I HAVE BEEN SCAMMED OF $18,000 WHICH WAS ALL THAT I HAD FOR RAINY DAY. IT TOOK ME ABOUT TWO YEARS TO SAVE IT. I WAS LOOKING UNDER PROPERTIES FOR SALE ON EBAY AND SAW THE LISTING FOR A HOUSES IN DETROIT FOR $1500 WITH RENTAL OF $870 IMMEDIATELY IT CAUGHT MY EYE AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD DEAL. I CONTACTED THE SELLER MARY GAIL PETERS WHO TOLD ME THAT SHE PHD DEGREE AND SHE MAKES OVER $10,000 PER WEEK FIXING UP PROPERTIES IN DETROIT AND RENTING THEM FOR $750 AND OVER. SHE TOLD ME SHE HAD A PROPERTY MGR IN DETROIT THAT LOOKS AFTER THE PROPERTIES FOR HER. AND THAT SHE ARRANGED WITH THE TENANTS TO HAVE THE RENT DEPOSITED IN HER BANK ACCOUNT. SHE ALSO TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD TWO PROPERTIES IN DETROIT AND INDIANA AND SHE WOULD IMMEDIATLY RENT THEM FOR ABOUT $3000 PER MONTH. THE ONE IN INDIANA SHE STATED IS A TWO FAMILY HOUSE WITH TWO 4 BEDROOM APTS THAT SHE WOUL BE ABLE TO $1000 OR MORE FOR EACH APT AND $1000 OR MORE FOR APT IN DETROIT. SHE SENT ME PICTURES OF THE PROPERTIES BY E-MAIL. I REQUESTED THAT SHE SEND ME PICTURE OF THE INSIDE BECAUSE I NEEDED TO KNOW THEIR CONDITIONS. SHE PROMISED THAT SHE WOULD GET THEM FOR THE PROPERTY MGR BUT NEVER DID. SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE DID NOT HAVE TO PAY ANY TAXES ON THE PROPERTIES SHE OWN BECAUSE SHE USUALLY MAKES THE AGREEMENT WITH THE TENANT TO PAY ALL THE TAXES. I FELT THIS WAS AN AWSOME DEAL SO I WENT AHEAD AND SENT HER A MONEY ORDER FOR $5500 TO COVER THE TWO PROPERTIES &PROESSING FEES IT HAS BEEN SINCE FEB 2011 AND STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN A COPIES OF THE DEEDS THAT SHE SENT TO THE DEED RECORDING CO. THEN SHE FINALLY SENT ME COPIES BY E-MAIL BOTH STATING DETROIT EVEN THOUTH ONE ON THE PROPERTIES IN FORT WAYNE, IND. I CONTACTED BY E-MAIL AND TOLD THAT I NEEDED A SIGNED AND NOTORIED DEED FROM HER. THE SAME ONE THAT SHE SENT TO DEPT OF DEEDS. SHE STILL HAS NOT FURNISH THE DOCUMENTS EVEN THOUGH SHE SAID SHE WOULD PROVIDE THEM. SHE ALSO TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD A BUSINESS ASSOCIATE THAT BOUGHT 20 CONDOS AND WANT TO SELL 6 OF THEM FOR $5000 EACH AND THAT EACH OF THEM MARKET VALUE WAS $325,000 AND THEY WERE LOCATED ON MIAMI BEACH. I AGAIN SENT HER $5000 FOR THE CONDO. TO DATE I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A DOCUMENT FROM HER THAT THE DEED IS BEING TRANSFERRED IN MY NAME. I ASK HER SEVERAL TIME FOR THE DOCUMENTS THAT SHE HAS FROM THE SELLER THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS TAKEN PLACE. TO DATE I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING SUCH DOCUMENTS OF OWNERSHIP. I CALLED THE DEPT OF RECORDING DEEDS FOR THE OTHER TWO PROPERTIES AND THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RECORD THAT THE PROPERTIES ARE IN HER NAME. THE DEPT OF DEEDS TOLD ME THAT SOMEBODY ELSE OWNS THE PROPERTIES AND WERE PAYING THE TAXES ON THEM.
SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE HAS SOMEONE WITH A PHD WORKING AT THE IRS THAT COULD HELP ME TO LOWER MY BACK TAXES TO A VERY SMALL AMOUNT BUT I WOULD HAVE PAY UP FRONT FOR THE SERVICE. I OWE THE IRS SOME MONEY WHICH I HAVE NOW ASSIGNED TO A LAWYER BUT I THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA SINCE THEY SHE TOLD ME THAT THE TAXES WOULD BE DONE BY THE 18TH OF APRIL 2011 AND WOULD SHOW UP ON THE RECORDS THAT I OWE VERY LITTLE TAXES. T THOUHT THAT THIS MIGHT WORK SO I GAVE HER $750O. SHE SAID SHE WANTED $2500 IN CASH AND $5000 WRITTEN TO IRS. I DID WHAT SHE REQUESTED. THEN IN A FEW DAYS SHE CROSSED OUT THE IRS ON THE MONEY ORDER FOR $5,000 AND WROTE HER NAME GAIL ANN PETERS AND TRIED TO CASH IT AT CHASE. CHASE IN TURN HELD ON TO HER ACCOUNT AT THEIR BANK. SHE CONTACTED AND TOLD ME THAT THE MONEY ORDER I WROTE TO THE IRS WAS FRAUD AND THEY WERE NO GOOD AND SHE WANTED ME TO ACCOMPANY HER TO THE BANK SO THAT THE MONEY COULD BE RELEASED. I WENT WITH HER TO THE BACK AND TOLD THE BANK AND SHE TOLD THE BANK THAT I WAS THE PAYEE OF THE MONEY ORDER. I DID NOT KNOW AT THE THE TIME THAT I WAS AT THE BANK THAT SHE HAD ATTEMPTED TO CASH THE MONEY ORDER. IT WAS LATER ON THAT I REALIZED THAT WHAT TOLD ME WAS THAT THE MONEY ORDER WAS A FRAUD WAS FALSE AND THAT THE BANK PLACED A HOLD ON HER ACCOUNT BECAUSE SHE ATTEMPTED TO CASH THE MONEY ORDER THAT I WRITTEN OUT TO THE IRS. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED HER WHEN I REALALIZED THAT IT WAS A FRAUD AND TOLD HER THAT I DID NOT WANTED TO GO THROUGH IT AND WANTED BACK THE $7500. SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WOULD HAVE BACK THE MONEY THE SAME WEEK BUT TO DATE I HAVE NOT GOTTEN BACK THE MONEY AND HAVE NOT HEARD FROM HER. SHE HAS CHANGED OR TELEPHONE ABOUT 3 TIME DURING THIS PERIOD. I AM ALSO TRYING TO HELP OTHERS THAT THEY BE AWARE OF THES SCAMS. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO GET BACK THE MONEY AS THIS ALL THE MONEY THAT I HAVE. I AM DESPERATE AND ASKING FOR ALL THE HELP I CAN GET.
