ended up applying for and sending rent and security deposit via Western Union. I was told the keys and lease would be sent to me overnight after the payment was received. I asked them if this was a scam and they gave me a story about God and bad people leading to the end of the world. I fell for all of the sob story they gave me and believed this would be the answer to my housing situation. After not hearing the overnight tracking number, I contacted a realtor office that had listed the property and they told me it was not a rental. I am out $1526. The owner of the property is xxxx xxxx but someone posing as her had me send the money to "her sister" Jessica Clark in Mobile, AL.
