Scam/Theft?

[ttf_anonymous]

Hi, I recently purchased a gig bag through a person via MoneyGram. After paying the money plus the ridiculous transfer fee, I was then told later through the week that I would have to pay another $300 to ensure the gig bag was sent to me safely. He says it's been shipped already, and I need to pay to ensure it's arrival. I refused, saying that I wasn't paying another $300 for something that I had already paid for. We made a deal, agreed on said deal, and it should have been the end of that. This person is either a member on here, or just found my ad through looking on here. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'm sure I need to file a claim with MoneyGram, but if he's supposedly shipped it already, what can I do? All experiences and info would be super helpful!

Get your money back, if you can. There was probably never a gig bag to begin with.

Yep, smells like a scam.  Try and get your money back, but odds are that won't happen.  Any more money sent would probablyt be more money wasted.

Odds are good that all that information is fake or not related to the person who actually has your money.

I would look into it. It is wire fraud.
