Hey, need some advice hopefully someone here can help me out.
I got into a program at UCLA and needed housing, waited til the last minute and found the "perfect place", condos for rent, right next to my class on Craigslist.
I email the guy, he emails me a contract, posing as an agent for the condo owner with chase bank info for me to deposit 2500 into. I use a cashier's check from my bank and three days later I'm in LA to find I have nowhere to live. I end up staying with family, who are nice enough to get some info from chase while I'm in my classes. The account had been put on hold a few days after my deposit for fraud. I've filed a police report and gone to chase directly, but they say I need a subpoena chase. So lawyer up? Any chance of getting my money back?
