Support Alicia and Kellie After Apartment Scam

Hi, my name is Alicia, and we were scammed out of an apartment. Me and my disabled daughter Kellie and my three cats lived in Pittsburgh, and I got a job transfer to New Jersey to be closer to family. I found a listing for an apartment on Craigslist. I signed a lease that I had a lawyer look at, and he said it looked legit. I had a welcome note from the property management welcoming us to our new apartment. I paid movers to pack up my current apartment, and today we drove to New Jersey. When we got to the apartment, I couldn’t get a hold of the property manager. I tried calling, and the phone number immediately hung up. I went to knock on the door of the apartment, and I could hear people inside. I went to a neighboring apartment and was told that there are definitely people living there.  I went to the police station to file a report, which will be forwarded to a detective, and now me and my daughter and our three cats are in a hotel. I am paying a fortune for a hotel room and there is a $75 per pet fee.  It is a Saturday, so I’m sure no apartments will be open tomorrow on Sunday as I now have to find an immediately available apartment. I have to contact our moving company to tell them to hold onto all of our belongings until I find a place for it to be delivered. I am now using the money that I was going to pay the movers upon the final drop-off of our furniture to pay for a hotel room. I was scammed out of $2600 for first month rent and security deposit, and I’m going to contact my bank since the transactions were done through wire transfers to see if I can be reimbursed. But now I don’t have any money to put down for a deposit on a new apartment, so I’m hoping someone will just work with me. I’ve had a lot of hard times lately, and this is just another blow. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
