Description

Shahzeb which owns Esigns USA in Wallingford Connecticut. He had an ad for a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder for sale on Facebook market. We drove down today, September 2, 2025 to check the car out. We asked him if we can test drive it. He said you can’t take it too far because it doesn’t have any gas. So my daughter-in-law and myself, we took the car on the street parallel to his business to test drive the car. I did feel an initial buck in the car and jolt, but I thought maybe it was because it was almost completely empty on gas. Once we paid for the car, we took it to the gas station and put in gas. We filled the tank. We then took it on the highway proceeding to drive it home and within one second of getting on the highway the car once it hits 60 mph it bucked so hard and it jolted us. I then called who I believed was.Shahzeb but we’re now learning through our investigations on Facebook and everything that I believe we did not get the name of the guy that sold us the car but Shahzeb is his twin brother. So upon speaking to him, I told him listen we can’t afford to spend $3000 on a car with the transmission already almost gone and he said well you’re not Mechanics and I said absolutely right. I’m not a mechanic and he said well, if you take it to a mechanic and the mechanic confirms that it is a transmission I will give you back your money. So we drove five minutes from his place of business to a mechanic shop and we had a mechanic named RJ drive the vehicle and tell us whether it is a transmission problem or not. While RJ was driving the car he mentioned it is definitely the transmission and it’s on its way out. He told me I don’t have a crystal ball, but I would not suggest you driving this for too long. And I mentioned to him while we live in Glastonbury will it even make it there and he said no. I then asked them could the problem be why the car is bucking is because They mentioned that they put in premium gas we filled it up with 87 just regular could that cause this bucking? The mechanic RJ said no. I then asked him in your professional opinion. Is the Transmission gone gone? He said yes. And I said us driving it just this 30 minutes. Could it have done this to the Transmission? He said no This Transmission’s been going for a while and now you don’t know when it’s going completely just leave you stranded. So I called Shahzeb back and told him we had a mechanic look at it. That’s right around the corner from your business and he told us the transmission is definitely bad so we would appreciate to get our money back. Will give you back the title. The transaction literally happened 30 minutes ago so we were not too concerned that he wasn’t gonna give us back our money but then he said he is not giving back our money. I told him no we’re not willing to take this car for $3000 and the transmission is already gone. He said well come back tomorrow morning and maybe I’ll be there and we can talk. And I said well I’d like to meet you today because I’m not willing to drive this car and then have the transmission break and then you bought it you own it kind of thing. So I told him no we’re not willing to drive the car. We’re gonna drive it back to your business and we would appreciate you giving us back our money since the transaction only happened 30 minutes ago. Upon arriving back we met with his dad and his dad and I have this recorded his dad said yes come tomorrow morning because you know he’s out meeting someone and he won’t be back till later tonight and he’ll give you your money back tomorrow when you come. And I told him no we’re not taking that car and he goes no leave the car and I said so we leave the car with you with the title and no money I said no we’re not doing that either. So I said please tell your son to get here and just give us back our money. I believe they called the cops so two officers showed up and they actually said this is awful what they’re doing to you. So they offered us to give them back the car and they will give us $1500 back. And I said and you’re keeping $1500 for what oh because now we can’t sell the car. And I said absolutely not you’re not keeping $1500 in the car so we just lose $1500 and walk away with nothing? He said yeah that’s the best we can do. And this was the guy that we bought the car from and then his brother that I guess is the one that we found on Facebook and and that’s Shahzeb actually said OK will give you back $2000 but you’ll have to sign a paper right now saying you won’t sue us for the other thousand? My daughter-in-law was in such duress and crying and a mess that she signed that paper because she was wanting to get at least $2000 of her money back. But I continue telling them how can you guys keep $1000 for nothing!? So we gotta lose $1000 because you’re you’re trying to sell us a lemon? The cops agreed with us and said my daughter-in-law should not have signed that paper but because she was under SUCH DURESS AND ANXIETY and she didn’t wanna lose the whole $3000 she signed. I believe they are scam artists and they possibly have done this to many other people. They are now threatening me with a $50,000 lawsuit for defamation because I have been posting it on social media that to be aware of them and don’t buy a car from them and I explained exactly what happened to my daughter-in-law so there is no defamation. I have everything recorded on video even with the cops there and everything and Shahzeb and his brother actually bragged that they had on a $12,000 bracelet and a $25,000 watch and they said that money is no object for them and they’re not concerned about money. i’m very sad that this happened. I’m very sad that we got scammed but I am praying that someone can help us get our thousand dollars back.
