I just got scammed big time

[Account Closed]

Well i’m in trouble and if someone have a miraculous solution please share

Got a triplex under contract it is worth 140,000 got it under contract at $105,000.

Found a private lender on the BiggerPockets facebook group. Ask for some reference and everyone told me that he was legit and easy to work with.

He had some very well done contract that even my lawyer didn’t suspect anything.

Now after paying loan origination fee and closing cost he disappeared.

The house is officially sold and the closing date is April 27. I dont have monney for a normal down payment because of the FK** monney a spent with him.

What can i do?

Thanks

Please dont judge me i already feel so ashamed and I am completely freaking out

Sounds like a great question for your attorney. What has your attorney suggested @Account Closed? 

How much money are we talking about here? 

I'm not so sure about how to save the deal, but in terms of getting your money back, a lawsuit is probably what it's going to take. 

Don't feel ashamed. Everyone has crap happen to them, some just don't have the cajones to talk about it
