Default Neeed help from san antonio..pls read this!!!!!!!!!

Well guys this is wat hapend..I was led to think I was buying a truck throug ebays vehical purchase protection program..and well I think I got scamed....I have 2 reasons to think this.
1.I just read up and found out that they wouldn't use moneygram as a form of payment..witch is wat I did...(I found out after I sent the money)
2. I lookd up the adress of the suposed ebay motors financial departments..and it looks to be a house..wtf??? I know..

Well all I'm asking is if there's someone in the san antonio area that lives near this adress
18711 Calle Cierra San Antonio TX 78258..and if some one here can just check the house out..see if there's actuall some one living there..
The guys name is James Rowland the "upose "ebay motors financial department agent"..
Help a guy out pls guys..this basterd got 3grand from me..if some one does live there..well I guess I'm gona have to go pay him a visit..

Thanks , ruben,
Ps I know I'm an idiot for not doing my homework and falling for a scam.

Why would you ever send a money gram? Common man, I'm sorry that happened to you, but use some common sense.

Let me guess... Was a smoking deal on a truck... Guys was out of the country, or going out of the country, but "item" was all ready to be shipped to you after you paid for it... Wanted to go though EBAY for YOUR protection... Send him the money gram and he would ship you the truck, right?

Sound about right??

Too bad it happened to you but they wouldn't have a saying about it if it did not happen.

You do realize that they used a fake address. Whoever lives there has no knowledge of this scam you got trapped in. Sorry it happened to you, but many guys here warned you.

I agree why would they give you there actual address? Everything else was a lie why would they give you something to easily locate them
