Company Official Name: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION

State: NV

Product: Money transfers
Sub-Product: International money transfer

Issue: Fraud or scam

Full Complaint:
I booked a vacation rental on a well-known website ( XXXX XXXX ). The person who posted the vacation rental falsified the website ‘s documents and sent me an invoice that appeared to be from the website to pay by wire transfer for the rental. I sent the money via my bank wire transfer, and I referenced the company ( XXXX ) and the company ‘s address which I verified before sending. After I sent the money, XXXX XXXX contacted me stating that they received word that this person was scamming their customers by sending invoices that were not legit. It was too late at this point, my money had been sent. XXXX XXXX refuses to assist me in getting my money back as they say I have to book through their website, which I thought I was doing because I was paying XXXX XXXX directly. My bank tried to recall the wire, but the beneficiary refused. I do n’t think a wire should be able to go through if the name and address that are referenced are not those associated with that account. There should be some sort of verification process that keeps that from happening. I am now scammed out of {00.00} and a place to stay on our vacation.
