Complaint Review: Opus Safe Transactions

Opus Safe Transactions is a scam! It's a fake website, and there's a whole bunch of fake posts on other sites that claim it is legit, but it is not. I lost $3500. Do not, under any circumstances, use this service or any service that looks similar! It looks like they are making up variations of the same scam to confuse people and say that they are the "real" service.

I was scammed on Craigslist by "Angie" - here's the original email, which others have recently posted as well:

It's still available, unfortunately my sister was involved in a car crash last week and I had to come here,  she ended up with a broken arm and can't take care of things around the house, so I have to be here for a while. She can take care of herself but we have the little one to worry about LOL.
