<prompt> Human: I came to Georgia about a week and a half for work. For one week I was looking for a place to stay about two days in on Wednesday, March 28, 2018 I found a place that was 600 a monthly with 700 deposit. I spoke to the gentleman he explained that he lived in Indiana but had a location in Brookhaven Georgia. He told me that he was willing to rent the place to me as long as we sign a contract and I send this first month payment with the deposit via Walmart to Walmart pay. Before anything and we signed a contract explaining the details and ask him to send me some sort of identification so he sent me his passport.After that signed the contract signed and the money was sent he also explained to me that I should send that second monthly payment of 600 so he could be certain that I really want to place. He told me his lawyer told him to tell me that so we could be a for sure and I told him I would not do that because all the contract asked for was a 600 and 700for the time being. He said OK my Lawyer said to send you the keys in which made me happy because I thought I found a place that was cheap and reasonable. The next day he said he sent it with the email saying it was sent but only will be will I be able to pick up the keys if I pay the shipping cost of 200. Now in the contract it does not say anything that I have to pay for the shipping. That being said I was frustrated the fact that he took his time to send the keys to me and asked me to pay for the shipping at the same time. With that being said I told him I did not want to go through with the contract because it has a buffer of seven days to and the contract before commitment. He said he was going to send the money back via Walmart to Walmart but was taking his time. I told him I am going to hire a lawyer if he doesnt send the money back. Once I called him asking if he sent the money he sounded frustrated and you said I will send it when I want to send it. That once he did not send it I got called for a lawyer but I never got a callback about the broken contract.The reason Im starting to pursue it now is because I actually have time. I relocated to Georgia to be a manager in another store where I work at. That being said it was very difficult to find a location when I was really broke and only could put down a certain amount or I would have to do the second payment in two weeks.I want to talk to a lawyer because Im certain Im in the right here and put me in a very difficult situation without having money for relocating.What do I do do I call lawyer? Im certain if I do I will win. I just dont have time since I am working 71 hours a week. If anyone that lives by Brookhaven Georgia can help me I would appreciate that. I could send you the documents and everything I have I just want to have my money back because its really hard being really broke at this time.  <response>: You got taken for a ride. This is a pretty common scam. Its probably not worth the time or money to pursue a legal avenue. Small claims court if you could ever track down the guy?Consider this an expensive life lesson.
