Description
I listed a boat for sale, and a scammer named Joe immediately contacted me by text. Here is his info: Phone number: (201) 228-0053 Email: [email protected]. "Joe" was manipulative and pressured me into purchasing a fake “boat history report” from https://boatarchives.com/. When the charge appeared on my credit card, it showed that this website is registered as a household appliance merchant in Italy. This is a fraudulent operation. Do not trust messages from this person or this website. Please be cautious and protect yourself from this scam.
