Description
In June 2023, I wanted to purchase a vehicle for my wife. QA Autos advertised a Lexus LX 570 with VIN JTHY7AX6G4189656 and with 69,789 miles on it. After discussions and negotiations, I agreed to purchase the above vehicle for $37,200 (Thirty Seven Thousand, Two Hundred Dollars). The scammer issued me invoice for the amount. Per the invoice I made the payments into the scammer Bank of America business account in the name of Quality Assurance Autos LLC. The scammer states they don't sell vehicles for use in the United States and that their vehicles cannot be registered in the US. My wife currently works in Nigeria and I wanted the vehicle to be shipped to her in Nigeria. Upon completing payment, the scammer was no longer reachable. I reached out to Bank of America. The wire transfer were also made from my Bank of America account. Bank of America investigated and reported back that that QA Autos closed its account after collecting the payments I made into its account in Bank of America. Currently, I neither have my vehicle or my money back. The scammer has "vanished" and has continued advertising on its website and via email to me.
