Butler, PA asked in Consumer Law, Criminal Law, Real Estate Law and White Collar Crime for Pennsylvania

Q: Me and my family got scammed out of 10k by a company that swears they're helping people purchase houses.

They found us "temporary" apartments, twice, and they swore that this money they took from us was going into a down payment for the house we purchase. I have ALL the emails and texts messages with the bull they put us through and all the lies they told. I don't have any of the phone calls saved but I don't believe they are as necessary. What kind of lawyer do I need, and how do I get it all back? They almost destroyed my family. They drained ALL my funds, and now because of them stealing from me, I am poor and unable to afford to live where I am now, or anywhere. They are located in Virginia, and I've live in NYC, NJ and now PA while dealing with them.

A: Contact the Attorney General's Office of Consumer Affairs. You would also have an action in fraud against the company.
