Description

THIS WAS THE SECOND CAR I WAS BUYING. FOUND THE CAR, 1970 DODGE CHALLENGER ON A WEBSITE, SERACH FOR CARS. EMAIL THE OWNER, MELISSA SCOTT. SAID CAR WAS AT TRANSPORT COMPANY IN FLORIDA. J AND M CAR CORP WOULD CONTACT ME BY EMAIL. THEY SENT ACCOUNT NAME, ACCOUNT NUMBER, ROUTING NUMBER, BANK NAME, BANK ADDRESS, REFERNCE NUMBER FOR WIRE TRANSFER. RECV EMAIL AND SENT MONEY TO CHASE BANK IN CALIFORNIA. THEY SENT EMAIL AND SAID WIRE TRANSFER PROBLEM AND ASK FOR MY MONEY BACK. I DID AND NO ANSWER. I WENT TO MY BANK, WELLS FARGO AND FILED A WIRE TRANSFER COMPLAINT TO GET MY MONEY BACK. I THOUGHT I HAD DONE MY HOMEWORK AND IT LOOK GOOD. THE TWO THINGS I DIDNT DO WAS CHECK THE BBB IN FLORIDA AND THE CHASE BANK IN CALIFORNIA. THIS SET UP WAS A GOOD SCAM. THE CAR IS STILL FOR SALE ON THE WEBSITE. I WENT TO CHASE BANK, LOCALLY AND TALKED WITH THEM. THEY TOLD THE ACCOUNT IS UNDER INVESTIGATION. IT WAS ALSO WITH STMS L.L.C. I AM ALSO DOING A POLICE REPORT. I WAS BUYING BOTH CARS WITHIN TWO DAYS OF EACH OTHER.
