Description
I responded to an ad where I saw a saddle that I’ve been looking for. I contacted the seller through email and made what I thought were complete arrangements. I sent him a $2000 ACH transfer and thought everything was all set. I was then notified that I needed to wire another $1000 for shipping insurance for the $2000 saddle or else it would not be sent. That’s when I smell the rat. The name on the bank account where I sent the money was Anthony Smith. The name was lead bank account number *************. Routing number 101019644. The bank address is 1801 Main St., Kansas City, MO 64108 as I mentioned the sellers address is 65 Spring Ln., Fairfax, CA 94930. In order to complete this questionnaire, I had to fill in a phone number for him for which I did not have one. So I put my own phone number in just so we could continue with this report.
