Google Checkout
Complaint 13242 Details

I was attempting to buy a car. The add to contact the seller by email was on craig's list. The seller contacted me through email in response to my inquiry about the car. They said that we had to go through google checkout to submit the money so I looked up the website to see that it was a legitimate website. The transaction paperwork looked very legitimate, it had the logo and everything. I was informed to send the money through western union. I was also told to email and fax the receipt to google checkout. After i faxed the receipt from western union The supposed "google checkout" company sent me a receipt for my transaction with them as proof that they received the money I sent. All of the information seems very legit especially because I received receipts the whole time. Yet the seller nor the supposed "google checkout" will not contact me back and it has been a week. I have sent tons of emails. I just want my money back It was all i had and I needed to by a decent car that was safe enough for me and my baby. [email protected] was the email that the seller contacted me from the name they gave me was Maria Gomez. This was the reciept they sent me
Item Name: 2001 Volkswagen Passat

Item Price: $1,800.00
