Complaint 1427 Details

A guy from Nigeria calmed that he had a house for rent in wisconsin rapids. He had postings of the house and told me that he had gone to Nigeria because he had bought land there and wouldnt be back to the U.S. for 10 years. He gave me the address of the home and his phone number where he could be contacted. He asked that i fill out an application and send the money so i sent the 600 security deposit first. Later on that day he asked me to send the first months rent through western union which i proceeded to do until the bank had stopped me and questioned me about the money transfer. I than realized that it was a scam and contacted the police and they had told me that 5 other people in wisconsin rapids had been also scammed by this same guy in Nigeria.
