On 9/21/13,a person named David Patrick ([email protected], telephone: 615-669-5634 ) requested info on a item I had for sale on Craigslist via Email. He said he had left town and would send a check to cover the cost of the moving co/shipper. He was going to mail me a certified check for $2000. I was to keep $350 for my antique hall tree I had for sale and send the balance to mover/fees . There were about 24 emails between him and myself from 9-21-13 thru 10-6-13.

I received his check for $2000 on 9-28-13 and I deposited this check on 9-28 and it appeared to have cleared on 9-30-13. I went to the bank on 10-1-13 and withdrew this $2000.00. On 10-1-13, I kept $376.00 for my hall tree and I went to Western Union with the remaining $1626.00 cash. I paid $126 for the Western Union transfer charge, plus $1500 to Corey Frye, 439 Stephanie Drive, Lexington, SC, 29073. I sent the money via Western Union on 10-1-13. As soon as I sent this money via Western Union , I notified this David Patrick via email, that I had sent this money via Western Union and gave him the western union tracking numbers. This money was picked up at 8:21pm EST on 10-1-13.

On 10-6-13 I was checking my account on line and I noticed on 10-4-13 this check had bounced and was returned back to my checking account. A scam - I was so stupid and I thought I had the money so it was okay with me to send him the balance. I have since learned never to send money via Western Union unless you know the person, always wait 10 days before cashing a check from an unknown.

On 10-6-13 I emailed this david patrick and told him that his check had been returned back to me, insufficient funds, bad account. Naturally, I have never heard from him or Corey Frye.

I have notified Internet Crime Complaint Center on 10-7-13, San Diego Police, they can not do anythings, referred me to file a complaint to Internet Crime Complaint Center, FBI, same story, file with ICCC;,San Diego County District Atty. Office-same story file with ICCC, Better Business Bureau, they just took info as an incident report. Western Union said to file a complaint with FTC/Gov./sentinel, they are not open due to this Government Shutdown. I called my bank, they cannot do anything to recover my money as I deposited the check, and I withdrew the money. I WAS TOTALLY SCAMMED.

I don't know if you can do anything to help me recover my money. Please advise.
