It just said to return the money which I want to do but am still wary about this. I emailed back and asked for a phone number but have not received an answer. Should I just send it back (not sure how)? Who would leave their rent money in someone else’s account and not answer texts or emails. Just very strange to me.
Thanks
Absolutely hold on. I am not familiar with this scam, but it sounds like others that are well known. I believe that when you posted three weeks ago, someone said that you should contact the senior crimes section of the PD. I would start there.
