Leon
Complaint 215837 Details

I was sellin a Collectible Star Trek Captains t-shirt on craigslist.com. A person name Leon asked about the shirt. Then he asked if he could send a check to me and have a "Mover" come to pick it up when the check cleared. I said that would be fine. Later on I recieved a check in the mail and opened it. The check was made out to me but for $1950.50. I was uneasy about that. So I contacted him through a txt message because every time I would call it would say "The google plus suscriber is unavailable at this time". I asked him why he sent that much. But the wierd thing was the check was from some company. He said to go to my bank and cash it and money transfer him the rest of the money after I deducted the cost of the shirt which was $320.00. So I took the check to the bank and waited one day for it to clear. Then I went to western union to send the rest of the money which was $1630. Then he said that i was supposed to send it to Keturah Tribble 22 Beard Street Brooklyn, NY 11231. So I did But all of a sudden Leon said that he was in a accident while on an assignment and asked to get the money back and send it to Danielle Taylor 18110 Traverse Dr Alva. Fl 33920 and to go to a money gram store and send it that way. So i went back to western union and got part of it in cash and the other in a money order. I paid for the money transfer with my debit card. So i then took the money order to the bank and had them cash it. Then when they looked in my account they told me that the original check was not cleared and i had a negative in my account so i gave the cash to the bank and the money order from western union. they said they dont know if itll clear and then ill be out of $1000 dollars since i paid the other part with cash. I told Leon of this over txt message and he said "WHat ? It didnt ?. I then thereatend to call the authorieties and tried to get him to give me his adress. But he wouldn't. So now im out all this money because i was scammed and i cant trust no one in this world. I have all the txts from him saved in my phone. And i have the original package that the check came in. and i have the western union receets to match with the txts and the names and the adresses of the people he mentioned. so they could be contacted and questioned. Leon's number that he txted me from is 267-908-3127. He sent one other txt message from another number but never answered back from it. IT is 636-525-1211. Im out all this money and i jus want it to be resolved. I was going to use the money from the shirt to pay a few bills. My name is Charlie (Personal Information Removed).
