<prompt> Human: Upon graduating college in May 2018, myself and two others planned to get a house together bc buying stuff alone is really expensive. On this journey we scrolled through COUNTLESS homes, apartments, town homes, etc to find a house that we THOUGHT we would be calling home sooner than later.I inquired about the house to whom i though it belonged, Mr. Richard Drabick. I asked numerous question about the home, which he answered pleasingly to. He then sent me a rental application, which i filled out and sent back. He then followed up with a lease agreement. We planned to meet when he got back into town. I told him we would go see the property ourselves and did so. The pictures matched, we talked to the neighbors, everything seemed great.I filled out my lease, the application and let him know that i would have everything on a set day. The day we planned to meet I sent him the deposit through my Wells Fargo mobile Application. That day he did not meet up with me, after calling him numerous times, i gave up and contacted the bank. He called me the next day stating that he was sorry and h ad an issue with something at another property. I forgave him we rescheduled. The day that we rescheduled for he called me with some piss poor excuse that I didnt want to hear anymore of and it started to be really sketchy so I asked for my money back and contacted my bank again.Couple weeks later, I went into a Wells Fargo Branch, where i spoke to a banker, Gave him every piece of information I could. He told me that he could see where the account i sent money to had been receiving money and wiring it to SOUTH AFRICA. He told me that i have been involved in a scam. Wells Fargo has closed my claims multiple times, I have reopened them all and am awaiting ANY kind of help.IDK what Reddit can do to help, but as of now im willing to try anthing. PLEASE  <response>: You learned a valuable lesson, very sorry about your money but its gone. Couple weeks laterThe wire transfer was already done long ago, but if it was any other transaction you still took way to long to try and get this resolved.
