If I may ask, what was the scam?
Fake housing listing. Said the key would be mailed because they weren’t in the area at the time, and wanted payment via some sort of money order or special check type or something (I forget exact details).
I needed to find a place quickly, with no idea how to do so or what I was doing, that would accept two people and multiple cats, on only my income (not a lot).
I got the wrong kind of payment, was able to get money back from that, and when I went to get the “right” kind of payment the cashier let me know it was a common scam.
