A SINGLE MOTHER OF FOUR OVERCOME HOUSING SCAM!!

Donation protected
I was given thirty days to move out of my current apartment. I was told to be out by Aug 1st 2025 to avoid an eviction. After working 16 hr shifts and selling turkey legs I was able to save up 1900 dollars. I found a house I went and looked at it and loved it. So I put an application in w the owner (so I thought) and was approved. They asked how much did I have to secure the house that day and I gave them 1000 and another 900 dollars. I did all of this only to go to the house to check on things and I find a letter on the door saying to beware of scammers and saying that if the person who’s name on the letter isn’t the person who try’s to rent this home to you please call the number and report them because it’s a scam !This is after I have already given these people my money. He had me go to a bitcoin machine to send him the money but I don’t know anything about bitcoin and everything was looking legit. I have a signed lease as well as keys to the house but the people on the letter isn’t saying they don’t have any connections w this guy and that he doesn’t own the property. I’ve now realized that his id is fake and I have no way of getting my money back. We have three days to be out of this apartment and I have nowhere for us to go. We may have to stay in a motel or shelter until I can find another house. School is also about to start and my children don’t have anything yet bc I was focused on getting us a home now we don’t have the money the house nor school supplies. I’m at work on a 16 hour shift right now trying not to allow this situation to defeat me. If you find it in your heart to help my children and I would greatly appreciate it. I never ask anybody for anything I work hard and take care of my children but I need help on this one. I know I can’t do it alone in such a short amount of time. Praying that God sends his angels because I’m out of resources at this point I just need help!
