Hello all,
I made a payment to someone through Google Wallet who I thought was credible on Instagram for $350 for Canon PowerShot S1. At the time he had 15k+ real followers. Later I found out he was stealing other people's photos. We talked through Text and DMS on Instagram. He told me it was shipped and gave a fake tracking number. It's been a week and now I am blocked on Instagram and he doesn't respond. Of course I got scammed.
I called Google and told them that this was an unauthorized transaction. They said that they checked their records and it was a legitimate transaction and to call my bank to tell them make a chargeback.
What do I tell my bank? That it was unauthorized or that I got scammed? I am scared that the bank is going to contact Google and tell them that it was an authorized transaction. Let me know what you think. Thank you.
