[QUOTE=bearxj86;9634615]I would ask for a copy of his bank statement with the $13,500 being taken out. /QUOTE]
It was a 'cash' payment, although I have serious doubts anyone would be walking around LA with $13,500 in their pocket. It must have been withdrawn from a bank account at some point so why not debit the wire transfer directly from that account. There is just SO much odd behavior and activity by seller that the only explanation is the OP is being duped. Biggest red flag for me is that seller was offering to resend on Monday (did that actually happen?). WTF. Why would anyone send another $13,500?
OP I don't see why you can't call the sending bank. They can confirm you are the recipient and that you have a transaction number. You just need them to confirm the authenticity in the wire transfer system. Takes a couple of key strokes.
