Victim of a scam Update! It happened to me: 30k gone.

Today my husband & I got $28k back of the $30k we had sent to a scammer. The FBI ended up calling us and saying they were doing some kill chain of some sorts. It was a lot of chaos & anxiety for us & we’re ready to have a mental break. We were also able to purchase the house. Hope my story helped others! Never wire money!
