| Complaint |
The apartment wAs advertised through the 'secure' site by oodle.com. The apartment appeared to belong to the advertiser. We have friends who stay in the same building and thought that the possibility of a visit from them to the advertiser proved some sort of security. I was asked to send the first months rental of $1550 and the deposit of $1000. I had previously lost a rental by not sending the money quickly enough so I transferred the smaller amount to the account of Rosa mogollon, supposedly the 'manager' of the advertiser. The instruction was to send the larger amount to another address again in New York. By this rime I was very suspicious so had someone check the owner of the apartment. The advertiser was neither the owner nor resident. I contacted he site to report the scam and then the US online fraud unit. My financial company recalled the funds but the bank have said to contact the person whose account the funds were paid. I am in the process of this. I have looked up the name Rosa p mogollon and found she has a number of alias's. She also appears to have a number of residences in NY, Florida etc. Beware of names like this. My husband and I are both disabled and retired and this was to be a last holiday which is now in jeopardy.
We stay in the UK and it is difficult to follow something through from this distance. |
