January 2005, i purchased a new car.
my grandfather co-signed with me.
later on i could no longer afford this car. i put an ad on the internet (autotrader.com) and got an email from a gentlemen claiming to be an auto-broker. i was so desperate to get rid of this car. i emailed him back and agreed that his client could buy it. i was selling this car online for 11,000. the gentlemen (the scam artist) sent me an email saying that he would send me a check for 19,000, the extra money was for shipping the car to where his client lived. supposedly. the check that was sent to me was counterfeit. the kicker is, i sent him the remainder of the 7-8,000 that was for "shipping" purposes and now the bank is holding me responsible for the money i wired the scammer. i had to give the car back to the bank. i owe the bank 6 grand for the car and another 6 grand for the money that that scammer took from me. can the 6 grand for the scammed $ be discharged in bankruptcy?
(i paid some of this bill)
