Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2022 : My wife and I were in the process of selling a piece of furniture to someone through XXXX XXXX  and the buyer requested to make a payment early to reserve the item. The buyer suggested using XXXX and, since we've used in the past, we opt 'd in. 

Upon exchanging information with the buyer, my wife received an email from XXXX outlining a validation process requiring us to send money since our XXXX account has not been used for a while. This email raised some red flags and we immediately contacted Chase customer support using the number on the back of our debit card. The Chase customer service representative was familiar with the process we described and advised us to follow the process outlined in the email. Although strange, we trusted what the customer support rep had to say and proceeded to send {$200.00} for verification. 

Almost immediately, we realized this was a scam and called the Chase customer support line again. After going through all of the details over the phone, the customer support rep said there was nothing they could do because the transfer was made through XXXX XXXX confirmed by the escalations manager as well ). They filed a report and " curtesy request '' to recover the funds, but advised that there are no guarantees. The customer support agent apologized on behalf of the other agent who originally told us to follow the process, but confirmed that there was no way to rectify the situation- we are now at a {$200.00} loss and left with little trust in the financial institution we've been banking with for several years.
