Clara Svenson’s latest Scam

]]> Unfortunately, I only found this website after I had been scammed out of $2850 for a 2001 Toyota Tacoma 4×4 by Clara Svenson and listed on Craig’s List.  Her letter sounded much like all the others….”giving the money to charity and involved with UNICEF, truck without a dent or scratch and always garaged in Helena, Montana, wanted to use Ebay (as she had a long account with them) for protection to both of us.”  The money had to be sent by Western Union to Chandler Crawford,27 East Jackson St., Orlando, Fla.  Clara’s  address was listed at 1540 Gallatin Ave,  Helena, MT 59601   The central fax number where all information about the money had to be faxed was 1 (206) 888-4042 .  I have to admit that everything really looked official, but I feel like such a fool.

I’m 73 years old, live on Social Security and the meager savings that I’ve accumulated after working 50 to 60 hours a week  in a glass plant until I was able to retire.  Clara and her accomplice have really hurt me.  I hope and pray they can be brought to justice and can never scam anyone else.
